Thoughts for a girl. After the Scottish Island (and whisky made there). We are Scottish Smile

I'm all for island names, but call her Skye or Iona or Shuna or Rona, all far nicer than Jura!

It's beautiful. I want to steal it!
If I could make it an Irish connection I would!

I like it I also know a wee boy called Tiree

harrietm87 · 30/03/2018 15:08

I like it but did immediately think of the whisky!

I think today most people will see you as Game of Thrones fans. I don't know it was whiskey!

Ooh no, if she's busty everyone will go on about the paps of Jura, my old friend got that all the time and she just lived there. It's also a pretty ugly name for a girl - sorry.

I assumed for a boy, and I didn't much like it when I thought that. Definitely not for a girl.

I like it! My first thought was Game of Thrones too, but I don’t see why that should put you off. He’s a great character.

Makes me think of the recent jury service I did and being called 'jura' number 4. It's unique for sure!

Heismyopendoor · 30/03/2018 23:20

My friends dog is called Jura, I actually really like it. But then my kids are all Scottish place names :)

RavenWings · 30/03/2018 23:39

Region in France. I'm ok with it though as a name, but just ok. It definitely doesn't wow me.

I quite like it, but then I also liked Gigha if we ever had a girl (we didnt’), so what do I know Grin

Beeziekn33ze · 31/03/2018 21:22

So many other, lovelier place names in Scotland.

MadMaryBoddington · 01/04/2018 23:15

Love it.
