Juniper for a girl?

It just popped into my head the other day and I think I've fallen in love. I like the fact that it sounds sweet but headstrong at the same time. I posted a thread a while ago with some of my more...interesting...ideas, and even after that, Atticus is still my favourite boy's name. I think they sound great together, but, this being MN, now's your opportunity to prove me wrong. MNs are still under consideration, but ask and you shall recieve.

Yes, Aramis is elegant compared to Smirnoff.

Faint praise indeed.

Fair enough, I can't say I'm a gin drinker myself so I've never had the connotation. I really don't think Atticus is too "try-hard", it's quite a classic name, without being too usual. To me, "try-hard" would be something like "Romulus Caesar Aurelius Saxon Windsor Beowulf Galileo Leonardo Swizzle-Bottom" IYSWIM.

I take your point about Atticus, but I beg to differ, besides, I've toned down the MNs considerably so it's not so "try-hard". Aramis is an aftershave, yes, but also a musketeer. If people can call their DC's Chanel and Smirnoff, then I think Aramis is pretty elegant.

I like Juniper. Atticus is a bit right-on lefty try-hard, though.

Oh, and some opinions on Aramis as a MN (for a girl) would be helpful as well. I know it's unusual, but I love it.

I like all of them, maybe June the least, but it does remind me of June Carter, so that's a good thing.

I like it, what do you think of the nn Juno, Juni and June though?
