Can't decide

Juno or Amber

I love both names for different reasons and I am aware that they are very different styles. I just can't decide at all!

Other names we have considered are:
Seren
Lucy
Halle
India
Summer
But I really keep coming back to the original 2.

Help!

Juno or Amber
Of the two, Amber

Seren - dreadful, will date badly
Lucy - lovely
Halle - no
India - a bit Katie Hopkins, ok if you have Indian connections
Summer - no, rhymes with bummer

I love both actually ! I don't know if I'd be brave enough to use Juno, purely because it's not as 'traditional' as my other kids names , but I do love it. Which goes better with your surname ?

dandelion93 · 05/10/2018 19:19

Juno is much nicer than Amber IMO.
Juno is also nicer than the other ones you've considered!
I'd go with that one personallySmile

Nellyelora · 05/10/2018 19:23

Tough one as I love them both. Amber is statistically much more popular. Perhaps just wait and see what she suits when she's born?

LittleMouseontheDairy · 05/10/2018 19:35

I prefer Amber. I love the IDEA of Juno (short, feisty, dynamic sort of name with interesting origins) but in reality the ‘d’you know’ thing annoys me and I’m currently in the throes of the terrible twos and can imagine finding it wearing saying ‘Juno, No!’ Lots and feeling as if I was saying ‘No’ ALL the time! If that makes sense...

I like all your other names too (apart from Summer). I love the sound of India but it gets savaged on here so frequently I’ve gone off it Sad

Peachbubble · 05/10/2018 20:24

Amber, not keen on Juno at all. From the others, I like India.

AlecOrAlonzo · 05/10/2018 20:26

Juno. I think it's getting less "out there" but still unusual.

I've never known a nice Amber.

madeoficecream · 05/10/2018 20:26

both beautiful.

Really dislike India as a name.

dustarr73 · 05/10/2018 20:28

Juno and Halle would be my 2.The rest are a bit meh.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 05/10/2018 20:58

Amber leaf tobacco, awful sorry
Juno is okay but seems quite faddy to me.
Also if you're wanting a mn nothing will really flow with it as it'll sound like you're saying do you know ..........
Seren is very harsh
Summer. Okay but only if she's going to be born in Summer.
Halle Gorgeous but chavvy
India Gorgeous
Lucy Classic and beautiful. What's not to love.
Luca Like it for a boy but not a girl.

Juno ❤️

toomanyeastereggsurghh · 05/10/2018 21:32

Juno - kooky and cool. Personally I prefer “pretty” names which I don’t think this is.
Amber - ok but not a huge fan
Seren - really like. Pretty and different
Lucy - lovely but super duper popular
Halle - don’t like at all
India - love this, also Indigo is pretty and different
Summer - really not keen. I prefer Savannah

BurtTyrannosaurusMacklin · 05/10/2018 22:02

Both good, can’t really go wrong with Juno or Amber in my opinion.

I also really like just June.

Shadow1234 · 05/10/2018 22:20

Prefer Amber out of the top two.( not keen on Juno), but prefer seren and Summer to Amber.

RedDwarves · 05/10/2018 23:39

Juno of the two.

Love Lucy, like Seren. Not fussed on the rest.

Sophronia · 06/10/2018 00:02

Juno is much nicer

Eeevvvveee · 06/10/2018 05:08

LOVE Juno!

cece · 06/10/2018 05:40

Not keen on either. I only like Lucy from your list.
How about June?

IvanMashPotatoIvanDoTheTwist · 06/10/2018 07:40

I wasn't a Juno fan but I think it's a grower actually. My mother had suggested Amber for our in uteto dc but my OH immediately said 'that's a stripper name!' So it put me right off... usually if he's not keen on a name he'll just say no without explanation (which is actually not wholly helpful!!!)

I love Seren from your list too.

LeeMiller · 07/10/2018 11:25

Amber is nice. I love the name Lucy. Not so keen on your others.

Juno seems very popular at the moment. It reminds me of Margot. It feels a bit too self-consciously quirky.
