Juna is made up, sorry

Purplemonkeyandbananas · 15/12/2022 15:43

June is a month and June is made up. Sorry

Is Juna a real name, I've not heard it before? I'm not mad on June to be honest, although it seems to be mentioned on here a fair amount (because of Handmaid's Tale maybe?)
It just has a '1950s schoolgirl' vibe to me.

I'd prefer Jane or Jean, they seem more classic and time for a revival maybe. Or Julia, that's lovely.

Juna seems like the name of a fanny-pad brand that you might find at the supermarket when on holiday.

June

Juna is too much like tuna

My son has recently turned 18 months, he appears to be meeting milestones and developing ' typically' in many areas of development , yet Communication and Language I feel he's still very much ' emerging ' with. He gives good eye contact, smiles, and is beginning to understand simple instructions such as ' sit down' .." where's your head?' ' cuddle' & ' wave!' he will respond correctly yet....
He doesn't point to his wants/needs / tug on me. I'm a bit concerned with the lack of gesturing and he doesn't have many words beyond 'dadda' and humming to familiar songs.
Help!

June- lovely!

Gingersnappy · 13/12/2022 18:38

I prefer June to Juna
I prefer Juno over both. Juniper is nice too, but Juno is my favorite of the Jun- variants

RuthW · 13/12/2022 18:13

Juna. Never heard it before. It's lovely

2bazookas · 13/12/2022 15:59

Neither. June is dull, Juna sounds too like Junior.

I prefer Juno. It's a goddess name.

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 13/12/2022 15:55

Juniper
Juno
June
... then a long way afterwards
Juna (agree it sounds made up)

fairycupcakes · 13/12/2022 14:12

June. Beautiful :) Juniper and Junia also lovely x

Charlottie01 · 13/12/2022 13:30

June is a little too dated, I actually think Juna or Juno sound's so pretty! Juno sounds a bit more masculine and Juna more on the femme sphere.

IckleBear · 06/12/2020 20:25

Juna looks wrong and June is much prettier. Junie would be nice.

HeadlessGummyBears · 06/12/2020 20:15

I think June sounds much better than Juna. Juniper could also be another option?

DefinitelyMaybeBaby · 06/12/2020 16:48

I immediately thought of Tuna for Juna too so would definitely say June, although not everyone would agree but I do think baby needs to be born in the month of June for it to work really. I also like Juno or Juniper for a modern twist.

callistography · 06/12/2020 14:22

Juna is quite an old name in origin.

fourteen6 · 06/12/2020 13:38

I second the idea of Juniper! I think it's a lovely name and a bit different. Then you can shorten it to whatever you like without too much pressure if people/baby don't end up liking it - as it's only a nickname. Juna would work as a nickname too if you do like that. Initially I was 50/50 on Juna but now someone has said it's like Tuna, I can't unsee it 😂

CeeceeBloomingdale · 06/12/2020 13:32

Neither, Juno would be my pick

ivfbeenbusy · 06/12/2020 13:29

Juna sounds suspiciously made up? Which automatically makes it a bad choice sorry

callistography · 06/12/2020 13:17

I prefer June to Juna but Juno is, to me, a better variation. Beautiful classical goddess

Kokeshi123 · 06/12/2020 13:15

Juna is not bad but the simplicity of June is very nice.
I hate Juno, sorry. It sounds like a pet's name.

Changethetoner · 06/12/2020 01:38

Jane is nice.

june2007 · 05/12/2020 21:17

Junia yes Juna I have never heard of. June is ok.
