What about Juniper?

28 replies

Or Tallulah?

Always planned on having June as a middle name (special family connection) but dont want it as a stand alone name. I've recently been watching a TV show with a character called Juniper and it's really grown on me. Love Junie, June and Juno so could also use any of these as a nickname.

I also had a dream that I had a daughter called Tallulah and now this has really grown on me too!

Any thoughts?

I absolutely love Juniper 😍 love the nn's Juni and Juno 😁

Marcipex · 26/05/2019 11:56

I like it but I am a bit of an old hippy.
Juno is lovely too.
Not sure about Tallulah. But I think it would grow on me.

I love Juniper but not Tallulah

justilou1 · 26/05/2019 11:59

Juniper!!! (I know too many Tallulahs, and several of them are dogs - real ones, I’m not being nasty.)

I love it. Not such a fan of Tallullah (though I know one who’s pretty cool) Juniper is super hippy but also lovely and not weird. Lots of other planty names about so not really that outlandish. Just don’t have Juniper June!

Tallulah sounds terrible
Juniper isn't my style but it sounds quirky & cute

bridgetreilly · 26/05/2019 12:31

Juniper is miles better than Tallulah.

daisypond · 26/05/2019 14:50

I like both.

MikeUniformMike · 26/05/2019 14:56

I like both but Juniper is less frilly. Go for it.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 26/05/2019 14:57

Love Juniper.

LookingGlassMilk · 26/05/2019 14:59

I love Juniper

OldAndWornOut · 26/05/2019 15:02

I'm surprised by how much I like Juniper.
Its really lovely!

Sophronia · 26/05/2019 19:29

Juniper just makes me think of gin. I prefer Tallulah.

Malyshek · 26/05/2019 19:32

I prefer Juniper. Tallulah sounds a bit strange to me. Tabitha, maybe, but not keeb on Tallulah.

Skyejuly · 29/05/2019 15:42

My cats name!

crosspelican · 29/05/2019 15:44

Love Juniper. Also love Juno as a full, unshortened name.

BarrenFieldofFucks · 29/05/2019 15:46

Juniper not my style, but like it very much. Dislike Talullah, I can't say it in any way other than bugsy Malone style

Pieceofpurplesky · 29/05/2019 15:47

Juniper is a fabulous name

Seaandsand83 · 29/05/2019 15:49

Much prefer Tallulah to Juniper!

TheRLodger · 29/05/2019 15:50

I love Junpier. Not keen on Tallulah. Jodie Foster in Bugsy Malone and she really annoys me

SallyWD · 29/05/2019 15:50

Im not keen on juniper. Doesn't sound like a name to me, it's a Berry. Seems like lots of other people like it though!

OhhMyLittleGirls · 29/05/2019 19:02

Juniper is lovely, nn Juno is great too imo. I think I slightly prefer Tallulah but just by a little bit, I really like both

Antonin · 30/05/2019 13:36

I prefer Juniper with Juno as the nn. Tallulah is me is dated (Tallulah Bankhead) and an over the top Hollywood type of name. Not easy to say in a hurry, either.

CakeRattleandRoll · 30/05/2019 16:14

Agree with pps - Juniper is lovely.
