Wanting honest opinions on this name or whether my growing interest and consideration of this name for a potential girls name is the pregnancy hormones gone wild.
Appreciate it's not a very common name (UK based) and may be a bit out there for some but I really like the way it sounds and love the possible nicknames that come with it.

Any other pretty J girl name suggestions also welcome! Without intending we've set up a trend of J names in our family and am now feeling that it would be nice to continue the trend for this one so they're not the odd one out. Don't know if is a boy or a girl. Have loads of possible J names for boys but have used up the only other J name I really liked on my daughter already. I like June/Juno but prefer to have as nicknames and have something longer as full name.

I love Jennifer Juniper

Whatsyourflava · 24/07/2020 22:16

Juniper is nice. I also prefer Juno though

Personally don't love Juniper but its certainly not a wild choice. Pp suggested some other nice, long J names. How about Jocelyn?

Sweet, I used to know a Japanese woman called Juniper, who was absolutely lovely, so I'd use it happily.

Gobolino80 · 24/07/2020 22:11

I like it, but prefer Juno.

I do think it's sweet, but I agree about the nipper bit. It doesn't sound great unfortunately.

Same sound, but different letter - what about Genevieve?

CoddledAsAMommet · 24/07/2020 22:07

I want to like it, but actually hear Juniper: Nipper of Jews.
Which is unfortunate as it should be very pretty.

DramaAlpaca · 24/07/2020 22:05

I much prefer Juno or June.

I know a toddler Juniper. Her nns are Junie and Junebug.

I prefer June or Juno. I don’t like the ‘nipper’ sound.
