Such a shame that the vape ruined this name. I thinks it’s cool! But it’s definitely unusable, especially in America.

It's a nice dutch name, really. But it's not really one that is a good idea to use now, for obvious reasons.

Converted to IPA, it should be: /'jyl/ [noted -ed]

Cute and modern nickname for ‘Julia’, but sadly I don’t think it’s a viable name for a child due to the vape. How sad!

Y'all, quit talking about the Vape Pen! Also, to the person who said Juul is slang for Vape, that's inaccurate. Juul is a brand name. However, it is used as slang, much like Coke is a diminutive of the soda made by an Atlanta Company of the same name, but is also used as slang for all sodas. Especially by Southerners, aka Southern Americans (not South Americans). Or how AirPods is the Apple Inc. brand of wireless earbuds, but some people call all wireless earbuds AirPods as a slang term. But Juul, Coke & AirPods themselves are brands, not slangs. They're merely *used* as such.

To all the people saying it's like the e-cigarette brand, it's not pronounced like that, it's pronounced like if it were Yuul instead of Juul.

This is the name of an e-cigarette. This isn't something you'd want to call your kid.

Much as I love my Juul I wouldn't name my kid after it :)

It's not cuul to Juul in schuul.
- American hero.

It's an e-cigarette brand...

Hard pass.

It doesn’t sound good either way. It’s also the slang name of a vape pen.

A Juul is a barbaric type of vaping that can kill you. Let that sink in if you want to name your beautiful little girl Juul.

Can't believe this is a name.

Okay, but probably not the best name to have in the states for obvious reasons.
