You can't go for Juniper with your surname... far too much like Juniper Berry, IMO.

Flora and Caspar are my favourites.

Noooooo!

Yikes, Juniper P-e-r-r-y G-e-o-r-g-e is indeed a bit Juniper berryish!

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 22/11/2013 13:50

NO no no no no no no no no. NOOOOOOOOO!

I'd totally actually,made a frigging decision and everything!

I could change our surname..

Juniper G E O R G E is okay,right? Right?!

But even juniper berry isn't all that much of a problem is it?
I thought Ju-ju in particular would be a lovely short name

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 22/11/2013 13:56

It isn't,is it?!
It's fine...I mean...Juniper Berries are nice...and it's not actually Berry...soo...

Casper or Otis for a boy (prefer Otis) and Flora.

Good luck for the 6th :)

Never heard Ruis but love it!

Takingbackmonday · 22/11/2013 14:14

Juniper and Casper!

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 22/11/2013 14:22

I'm sure your DC names are much more perfect than mine PerfectPrincess
Why don't you share them so I can be enlightened by your wisdom?

Juniper P e r r y is fine

squoosh · 22/11/2013 14:25

It would be a very grey world indeed if we all stuck to ‘sensible’.

Clementine and Caspar for me.

bassingtonffrench · 22/11/2013 14:33

flora and ivy are not popular!

Flora and Caspar for me.

Like Ruis a lot also though.

squoosh · 22/11/2013 14:34

'Dont ruin their future career prospects.'

Confused
Fifibluebell · 22/11/2013 14:37

Seriously perfect princess are you Katie Hopkins? What dull/sensible name do you suggest that won't ruin future careers? Hmm

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 22/11/2013 15:04

Only 116 Flora's last year but i worry think its going to get more popular.

633 Ivy's! (There were 310 in 2011 and 220 in 2010 so it's climbing very fast)

Are you in England Frigg? (I too have been on lots of your threads but have NC!)

Flora is (I think) more popular in Scotland.

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 22/11/2013 15:15

Yes,in England.

I don't see Flora taking off down South, might be wrong though! Really love it and know a little one (her brother is Milo, which made me think it would go well with your Arlo).

AnnaConda · 22/11/2013 15:21

Flora
Caspar
