How weird is this name? But I love it!

[WHAT91]

OK, I know it's 'unusual' to say the least but I absolutely love the name Jura for a girl. I'm 33 weeks pregnant and am trying to gather names. So far, I'm unisinpired but my dp and I love the name Jura (we love the island itself and the whisky ).

So what I'm asking is, if you met a baby Jura, would you think weird or nice?

Both

I would think it’s nice.

Nice. If you're not in Scotland people are unlikely to refer to Paps!

I just think of Whisky. How about Iona? Kira is a fabulous malt though

*Jura

Jura would be a boys name surely?

I think it's rather nice. But I'd worry about people thinking "juror".

I'm not keen, it sounds like juror in most English accents.

Sula is nice instead.

Thanks guys. It's good to hear different views. Other Scottish islands are an option but there's something about Jura that sticks out to me. This could be pointless as it could be a wee boy!

Sounds likes Jorah from GoT. Which I love! I’d use it.

Just not Muck !!!

I like it. Its unusual, but still sounds like a proper name.

I have a cousin called Afton if you are looking for a scottish name. The River Afton is a Scottish river and Robert Burns wrote a poem about it x

Weird, like juror.

I like it.

I do like jura x

It doesn't sound like a proper name to me. Have you considered Glenlivet? Macallan? Famous Grouse?

GorgonLondon more of a Laphroaig gal myself

It's also a mountainous region of France. It's a masculine word in French. I think it's quite pretty for a girl though.

It's a mountain range which I can see from my garden. I like it.

I really like Jura, it' a name that's grown on me. If other island names can be used why not this one. I am sure it has been used as a girls name, if you look at the official list.

I think I love it...

I think it's great.

Also Alba or Alban. Harris. Iona. Innes. Mhairi.

Just some random Scottish names for you
