For a boy or girl?

It reminds of this song (and I wouldn't be able to stop myself singing it to them)

Mumofgirls2017 · 22/10/2024 21:45

Absolutely love it 😊

Georgie743 · 22/10/2024 21:42

Love it! And love all the nickname options - Juni, Juno, June.

StressedQueen · 22/10/2024 21:41

So pretty in my opinion!

Moreteaandchocolate · 22/10/2024 21:14

I agree with the pp’s “middle class but artsy” description above! I do love Junie though - June nn Junie maybe?

shoopshoopdedoo · 22/10/2024 21:06

Hmm. Honestly, it seems like one of South East London’s favourite middle-class-but-artsy names. It does sound quite nice and the toddlers I’ve met are cute. But I’d personally avoid it.

Firsttimebabymummy · 22/10/2024 21:06

It's not one of my favourites but I like it

Prefer June

I worked with a Juniper, she was known as Juni. I think that’s quite nice as a shortening.

Juniper berries smell a bit funky - like pickles and alcohol. Why name a child that?

Juno is a lovely name. But I know two dogs and a duck called Juno…

I do like it, but the 'nipper' sound does put me off.

Pinkruler · 22/10/2024 20:50

I like it - nn June.
This is the name of a character in Yellowface tho - not a v sympathetic character.

EvelynBeatrice · 22/10/2024 20:48

I like it. Nice abbreviations too.

I’m not keen on Ginnie which is used as an abbreviation for vagina in some quarters!

RareMaker · 22/10/2024 20:48

My cats name

motleymop · 22/10/2024 20:47

I think it's an odd name for a human.

urbanbuddha · 22/10/2024 20:47

I like it.

Comedycook · 22/10/2024 20:47

Try hard

Mum5net · 22/10/2024 20:47

Ginnie would be better

Ellmau · 22/10/2024 20:46

I'm not keen.

NoKnickerElastic · 22/10/2024 20:46

Please don't. What about Juno?

ToffeeForEveryone · 22/10/2024 20:46

Lovely
