That's not true. My friend's name is Bijou and she was born in France. Perhaps it is just an odd name. I'm not very fond of it. Reminds me of "Bijou Briggite".

I like the name Bijou. Michelle Phillips, one of the members of that singing group "The Mamas and the Papas" has a daughter named Bijou.

Bijou Lily Phillips is not the daughter of Michelle Phillips. She is the daughter of John Phillips and his third wife, Genevieve Waite.

Heiress Bijou Phillips who was formerly seeing Sean Lennon and dated Danny Matterson from that 70's show.

I've seen it Bijoux as well. I like it with the X.

The name is used as slang for male genitals. It is just like when people call genitalia "family jewels" in an English speaking country.

Yes, maybe--to the above commenter--but look at it this way: There are people called Jewel, right? Or even worse, Jules. And no one, at least I don't, think of that.

There's a girl hamster named Bijou in the tv-series "Hamtaro".

Bijou is my first name, unfortunately no one can ever remember how to pronounce it or how to spell it. Most of my friends call me "Bee" simply because they can't learn to pronounce it.

To me, this appears to be one of those names parents pick because they think it sounds glamorous and sophisticated, but it's actually quite corny and cutesy, and it sounds very corny to those who understand the word, and many people who can't speak French do. I can't speak French, but I did study it years ago, so I'd say it isn't a very serious name.

I just think of the aforementioned hamster, or a prissy poodle. Not so much for a person, though people are always welcome to it.

I immediately think of the hamster from Hamtaro, and Bijou Phillips isn't that great of an association. It also looks like something that would be suited to a poodle.

This is a silly name in French speaking countries and a pretentious one in others.
