It's an OK name. It doesn't really have a wow factor for me. I prefer the Yuri spelling; Uri leaves too much room for "URIne" jokes. That's just my view.

In middle school, I had a class with a girl named Yuri (this spelling: feminine, Japanese "lily"; masculine, Russian/Ukrainian form of George). I'm not sure of her ethnic background, but, more generally, she was Latina.
