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?

I love it!

Jura is shaped like a boob though.

This made me laugh But I think the Paps of Jura would be more of a funny joke than a deal breaker for the name... I'm sure it'll give her a laugh when she's older! Reminds me of a trip I went on to Cairnpapple Hill - stone booby hill. We Scots are such a literary people.

I also love the suggestions of Sula and Afton.

I love it. The only Jura I know is a dog but that wouldn't put me off.

Loads of nice names in the Scottish islands.

I would think "juror".

I know 2 Russian boys called Jura. Not sure if its short for anything. They are nice kids though!

It is a really beautiful and underused name! Go for it!

I like it :)

Jura is also a lovely area in
Switzerland and France. (I grew up in Southern Germany so our parents often took us hiking/camping in the Jura hills...) There are also other regions called ....Jura in Germany.

It's also a (slightly colloquial but not disparaging) term for law in German. (Iura = Jura...)

Anyhow, I really like it :) it's a bit strange but also really lovely imo.

Love it, and it works for a boy too so I’d go for it either way!

I quite like it as a name, however dcat's name is Talisker so may be a bit biased.

I like it (and the whiskey). We have a nephew called Talisker :)

My coffee machine is called a Jura. It's very snazzy.

I like it!

Jurassic

It’s a départment of France, a bit like calling someone Surrey.

or Lorraine

Kent could be a child's name. Devon too.

I know two Devons - one a girl, one a boy

I think it's nice! I knew a (Japanese) woman who named her baby Hibiki. She was always so pleased that I remembered his name, and I never had the heart to say it was because of the whiskey.

or Lorraine

Even worse!

I like it, but my first thought is 'coffee machine'

I've taught one. Lovely girl and def no one called her durex or any such nonsense

Might spelling it Jurah feminise it a bit? I like it.

I quite like it but one of your previous posts suggests that you're in Scotland, so no. just no.

if it's a girl, it's like shoving a big sign on her back saying "bully me".

if she has wee tits some immature little gobshite will wind her up with it, and if she's of the Dolly Parton persuasion she's gubbed.

Just don't do it to her.

I like it but said out loud it's a bit too similar to 'durex'

I'm going to call my next cat Talisker

Twenty-cough years ago, I named my pedigree Birmans Jura (boy) and Tallisker (girl).

I like it but said out loud it's a bit too similar to durex

I thought "Durex" too...

Hound no? Only me?
