Jura?

[Rollersara]

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...

Scotch whisky!!

Did u ever use this name?

We considered Jura for DD

But then I also had Talisker at the top of the list if she'd been a boy....

I didn't use the name in the end - DC2 turned out to be a boy and has a more traditional Scottish name :)

What about Rona?

I've met a woman called Tiree before. Never realised it was the name of an island.

My 13 Week old black lab is called Jura and she suits her name. Everyone we have met also loves her name and say it is very unusal and very Scottish. (We live in Scotland) and wanted a name that was both Scottish but away from the typical scottish names that we didnt mind shouting in the park. Jura it was!!

It's a lovely name for a dog. Reminds me of mountain ranges though so I wouldn't use it on a child.

I've never come across Jura as a name, but actually I quite like it.

I'm from Oban, don't call a baby Oban, please, it's not a nice name...neither is Kerrera - and nobody pronounces that one correctly just from reading it either.

I know an Eilean, that's a nice name, unnusual, but pretty.

I know a little Jura (girl) - not in Scotland but the Mum is Scottish. Gorgeous name and no problems understanding its origin or spelling.
