Jura?

Just wondering what people think of Jura as a name for either boy or girl? Love the Scottish islands but Isla(y) is already popular and I'm not keen on Iona or Skye. I think of it as a boys name but DSis reckons ending in "a" makes it feminine...

Don't get Jura number one reference?

I think it's quite a pretty name!

There is a Russian name Yuri, which gets shortened to Yura.

That's a coffee machine make.

Like Jura number one? Not sure about that, but I guess if it's a local name that people are familiar with it wouldn't sound odd.

Lovely island but ugly name
