Opinions on Juno?

I think it’s elegant while being spunky and would balance it out with a very feminine middle name like Evangeline or Isadora. What do you think?

I like it. Possibly being shortened to June would bother me though, which I don’t like.

StandardLampski · 05/01/2019 21:33

I like it a lot. Was one of my choices!

moredoll · 05/01/2019 21:34

I like Juno. I think it's feminine enough - Evangeline or Isadora takes it over the top.

BurtTyrannosaurusMacklin · 05/01/2019 21:36

I do really like it but I'm also at the right age that it's not past the association with the film for me yet, so it depends if that bothers you I suppose!

SuperstarDJ · 05/01/2019 21:36

On paper i like it but in reality I’d feel like a bit of a dick calling out that name in the park.

Justkeeprollingalong · 05/01/2019 21:36

I like it

Lomondstripe · 05/01/2019 21:37

I love it (and other Classical names, have a lovely friend called Persephone) but it is also the name of 3 dogs I know Grin

Beamur · 05/01/2019 21:38

I like Juno, but not with the middle names you're suggesting. Although I also like Evangeline, but perhaps not Isadora.

What middle names would you all think? I’m liking Juno Evangeline a lot

I think it's great. I know a gorgeous little Juno and I never once thought it was pretentious.
Juno Isadora is lovely.

Beamur · 05/01/2019 21:45

I think with middle names just go with one you really like. I almost never actually say my DD's middle name except when filling in forms! Just make sure it doesn't spell something embarrassing. Grin

WildCherryBlossom · 05/01/2019 21:50

I love the sound of Juno. Juno Isadora would be my preference. I dislike the "vange" bit of Evangeline.

WrapAndRoll · 05/01/2019 22:55

It's nice and either of the middle names would go well. I really like Juno Evangeline.

FlamingJuno · 05/01/2019 22:57

Great name Wink

RedDwarves · 05/01/2019 22:58

I love Juno.

But I would go for something far more classic (than Evangeline or Isadora, that is) as a middle name, because Juno is quite different. Elizabeth, Alexandra, Madeleine, Lillian, Sarah, Sophia etc.

Namedrama · 05/01/2019 22:59

What about Juniper nn Juno? It gives her options. I think it’s a sweet name.

Rodenhide · 05/01/2019 23:00

I don't mind the name but would always associate it with the film about teenage pregnancy, though that's simply because I've never heard it anywho else.

DramaAlpaca · 05/01/2019 23:00

I love Juno Evangeline.

PoesyCherish · 05/01/2019 23:01

I love Juno and agree it's spunky. Reminds me of the girl from the film Smile

PoesyCherish · 05/01/2019 23:02

Ps personally for me reminding me of the film is a good thing. I think Juno turned out to be a great kid in the end, sure she made some bad choices (getting pregnant, then becoming attracted to a married man) but personally I loved her by the end of it.

Ribbonsonabox · 05/01/2019 23:03

I think it's a lovely and elegant sounding name

TigerDroveAgain · 05/01/2019 23:04

Juno, queen of the gods.

Nah - don’t like it

Jorgezaunders · 05/01/2019 23:05

Good strong classic name. I like it paired with Evangeline: you get strong + pretty that way.
