Sister for Juno

We're really struggling to find a name for second daughter, firstborn is called Juno Carolina (after the US state).

Options we're currently considering are:

Teddy (as in Theodora but we'd call her just Teddy)
Iona (my fav but too Scottish for DH)
Marlowe (DH fav, I really like it but it might be just too out there for me)
Scarlett
Madeleine (but don't want her to be Maddie/Mads)

Any other suggestions?

From your list I think Theodora nn Teddy would go really well with Juno, plus having the longer name gives her a choice of names when she’s older.

Other suggestions:
Clementine
Dorothea
Miranda
Rosalie
Elspeth
Delilah
Violet
Wren
Iris

Love the suggestions of Anais and Gaia.

Can I add Cassia to the list of options

From your list I think Scarlett goes best. Definitely not Teddy. I would hate to be a middle aged professional woman called Teddy.

Of pp’s suggestions, Artemis and Minerva are beautiful. I also like Flora, which goes very well with Juno.

Iona is nice and fits well with Juno. Similar to June in both dad sound and vibe but by no means too similar that you couldn't you use them as A sibset.
It's strange that you say Teddie because before I opened your thread in was going to suggest Thea.
I don't like Scarlett but I'm liking it with Juno.
If you don't like Maddie or Mads don't use Madeleine.
I like Marlowe but I wouldn't put it with Juno.

From your list I would choose Teddy/Theodora, Iona or Scarlett.
I would avoid 2 'o' ending names, so not Marlowe, and Madeleine, though nice enough, seems a bit ordinary next to the more interesting Juno.

Oh God if we are going to get into the myths, that's another thing about Athena. Her birth story and illustrations give me the boak...but, I might be weird.

duploid · 24/01/2021 21:35

Omg definitely not Hera - that's the Greek counterpart to the Roman Juno

ParisJeTAime · 24/01/2021 21:30

I have seen Artemis and Athena mentioned a lot lately. Wonder if they are going to become quote trendy soon!

My first though is always Artemis from Always Sunny and the 90s poster shop, Athena!

Anya? Cleo?

sadpapercourtesan · 24/01/2021 21:27

@SandysMam Artemis is awesome. Could have Artie or Missy as little girl nicknames too Grin

SandysMam · 24/01/2021 21:25

I said it on another thread but my favourite girls name at the moment is Artemis!

daisypond · 24/01/2021 21:24

@OhCaptain
I’m not too keen on them either, though I like Xenia, but I’m trying to come up with ones that might fit with the OP’s ideas of nice.

ParisJeTAime · 24/01/2021 21:23

I'd go with Teddy! It's lovely.

Iona is nice too.

Madeleine, Scarlett and Marlowe..meh. Bit blah tbh. I know they aren't super common names, but I don't think they match Juno in terms of interest.

Suggestions:

Luna
Winter
Mabel
Maple
Penelope
Thea
Willa
Verity
Nancy
Nell

OhCaptain · 24/01/2021 21:21

@daisypond

I’m not sure those names go. Marlowe isn’t very nice at all. Theodora is good, but I don’t like Teddy. Scarlett is OK but a very different style. Madeleine is very different too.

Xenia
Irene
Penelope

These are horrible!

DotDotDotDotDot · 24/01/2021 20:55

Maybe not Hera actually, just remembered the meaning is the same/similar as Juno.

DotDotDotDotDot · 24/01/2021 20:53

Ines, Zoe, Iris, Violet, Ariadne, Hera, Skye?
