Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for Jude, with forms such as "jdue", "jjude", and "judde".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "jus", "Jux", "Juli", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
