Given that the story of the battle of Jericho is essentially the story of a genocide, it is not a name I personally would choose to give a child. However, I must admit that the name does sound very cool. If it wasn’t for the Biblical story I would seriously consider giving it to a boy.

I don't understand why people downvote comments saying they like Jericho for a girl. Jericho is a place name, it's only recently started being used as a given name for people, it's not a well established name in the least, so as far as I'm concerned it's as suitable on girls as it is on boys, that is not at all. But you do you I guess.

My name is Jericho, and I'm a woman. As a kid I hated it, because kids thought I was named after the wrestler. Or they called me Jerk-o. Sometimes I'd be referred to as "The Wall". Now as an adult I absolutely LOVE my name. It's unique, and everybody loves it. Some people still stereotype me with "you have a boy's name", but mostly people tell me how unique it is; and how strong of a name it is. The meaning of the name is in 2 chronicles 28:15 Jericho; city of palm trees. The meaning means a lot of things. City of palm trees, city of the moon, and fragrance.

I like it but would never use it for a child because of one thing... I don't think it would take long for classmates to come up with a taunting of "Jericho the jerk-o"
Other than that, it sounds very cool and makes me think of an attractive, bad-ass type of male character who doesn't take crap from anybody.

I love this name, for a girl. The only other place I've come across it is for a female character in the book 'The Dream Merchant' by Isabel Hoving. Great book. Jericho was a fiesty, clever, loyal character, so I adore the name.

This is such a cool name for a guy! It sounds rather exotic and classy. I like the way it's spelled, too. I would consider this name for a boy if I ever have one someday!

Somehow this makes me think about a very masculine guy who is dumber than a box of rocks and acts like a jerk.
