I'd like it, if it weren't for Bijou Phillips.

Could you supply a pronounciation and origin?

[heather80.livejournal.com]

bee-joo. But the j is soft, like taj mahal, not hard like jump. And it means kiss in French.

Actually, 'bisou' means 'kiss' in French, 'bijou' means 'jewel'. I agree they are close though.

[heather80.livejournal.com]

You're right, hehe. It's been a while since I took French :).

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, same for me. I had to check to be sure of myself ;)

i like it :) although it makes me think of the character from Hamtaro if anyone remembers that kids show from a few years back, I'm kind of ashamed that I do.

Hahaha, me too =)

I don't hate it or anything, but it kind of reminds me of a noise a toy laser gun would make.

LMAO!! i was making that sound in my head!! haahahaahahah!

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

It's supposed to be pronounced Beez-you, right?

I'm not a fan. It just screams 'jewelry!' to me.

bee-joo
the j maing a sound like the grench start of Genevieve, don't really know how to pronounce it.

Bijou Phillips springs to mind too, as does the trendy nightclub.

I don't like it.

[babykalina.livejournal.com]

I don't like it as a name at all. It just looks like somebody trying to write in French that doesn't know how to spell bijoux correctly.

I kind of like it. My grandfathers best friend was named Bijou. He was from India. I think I like it more on a girl though.
