Which would you prefer. I love both. We are not pregnant yet, just undergoing fertility treatment. Therefore Hope would be very apt. Also Juno as she is the goddess of marriage and fertility. We have a boys name picked which will be Cassius. Smile

Hope definitely - much more timeless and interesting, I think. Juno is very "of the moment".

Hope.

I think Juno has been spoiled by the film.

Thanks for all the advice, I think it's pretty divided and I still can't decide....hopefully it won't be a case of too much longer to decide, two years is enough Sad

There is no reaction as its a well knowen name.

She is very content child. She was very easy baby sleeped well and hardly cries. Is checky and laughts alot and genraly a pleasure to have.

Her full name is Hope Brynn Frances Goodwin so when we got her Christened the vicar called her the girl with all the names!

My sister thinks its a miles and boom name cos of our surname

I like the name and it suits her, she is normally called Hope Goodwin and i think it sounds nice.

also you cant shorten it and there is no bad nn or insults related to the name.

I like both (helpful! ) but LOVE Juno the film so would probably go fir that.
Howeve...if you were open to suggestions, Nadia also means hope and Mary means wished-for child.
Hope the treatment goes well x
