Delphi or Juniper?

[JanuaryJuniper]

Which do you prefer and which works best with siblings Eli and Aphra? (Not yet pregnant but going to start ttc shortly)

My criteria tends to be not hugely popular but not batshit crazy either, I think these fit!

Delphi, Juniper doesn't really sound like a name.

Delphi is gorgeous.

I don't love Juniper but do love a few of it's potential nicknames.

I don't see Juniper as a name. Delphi is lovely though.

Dh LOVES Juniper,I just presented him with Delphi today which he is on the fence about (though he is always like that when he first heard a name)

I love both equally!

I agree NotTodaySatan Juniper has some lovely nn, Juno, Juni, Joon which is nice!

Delphi -but only because I hate the smell of juniper.

YY Juno, Juni and Joon were exactly what I was thinking of

Delphi is the name of my local Greek restaurant. I prefer Delphine or Delphina.

I used to love Delphi until dh said it was the name of a play centre near where he lived in Galway. Everyone used to 'go down the delph'. Not saying that should put you off.
I really like Juniper. Do you like Indie?

Yes I know about the centre down in, it's certainly a negative against it. I used to love the name Indíe and it was on the list for Aphra but I'm not so sure now!

That should say down in Galway.

Delphi reminds me of that place in Galway too Daphne. We went on an outward bound/assault course type school trip there. It was a soggy experience.

Juniper is much nicer.

Delphi sounds unfinished business and Juniper a bit ugly, sorry.

Delphi conjures 'Oracle of'. Would she feel under pressure to be all-knowing with a name like that?

Probably not playground pressure, admittedly.

Delphi(e) is the main character of those naffo sparkly ballerina, Bussell books. I'm not a fan but it's marginally better than Juniper. Now how does that song go.

Both a bit weird with two obviously biblical names, but I don't suppose that sort of thing matters.

Oh yes, that's it. Jennifer Juniper, lilacs in her hair...rides a dappled mare etc

Juniper's not really a 'proper' name and it puts me in mind of gin

June is nicer (in my humble opinion) but might not be fashionable enough for you.

The hippy names are getting a rough ride this week (see Luna).

I rather like Juniper. Much nicer than Jennifer and it's a good song.

It is a good song!

Prefer Juniper - quite like it actually.

I can't even tell if these names are supposed to be for a boy or a girl

Much prefer Juniper, Donovan connections or otherwise.

Delphi sounds like a mix of your other two...
Juniper has more nn. I love Juno. Or juju.

I prefer Delphi. Although it's a common computer programming language. As well as a place of course.

Delphi sounds a bit like a business name shortened. I like it a lot though. How about Delphine? Then she also has the option of being Phiney, etc (though that doesn't look good written down!)

Juno has also been on the list but dh prefers Juniper!
