Fight over names.. Whose are better, mine or his? Juniper or Jane...

[CoralieConfused]

Ok, my top 3 girls names:
Juniper
Evangeline
Lilias

DP's:
Jane
Violetta
Constance

Compromise seems hard

I don't like juniper, it sounds like a fairy or someone from the borrowers. I like the rest though!

❤️ Jane.

Love love love Rowan for a girl - but how would you pronounce it? For me it's Row to rhyme with Now, not to rhyme with Low.

I also like Hazel.

TheGirl you could pronounce Rowan both ways but I'd say it to pronounce to Low, myself.

I like Juniper Jane. Little JJ.

Juniper Jane sounds like a character from the Beano. Like Beryl the Peril.

Juniper Jane is great!

I like January and Constance. The others are possibly nice, but I can't quite decide (sorry!). Not keen on Juniper as it reminds me of the dinosaur in the film Walking with Dinosaurs, but that's just me

Other suggestions:

Frances, Stevie, Cadence, Primrose

@SuperFlyHigh as it often is, it's a regional thing I think. I'm West of Scotland and had only ever heard it pronounced the way I do until Rowan Atkinson was on TV, both for tree and name.

I like Juniper Jane, sounds like a marvel character and has a good rhythm to it.
This ^^^

I would pronounce the Row in Rowan to rhyme with Now as well.

Now you say it OP it sounds fine the way you say it, just I guess I'm used to hearing it said the Southern way!

doobus Cadence can be shortened to Caddy which is nice.

I used to work with a woman called Stevie and thought it was a lovely name.

The row in rowan rhymes with no, like the rowan tree.

Rowen, Rowena - both the same 'no' sound. Rowan Atkinson is famous enough to make that pronunciation standard.

Well, unless you're Scottish- in which case the Row can be as "making a....."

I like Juniper Jane, sounds like a marvel character and has a good rhythm to it.

Very true. Juniper Jane is great!

Has anyone suggested Rosamund (Rose of the World)
I have a dgd Constance (Connie) so I love the name.

Ro-an is definitely not the standard pronounciation here in Scotland - sounds fine though. Dp is away at the moment so no opportunities to badger him directly about names, but we did both agree that Rosamund is beautiful!

Going biblical, we also both like Tamar...
I can't let Lilias go though

You need triplets

Laurel, Sorrel, and Johnny Borrell

Pulled in by Juniper. My dog is called Juniper because, . She's lovely.

I love Lilias.

I love Lilias too. Tamar is unusual and beautiful.

Ooh, I like Tamar too. How many syllables is the surname?

2 syllable last name beginning with B.

Tamar has quite a different feel to our other ideas I think. I can imagine sisters called Rosamund and Tamar though (jumping the gun a bit )

Tamar is quite viola player-ish I'd say. I see an elegant long neck and a tendency towards long swishy skirts.
