Struggling with a girls name, is calling a girl June nice of lazy! Honest opinions please.

I don't think it's a bad name.

Why would it be lazy? Baby due in June?

PlanetLizard · 01/02/2011 22:16

It's a nice name.

medoitmama · 01/02/2011 22:17

Nice, prefer May though.

nancythenaughtyfairy · 01/02/2011 22:34

June would make a nice middle name IMO.

Yes sorry, the baby is due in June!

Juno is classier imo.

I'm not keen on June, quite dated and not in an old lady chic way.

I like it.

I know what you mean about sounding lazy but, on the flip side, would you think a baby called June and born in December sounds odd?

If so, then a June born in June is perfect.

June is lovely. It's not lazy because it's not currently a common name, but it's due a comeback I think. Quite 1040s/50s. Has a nice sound

I like Juno too

and Joy

1940s

BeribbonedGibbon · 02/02/2011 14:04

June Whitfield.

HelenaRose · 02/02/2011 14:23

I have a good friend called June - dyed hair, pierced, tattooed, outspoken and noisy! Totally opposite thought to BeribbonedGibbon. Grin

MackerelOfFact · 02/02/2011 14:27

Love it. A really pretty name that hasn't yet made much of a comeback. I'd definitely use it for a June baby, no hesitation.

MackerelOfFact · 02/02/2011 14:28

Agree that Joy is lovely too.

JamieLeeCurtis · 02/02/2011 18:37

Gibbon - and your point is .......? Grin

Thanks ladies, still mulling it over. I've got a few months to go and I keep bouncing around the place with names. One minute I love it the next I don't..... Blah

Quit e nice.

But I prefer Jane.

blowbroth · 02/02/2011 19:17

My dd 's middle name is June after my Mum! I love it and have not come across another one.
My Mum was born in June too!

BeribbonedGibbon · 02/02/2011 19:35

I would look at the baby and see June Whitfield's head on it's tiny newborn body.

Rhubarbgarden · 02/02/2011 20:21

I like June. I also like April and May.

issy123 · 02/02/2011 20:25

There are sisters at DS's nursery their names are June and Jessica. Having seen a little girl with the name I think its lovely.

TCOB · 02/02/2011 20:29

I love June - beautiful, classic, different. Mind you, heartily biased in favour of months as names for I have a little May Smile. Joy is also gorgeous.

JamieLeeCurtis · 02/02/2011 20:33

Gibbon - I would look at a baby and see June Whitfield's twinkly eyes and big heart (not literal heart, that would be repulsive - a metaphorical one)

BeribbonedGibbon · 02/02/2011 21:14

for James

JamieLeeCurtis · 02/02/2011 22:37

see how her eyes shine !
