Opinions on Juno?

I think it’s elegant while being spunky and would balance it out with a very feminine middle name like Evangeline or Isadora. What do you think?

Juno is a great name! Though I don't love Evangeline or Isadora I do think Juno Evangeline works.

I'm not familiar with the name Juno (therefore any classical origins of the name) but as a Spanish speaker I'd assumed it to be a boy's name Blush

@umpteenpinecones the canine Juno closest to us is an absolute maniac of a dog too - which is odd because I find it such a serene sounding name!

I didn’t realise how much of a dog name it was! The dogs I know mostly have names that end in ie- Lottie, Millie, Nellie. Oh and Dave- my mum’s lovely lab Grin

I do know a Great Dane with that name but I also know dogs with human names so it doesn’t really matter lol

MrsFoxPlus4 · 05/01/2019 23:21

I like Juno don’t find it pretentious at all. Don’t like either middle names if I had to choose I’d choose Evangeline

llangennith · 05/01/2019 23:21

Isn't it a film? And a magazine for parents?

WhatASmashingBlouse · 05/01/2019 23:18

I love Juno Evangeline! Both names on my list too

riotlady · 05/01/2019 23:17

Love it!

umpteenpinecones · 05/01/2019 23:10

It is my neighbour's dog's name. A bonkers labradoodle. So sorry, but that name just makes me think of the dog who is, quite frankly, a basket case.

MitziK · 05/01/2019 23:09

If you like 'v' names, what about Juno Minerva?

Keeps it within the same historical belief system.

LovelyBranches · 05/01/2019 23:08

I love the name. It was on my list but DH wasn’t keen. If we were ever to have another dd I would almost certainly push for her to be called Juno

mammmamia · 05/01/2019 23:05

I love Juno Evangeline. I loved that film too.

Jorgezaunders · 05/01/2019 23:05

Good strong classic name. I like it paired with Evangeline: you get strong + pretty that way.

TigerDroveAgain · 05/01/2019 23:04

Juno, queen of the gods.

Nah - don’t like it

Ribbonsonabox · 05/01/2019 23:03

I think it's a lovely and elegant sounding name

PoesyCherish · 05/01/2019 23:02

Ps personally for me reminding me of the film is a good thing. I think Juno turned out to be a great kid in the end, sure she made some bad choices (getting pregnant, then becoming attracted to a married man) but personally I loved her by the end of it.

PoesyCherish · 05/01/2019 23:01

I love Juno and agree it's spunky. Reminds me of the girl from the film Smile

DramaAlpaca · 05/01/2019 23:00

I love Juno Evangeline.

Rodenhide · 05/01/2019 23:00

I don't mind the name but would always associate it with the film about teenage pregnancy, though that's simply because I've never heard it anywho else.

Namedrama · 05/01/2019 22:59

What about Juniper nn Juno? It gives her options. I think it’s a sweet name.

RedDwarves · 05/01/2019 22:58

I love Juno.

But I would go for something far more classic (than Evangeline or Isadora, that is) as a middle name, because Juno is quite different. Elizabeth, Alexandra, Madeleine, Lillian, Sarah, Sophia etc.

FlamingJuno · 05/01/2019 22:57

Great name Wink

WrapAndRoll · 05/01/2019 22:55

It's nice and either of the middle names would go well. I really like Juno Evangeline.

WildCherryBlossom · 05/01/2019 21:50

I love the sound of Juno. Juno Isadora would be my preference. I dislike the "vange" bit of Evangeline.
