Comments for the name Jules (2)

A famous bearer of this name is TV personality Jules Asner.

I have heard it as a nickname for Juliet/Juliette also.

Jules was a character´s name in the movie Bend It Like Beckham. She was played by Keira Knightley.

Also short for the guy's name, Julian.

Famous bearer is the "Naked Chef" and school meals crusader Jamie Oliver's wife Jules.

This is also used as a nickname for Juliana. I suppose it could be used for any name beginning with "Jul-".

Please have the sense NOT to name your daughter Jules. Name her Julia, Julie, Juliet, Julianne, or something like that, and just call her Jules. This name is far too masculine for females.

I am called this from time to time (my name is Julianna.) And it's always said, never written.

I don't know if this counts as a famous bearer, but the Beatles song Hey Jude was supposed to be Hey Jules, after John Lennon's son Julian. However, Mccartney thought Hey Jules was going to be too hard to sing, so they changed to Hey Jude.

Jules was a character in the Vampire Diaries.

I think this name is so darling. It also is edgy and trendy. Jules reminds me of a confident, smart, witty, clever and quirky girl. But I like this as a nickname for "Julia".
