I recently met a little girl called Junia. I admit at first I thought I was hearing 'Junior' which I don't particularly like and wouldn't think suited a girl but then I saw her name written down as Junia. I'd not heard the name before but although it's very uncommon it is an old Latin/ Roman name and not completely made up.
Anyway, somehow being able to see the name Junia in my head rather than Junior made me hear the name in a completely different way and I have now really fallen in love with it and I also love the nickname Juni. I am pregnant with DC3 and would love it to be on our girl's shortlist but, although DH also likes it, he is worried about people assuming baby's name is Junior.
Just wondering what other people think of the name and whether they would get past the fact it sounds like Junior?
