Juniper

We are fairly set on Juniper if this bump turns into a girl. Probably Juno for short but well aware she may get June, Juni, June-bug etc. and fine with all of those.

What do people think? And any middle name suggestions that go nicely?

Thanks!

Not really a fan and for some reason it reminds me on the planet Jupiter, but I love Juno as a nn

Love it, and love 'nippy' as nn

NewPantsforaNewYear · 04/04/2017 22:22

I like it. Reminds me of the song Jennifer Juniper.

How about Juniper Eve?

Mclaren37 · 04/04/2017 22:14

Love it.

Juniper Louise

I think it's beautiful.
Maybe Juniper Joy and an extra nickname possibility of JJ.

CakeRattleandRoll · 04/04/2017 15:03

Really like it.

*im personal o (shoot, my comment is a mess. I shouldn't be on mumsnet when I'm taking the train to work...) Oops.

BikeRunSki · 04/04/2017 07:23

I like it, and would pair it with a more mainstream middle name. Your suggestions of Anne or Alice are lovely.

HerRoyalNotness · 04/04/2017 07:13

Juniper willow

SuperBeagle · 04/04/2017 07:12

I don't like it at all. Also don't like Juno.

But June is nice enough, with Junie as a nickname.

OvariesForgotHerPassword · 04/04/2017 07:10

I love it!

ClaryBeanHorshAndMe · 04/04/2017 07:05

Nippy! Nipes? Idk, that would be really adorable imo :)

Anyhow... I personally think Juno has th edge, but only by a tiny little margin, both names are really lovely.

But Juniper Alice is gorgeous imo. I also like Juniper Ann, but Ann is im personaly o a bit of a "filler name" if it's used as a middle one (a bit like Grace or Rose, tbh). Which is why I prefer Juniper Alice.

Congratulations :) Flowers !

I'm happy to see it's broadly liked! I actually like Nipper etc. as well, cute!
No problems with the gin connection. I love gin.

Thanks for the middle name suggestions. I love Ann and Alice.

Awful and sounds like Jupiter.

frums · 03/04/2017 22:20

My daughter has a friend called Juniper nn Juna. It's sweet. I too think of Gin but that association just made me chuckle and then I forgot it.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 03/04/2017 22:16

I love Juniper. Definitely use it.

cailyaclara · 03/04/2017 22:14

I love the name Juniper and would have paired it with Blythe if my hubby had let me!!

grumpysquash3 · 03/04/2017 22:05

I would think Gin too, but I think that's ok as Gin is a nice drink. It's not the same as Chardonnay/Chablis/Martini/Bayley

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 03/04/2017 21:54

It's not something I would ever use but I'd think it was a nice sweet name if I ever met a little girl called that. I can't quite picture an adult female with that name though.
