Comments for the name Jewel

A famous bearer is the singer, Jewel.

Jewel is the name of the unicorn in "The Last Battle," the final volume of "The Chronicles of Narnia" series by C.S. Lewis.

I don't like it much. Ruby, Emerald, Amethyst, Topaz, Opal, Garnet, Pearl, etc. are much more interesting and specific than Jewel, plus it seems nickname-y because lots of girls I know named Julia are called Jules or Jule. Lastly I think it falls under the "tacky English word names" category along with Precious, Treasure, and Cherish. Gemma is much nicer.

Also means "Joy" although I can't remember where that meaning comes from.

This is my name and it is probably one of the best names out there. It tells me I'm worth something on my down days.

The actress Jewel Staite is a famous bearer.

My sister's name is Jeweliann. My mom liked "Julie," but wanted something different. Unfortunately, a lot of people pronounce it like "Julian."

There is a famous singer named Jewel Kiltcher.

There is nothing wrong with any name because they are mostly all unique and have their own meanings. Some names are very popular but not Jewel which makes it a special name.

My sister is a complete hippy so when she gave birth to a lovely girl the poor thing nearly ended up with the name Jewel Summer Rainbow Pearl. By themselves these names are o.k. I suppose but it's sort of cruel to give them all to a child like that. Her hubby and my mum weren't too pleased either so luckily the baby escaped with the name Keisha Jewel Isabella.

The modern French word for "jewel" is "bijou" and the English word is related to it by way of "juel", which most likely came from the Latin "jocale" and/or "jocus", meaning "pastime, sport," or "a thing which causes joy".

Jewel is the name of a grocery store.

In As I Lay Dying, by William Faulkner, Jewel Bundren is one of the (male) main characters.

I love this name, though that may be a bit biased seeing as it's my own name! I really like it because it makes me feel happy when people say my name, like I'm this special Jewel glowing in the dark and no one can put out my light, no matter how hard they try.

This name doesn't have a very pleasant sound, and it's actually pretty dull as a choice.

Jewel Osco, American grocery store.

Jewel McGowan was a dancer of Lindy Hop, a form of swing dance, in the 1940s and 1950s.

This name sounds nice on a girl, because it makes me think of jewels, as well as the singer. I can't picture this on a boy. It's too feminine.

I don't like this name. It's tacky.

Really ugly and tacky sounding.

I definitely think it can sound tacky, but I adore it for a middle name. It can bring elegance and femininity to a more unisex name, which I'm into for girls.

In the movie, Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, there is a character named Jewel, who is the murderess of her husband.

I didn't know this was masculine as well. It seems much more feminine to me.

A famous bearer is Jewel Belair Staite, who starred as Kaywinnit Lee 'Kaylee' Frye in the short lived sci fi series Firefly.

Might also originate from the English word "Jewel" which is derived from Jewelry. Like, precious stones and stuff.

I can't picture this as a female name thanks to Jewel Bundren from "As I Lay Dying." Not even the overrated singer can make it feminine in my eyes, it's ALL boy.

I think this name have a cool rock star feel to it. Also this is nowhere close as tacky as treasure. At least this sounds like a real name and is unique. anyways the name Gemma sucks. it's like Emma with a G.

Tacky and ghetto! Go with Julia instead! Or if you want a gem name, maybe Ruby?
