Thank you everyone. I love Luna but my husband has vetoed it as 3 friends have used this name in last year. Is juniper a bit out there or ok?

Lyra and Willow!

Mrsknackered · 01/08/2017 14:03

Ada, Thea and Ivy are my favourites.
I like Lyra too but there's something off about it.
Really dislike Rosalind and Eliza

Pomparr · 01/08/2017 14:22

I like Luna - but it just makes me think of Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. I like Willow x

Really struggling with girls names myself!

I really like Juniper, but similar alternatives if you're worried are June, Jupiter (just as "out there" really!), Julia...

Karine Juno is my absolute favourite name of all time but has been absolutely slated by everyone I've ever mentioned it to so I've given up....

OP posts:
krakentoast · 01/08/2017 20:08

But Juno is a great name!

friedegs · 01/08/2017 20:11

I love Rosalind. Juno is a good name too, I know a teen one. Suits a girl/ teen/ woman well. If you like it use it. MN is just a few opinions!

Threeandabit · 01/08/2017 20:16

I like your list, especially Thea.

Other names I like, which you like too, are: -

Esmé
Kristin
Iona
Prue
Saskia
Leona
Daniella
Simone
Rona

Seagreen My 9 month old DD is Juno, we have had mostly positive responses, the people who wrinkle their nose s are generally old ladies who stop to talk to us in shops!
For me the name is feisty, beautiful and rare but not made up. I love it. If you love it, consider it. We didn't tell anyone what name we were planning and just announced it (although I did warn my mum I wasn't sure our chosen name would be to her taste, in the event she said she loved it!). Once it is your child's name, people are a lot less likely to be rude about it!
