Flora and Otis

I also really like Clementine and Caspar but I don't think they go as well with sibs and surname.

I like Flora or Dulcie. Clementine with your surname is insanely long and doesn't really go with your other names. I do like Juniper, but prefer Juno?

Asa for a boy. I just love it.

I'm sure a celeb had a baby boy Zephyr recently, can't quite remember who though.

I am going to keep saying that Zephyr is a girl's name. And that even for a girl, a name meaning a soft warm breeze is a bit much. For a 6ft rugby player..........

But also think Zephyr and Flora would work.

Sorry but with your surname Juniper ends up sounding like 'Juniper berry George'. That would definitely take that name out of the equation for me.

With your other two DC's names, i'd go for:
Clementine
Asa

Juniper immediately makes me think of the smell of gin. Imagine a little gin-smelling baby!

No no no

Flora smells of margarine. Again, just no.

No no no to Zephyr or Caspar. They make me feel funny for some inexplicable reason.

Clementine also makes me feel funny, but that is because, in my mind, it would be shortened to 'Clem', which makes me think of 'phlegm'.

I realise I may be the only one who thinks like this Grin

What about juniper acacia ?

Zephyr Asa Ruis and Zephyr Caspar Ruis are both fab!


You're right about Paccia,I hadn't thought...another one off the list is good,though!

Paccia makes Juniper and your surname very 'peter piper picked...'. Love Mabel as a mn (and actually as a name altogether but don't want to put the at amongst the pigeons!)

Agree Zephyr Ruis blends, and Zephyr Otis Ruis makes the two mn's too similar-

What about
Zephyr Asa Ruis
Zephyr Milo Ruis
Zephyr Caspar Ruis

Report
UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 23/11/2013 10:14

I really want to keep Ruis in there as a MN I think...I love the meaning.

Zephyr Ruis?
Or does it need another name in between them to stop them blending together?

Juniper Ivy
Juniper Flora
Juniper Paccia (Pash-ee-a meaning peace)
Juniper Mabel
