What the answer
There were a couple of Judas in the bible, there is a Judas as well Judas Iscariot the disciple who betrayed Jesus Christ. The name appears about 11 times in the bible, it could have been a common name then, but not anymore now.
Actually, it was 12, as St. Peter chose a disciple to replace Judas Iscariot(St. Paul would later be Chosen By Christ to be the 12'Th Apostle). Most likely, a feeling of Great Holiness came upon the Apostles, when the Holy Spirit Came. Most likely, the same way the Prophets in the Old Testament would have felt when they also received the Holy Spirit.
