My favourite out of the first names is Delilah, it's really pretty. Then I love Juliet and I'm not as keen on Emilia and Natalie so they're out.

From middle names, Delilah Isabelle is just beautiful even though I like the idea of June considering her birth month! Juliet Harper I'm not as keen on but I also like Juliet Isabelle so one of those two pairings.

They all go really well with Brown in my opinion

@Luredbyapomegranate , she was a well-known actress in an extremely popular soap opera for 35 years.

Luredbyapomegranate · 20/05/2023 10:21

Honestly I don’t think so, she was a minor actress increasingly long dead, people forget

Also I do think June is due a revival

Props to your triv knowledge tho

June is a favourite name of mine and a family name and will be the middle name should I be blessed with a baby girl, it’s beautiful and the woman it honours for me is a formidable one. I’m saying nothing about the name itself but with surname brown I just wouldn’t. Differences of opinion.

True I won’t be a peer of a baby born this year but nor am I an eastenders fan or over 70, I was born in the 90s 😂 June Brown was around a long long time so I’d assume most people who don’t live in the wilderness are aware of her in the UK 😂 This child’s future teachers, bosses, employers etc will all be aware so we are just pointing that out to the OP. Clearly we weren’t the only ones to make the connection.

Who the bloody hell is going to remember that? None of her peers, and no one outside the over 70s EE fan club..

I like Juliet June. JJ..

Theoldwoman · 20/05/2023 01:54

I’m not sure we would be on the same page as Ben Brown doesn’t go together imo but you thought do.

Anyway, I love Juliet.

Crikeyalmighty · 19/05/2023 22:12

Juliet Harper- awfully posh !! Like it

Harper is very much not-posh

Luredbyapomegranate · 20/05/2023 01:52

fairycupcakes · 19/05/2023 22:32

First thing I thought too!

Juliet Isabel

Although I like June so June Isabel too

Emilia has been done to death, Delilah is a bit ditsy, and Nathalie I think is quite harsh - although Natalia is nice

fairycupcakes · 19/05/2023 22:36

Juliet or Natalie for the first name would really stand out! Juliet is so pretty.

I love the name June but June Brown would be very reminiscent of Dot Cotton which you probably don’t want?

So on that basis Juliet Emilia Brown or
Natalie Delilah Brown :)

fairycupcakes · 19/05/2023 22:32

Sexisthairdressers · 19/05/2023 03:59

June Brown was the woman who played Dot Cotton in Eastenders. Maybe avoid that?

First thing I thought too!

BrutusMcDogface · 19/05/2023 22:11

Junie! I love it!

June Brown did play Dot Cotton but I don’t think that would be a massive problem for someone born in 2023 🤷🏻‍♀️

June Emilia Brown?

FrownPrincess · 19/05/2023 22:08

Emilia Juliet Brown

sandrene · 19/05/2023 21:43

Oh I love Natalie June!
Dislike Delilah (seems a bit try hard/over the top) and Harper (not a nice sound to me). Emilia is lovely but Natalie will stand out as much more original these days. Adore the middle name June!

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 19/05/2023 19:43

I also thought you were going for Junie as a nickname (which is fab), and thought Juliet Natalie would be a great full name for Junie.

Dazedandbemused0 · 19/05/2023 14:01

100% Juliet! By a long shot. Beautiful.

KirstenBlest · 19/05/2023 10:34

If you are calling her Junie then put that or June on the birth certificate.

June Dorothy Cotton Brown

PickledScrump · 19/05/2023 09:13

I thought you were going with June/Junie as a first name and thought that was really lovely and unusual. Personally I’d go June Isabelle brown. But out of your options Emilia will get mistaken for the super popular Amelia and Natalie is quite dated. Juliet is beautiful but not keen on harper.

Delilah June is beautiful so I’d go with that one.

shoopshoopdedoo · 19/05/2023 07:01

I like Delilah June. Also love Junie…

user1492757084 · 19/05/2023 06:05

My preferences ..
Juliet Harper Brown 10/10
Natalie Harper Brown 10/10
Emilia Harper Brown 9/10
Lila Isabelle Brown 10/10

I dislike the sound of June Brown and I dislike Delilah.
Emilia is too iii with Isabelle and Emilia will date, I think.

AutumnNymph · 19/05/2023 05:53

Emilia Isabelle Brown.
I also like how Emilia Isabella Brown flows.
