Juniper

We are fairly set on Juniper if this bump turns into a girl. Probably Juno for short but well aware she may get June, Juni, June-bug etc. and fine with all of those.

What do people think? And any middle name suggestions that go nicely?

Thanks!

You see juniper, you think gin.

But that says more about me I suspect.

As long as your surname isn't Berry or Bush its lovely.

PugwallsSummer · 03/04/2017 19:48

Beautiful! I love June and considered Juniper but DH vetoed.

WowserBowser · 03/04/2017 19:51

I like it!

MarcelineQueen · 03/04/2017 19:53

We have a Juno and she gets juju, juji, jujubean, chicken, and snotface as nn's...

YoungYolandaYorgensen39 · 03/04/2017 19:59

People may think you have a penchant for gin, but it's a pretty name. Junie is a cute nickname.

Also Nipper, Nip...

Not really my taste I'm afraid.

weebarra · 03/04/2017 20:31

Lovely, I like it.

Jooni · 03/04/2017 20:58

I like it (have a Juno too so am biased!)

I actually think Nip/Nipper are quite sweet as occasional pet names! Blush

I'd go with something a bit more traditional in the middle, maybe:

Juniper Emily
Juniper Blythe
Juniper Cecily
Juniper Florence
Juniper Gwen
Juniper Maeve

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 03/04/2017 21:39

I like Juniper Lily.
Other suggestions;
Juniper Wren
Juniper Blossom
Juniper Kite
Juniper Storm
Juniper Desiree'

Juniper is a firm favourite of mine and is on the list (along with Juno) if this bump turns of to be a little lady!! So a thumbs up from moi.

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 03/04/2017 21:54

It's not something I would ever use but I'd think it was a nice sweet name if I ever met a little girl called that. I can't quite picture an adult female with that name though.

grumpysquash3 · 03/04/2017 22:05

I would think Gin too, but I think that's ok as Gin is a nice drink. It's not the same as Chardonnay/Chablis/Martini/Bayley

cailyaclara · 03/04/2017 22:14

I love the name Juniper and would have paired it with Blythe if my hubby had let me!!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 03/04/2017 22:16

I love Juniper. Definitely use it.

frums · 03/04/2017 22:20

My daughter has a friend called Juniper nn Juna. It's sweet. I too think of Gin but that association just made me chuckle and then I forgot it.

buttercup54321 · 03/04/2017 22:24

Awful and sounds like Jupiter.

I like it, it's different in a good way.

MummyNotMommy · 04/04/2017 06:57

I'm happy to see it's broadly liked! I actually like Nipper etc. as well, cute!
No problems with the gin connection. I love gin.

Thanks for the middle name suggestions. I love Ann and Alice.

Nippy! Nipes? Idk, that would be really adorable imo :)

Anyhow... I personally think Juno has th edge, but only by a tiny little margin, both names are really lovely.

But Juniper Alice is gorgeous imo. I also like Juniper Ann, but Ann is im personaly o a bit of a "filler name" if it's used as a middle one (a bit like Grace or Rose, tbh). Which is why I prefer Juniper Alice.

Congratulations :) Flowers !

OvariesForgotHerPassword · 04/04/2017 07:10

I love it!

SuperBeagle · 04/04/2017 07:12

I don't like it at all. Also don't like Juno.

But June is nice enough, with Junie as a nickname.

HerRoyalNotness · 04/04/2017 07:13

Juniper willow

BikeRunSki · 04/04/2017 07:23

I like it, and would pair it with a more mainstream middle name. Your suggestions of Anne or Alice are lovely.
