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.

plumviolet · 01/02/2011 22:35

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

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

plumviolet · 02/02/2011 18:40

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 !
