Short answer: yes. No-one whether Christian or not wants to be called Judas, just as no-one wants to be called a quisling today; let's just say that the name Judas has somewhat negative connotations: nobody wants to be called a traitor.
His name was Jude (or Judas (not Judas Iscariat, though!))
The real name of St. Jude is Judas, but he is also know as Thaddaeus. He is not the same Judas who betrayed Jesus, but was also an Apostle. He is called St. Jude by the Church so he is not associated with Judas Iscariot.

This Jude was the writer of the Letter of Jude in the New Testament, also known as Thaddeus meaning brave hearted, courageous. He was given this name to distinguish him from Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Jesus, and who was the exact opposite, not brave, courageous, or strong in his faith. See the discussion "Indication That Jude is Judas (not Iscariot) the Apostle".
It was always Judas. The other apostle named Jude actually has the same name in the Greek original. Why the translators created the distinction is open to interpretation.
