I voted yes. I think it'd be cute for a girl. It reminds me of the movie Coyote Ugly and the one girl's nickname was Jersey. It's not a bad reminder either because I really like this movie.

I don't mean for this to sound rude, but my first thought was, "Like the cow or like the state?" followed by "Or a football jersey?" I personally wouldn't want to name my baby girl after any of those things. Of course, that's JMHO, and if you love it, go for it.

Some other names you might like...
Journey
Jaycee
Jessica/Jessie
Jordan
Jasmine
Dakota
Brianna
Jessalyn

Good luck making a decision!

place names are cool. for example i really like Brooklyn or Savanna but Jersey brings to mind a type of cow.
just my opinion

I'm afraid she'd be teased about being a cow.

Not sure where you're from, but I'm in the Northeast (Boston) and there are a lot of jokes about (New) Jersey - - like "You from Jaw-sey? What exit?" I think a name like that would limit her career plans. A lot of roads lead to New York, and it would just look odd at the top of a resume.

I dont like it either, sorry. Isn't the girls name from Coyote Ugly not really Jersey? I think it's the nickname she gets cause that's where she is from. It's her 'while dancing on bar tops' alias.
