I have a Zara and know both an Emma and Juniper.
I like them all, Emma I'd say is a safe bet not commonly used now but a bit bland.
I really like Juniper, especially Juni for everyday, hadn't come across it at all until I'd met the one I know.
I like Zara but I'm not actually blown away by it, it just fitted as the type of name we needed.

Emma is beautiful and would have been my choice for a girl - that, or Rachel

A friend has sisters called Emma and Zara.
Love Emma, Zara is ok, Juniper sounds like a pet's name

Show quote history

I know sisters Juniper and Calypso (Juno and Callie) - just thought it might give the op another idea as she likes Juniper.

Sorry if it is so laughable 🤷‍♀️

Juniper

Emma's very boring.
Zara is nice.
I really like Juniper.

LonelyMom123 · 16/12/2023 17:47

Zara is nice. I grew up with a lot of Emma's and not keen on Juniper at all.

MaloneMeadow · 16/12/2023 17:46

Emma - pretty and classic
Zara is dated to me
Juniper is a fad

lindter · 16/12/2023 17:43

Zara or Juniper.

Juniper is my favourite (love Juni too).

NeverTrustASmilingCat · 16/12/2023 17:40

My daughter is Emma, so that's my vote 😁

Itneverrainsitpissesitdown · 16/12/2023 17:39

I love Emma, closely followed by Zara.

Juniper holds a special place in my heart as it reminds me of my dad playing the song Jennifer Juniper for me when I was little (I'm a Jennifer).

Persipan · 16/12/2023 17:38

Juniper is great!

EvlisPersley · 16/12/2023 17:38

Please don’t call a kid Juniper 🤦🏼‍♀️
The others are lovely

TheCountIsPale · 16/12/2023 17:37

Juniper! It’s gorgeous, unusual and sweet. Juno or Junie both beautiful.

Others are fine but a bit bland.

Nap1983 · 16/12/2023 17:37

Zara- love! If i had another girl would use
Emma- like, but a bit meh
Juniper- not my taste but defo not the most out there ive heard

MinervatheGreat · 16/12/2023 17:36

Zara!
Emma is outdated.
Juni? No!
My daughter’s dog is Juniper aka Juni.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 16/12/2023 17:34

Calypso nn Callie?

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 16/12/2023 17:34

I love Juniper - but Juno

SecondUsername4me · 16/12/2023 17:33

I prefer Juno to Juniper.

Zara is my favourite of your three.

Orangesarenottheonlyfruit · 16/12/2023 17:31

Zara is a clothes shop and Juniper is too weird for me.

Emma is a classic name and there are fewer and fewer young ones around.

fishfingersandtoes · 16/12/2023 17:03

I like Juniper, it reminds me of the song Jennifer juniper
Emma is really classic can't go wrong there
Zara is ok, but does remind me of the clothes shop and the minor royal.
At the end of the day though whichever name you choose will remind you of your child.

Not really heard of juniper but juni is a cute nickname. I really like it!
