Similar to Juniper?

Nameqnameq · 23/08/2020 17:57

Looking for a 3 syllable name that can be nicknamed with an “y”/ “I” ending. I love Juniper - Juni for short - but I can’t use it because a close friend has.

Can anyone recommend anything similar?

I like the 3 syllable long name and 2 syllable “I” ending nickname as it’ll go really well with a sibling name.

Use the name that you love. Your friend will get over it.

Not three syllables I’m afraid but I think with a similar vibe to Juniper:

Jonquil (Joni)
Juno (Juni)

But honestly if you love Juniper and you can’t get past it then talk to your friend about using it too rather than choosing a name that you love less.
