Jules - help, boy or girl?

[WreckOfTheHesperus]

Just found out that a friend has given birth to Jules....didn't like to ask whether it's a boy or a girl - any thoughts? She is Belgian.

I would guess boy. Where are our Belgian MNetters?

Male.

Boy! 'tis my BIL's name (prn. zule)

erm, actually, maybe not zule. Been away from other english speakers too long. Rhymes with YULE...

If Belgian, then boy.

I think it's perfect for a girl though

I know one of each, but if Belgian would guess a boy.

I would say boy-assuming that´s the "proper" name.

If nn, it could be either!

Boy if they are Francophone.

Anybody's guess if they are English!

I would assume boy!
I love it as a nn for Julius or Julian!

I only know males named Jules, so I'd say boy!

Jules Verne....great sci fi male writer so for that reason i would day male....GREAT choice of name....

Thanks folks; looks like it's a unanimous vote for male - may even risk a boy congrats card

I would say boy. Julius is on our shortlist!

I usually think boy.

Isn't Jamie Olivers other half Jules? What is that short for?

Boy.

Have heard Jules as nn for Julie.

I think i would have guessed girl!

Boy

Nigel is nice too

Jules Oliver is nn for Juliet
