Girls name Zuri?

What do people think on the girls name Zuri? It's the first name I've found that I've actually really liked, been so fussy with girl names! I like names that are a bit different!

It is of African origin meaning 'beautiful' in Swahili, but we are white British, do you think people would find it strange if we named our daughter this?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think it's an issue choosing a name from another culture. People wouldn't find it weird if OP named her child Layla, Isaac or Mariam, so I don't see why Zuri is an issue!

I like the name, it's lovely!

I think it's lovely and doesn't sound made up.

I wouldn't raise an eyebrow at an African person with a British name or a white British person with an African name.

It's a pretty name.

I really liked this name for my daughter, she is half African tho.
I don't think you should name your white baby it lol
