jury?

Today I overheard the following conversation.
Man: What's the little one's name?
Mom: Jury

Did I mishear her? Is there a name that sounds like "jury" or do you think she named her kid Jury? Either way, what do you think?

I know Judge is a name. My friend and I joked someone could name their three kids Judge, Jury, and Executioner, but the last one probably wouldn't go over too well. :)

She must have meant "Jerry". I do hope so. If my name were Jury I would go by Jerry.

It's probably Jury, I mean I know a kid named Rebel so why not?

I know a kid named Judge. He's quite the little delinquent and it makes me laugh.

It could have also been Jory, I knew a kid by that name.

My sister has a classmate named Chief Justice.

That is win and fail at the same time.

Win because it's a totally awesome law name.
(Win for you because of Cabot in your icon, who I looooove.)

Fail because our current Chief Justice in America sucks.

LOL, that's awesome!

Jory is a name, maybe that's what he said.

I don't even dislike that.

I think I know where the trouble lies.
Juri (also spelled Yuri) is a russian name that is also quite used in Italy.
Here it's pronounced YOU-ree, but I guess if someone were to read Juri in english, and to think a final y might just spice it up, there you go with a Law&Order baby

It wouldn't be bad if it weren't for the word/meaning.

probably juri which is russian as far as i know.

[serdyuchkafan.livejournal.com]

Probably.

It's Russian and Ukrainian :]

Spelled 'Юрий' in Russian, and 'Юрій' in Ukrainian, and usually as 'Juri', 'Yuri', 'Jurij', and 'Yuriy' with the latin alphabet.
