HelpWDYTO Jerusha?
I love this name. I've only met one Jerusha, an acquaintance that my daughter had about six or seven years ago. I remember feeling admiration for her parents for giving her such a beautiful, yet underused name.
It seems a lot of people find it too strange. Sometimes I feel that it sounds like it should be the name of one of the horrid kids in "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," but...no, I still love it.
What do you think of Jerusha?

I quite like it. I don't think it's because of the sound, but more because of the character in 'Daddy-Long-Legs'- she's kind of great. She was mostly known as Judy, but I think Jerusha is cooler.
I actually met a Jerusha a while ago but didn't really talk to her so no associations from her.

I love Jerusha
I've loved Jerusha for years, ever since I first heard it. I think it's a lovely, underused name.

It is the "ru" that makes it sound like a horrid kid. Veruca, Prudence, Rupert, Gertrude, Rudolf. Ru is an unfashionable sound right now but I love it. I also love Jerusha I find it very interesting, fun to say and hear, and generally delightful.

Ruby isn't harsh.
Not like Ruth, Rupert, Rudolph, Jerusha - they have a harsher sound than Ruby. Plus Ruby has always ranked - look at its' charts.
I do agree the RU sound isn't popular. It's unforunate, as my boyfriend tastes tend to run with what is popular and mine don't. I'd love a Ruth and Jerusha.

LOL about Jerusha sounding like it should be the name of a character in "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." I didn't realize that it was similar to Veruca until now. As far as the name goes, I don't care for the sound of it but I appreciate its unusualness. Your fascination with Jerusha reminds me of my liking of Ravenna. Sometimes it sounds dark and sinister and reminds me of "revenge", but I still find it beautiful. Same with Isis, which reminds me of "icy" and "icee." It's a lovely name though.
