A middle name for Juniper

[Juniperjunojunijune]

Naming our little girl Juniper (NN Juno / Junie / June)

What middle name would you pair with this?

We have a couple of ideas but wanted to see what other people think goes, to get an unbiased opinion.

Thanks!

Juniper Grey
Juniper Faye
Juniper Jane
Juniper Jolene/Jo

Oh juniper rae sounds lovely x

Juniper Maeve

Juniper Leigh

Depends on your surname, what the initials would be
Ie juniper Anne is good but if your surname starts with M it’d be JAM, not so good!!

Jin

I wouldn't go with another J' name, it sounds too much.

Juniper Rae is lovely
Juniper Faye?

Another who immediately thought ‘Juniper Belle’ upon reading the title.

Some amazing suggestions! Thanks everyone!

I LOVE Juniper Joy but I don't think I'm cool enough to pull it off.

Juniper Maeve and Juniper Rae are really cool too.

I'd considered Elizabeth as I thought that a less common name like Juniper might be nice with a classic middle name , although Elspeth has really grown on me too!

Juniper Belle and Juniper Alice are cute but I can't use it as surname begins with Al and the names sort of run into each other.

What does everyone think of Iris as a middle name? It's a family name which I'd dismissed but keep coming back to as it has a meaning for us. Is it too nature-y?

Juniper??

Ummmm....
Juniper Berry?

Juniper Gin

I think Juniper Iris is lovely, OP.

Juniper joy does sound like jump for joy it would give kids and teachers a laugh at school at least.

I can imagine clapping 'juniper joy ' to the sound of 'Hercules Hercules ' 😂 ála Eddie Murphy

Juniper Rose

Iris works but prefer Elizabeth next to Juniper - you could do both
Juniper Elizabeth Iris ..
as that breaks up the 2 nature names

🙄 morallybankruptme Juniper has been a name for over 1000 years. Saint Juniper was one of Saint Francis of Assisi's most well known followers. Just because you haven't heard of someone very well known in history and religion doesn't mean that everyone will be so judgemental and uneducated. So I doubt anyone will have a 'good laugh' at a name because it's not in the top 20. Please grow up/educate yourself a bit.

Thank you everyone else for the lovely suggestions! Really appreciate it... So many to consider!

Op I think they mean Juniper Joy sounds like Jump for Joy - although I don’t recall teachers and friends ever knowing my middle name tbh.

I love your suggestion of Juniper Elspeth

I’ve never really liked Iris as a name but it sounds fine with Juniper if it’s one you like. I think double nature only fails when it sounds like a place or thing ie Hazel Willow or Ivy Rose etc
To me - Juniper Iris sounds fine

Iris and Elspeth are both lovely.

I think first of Eliot's "three white leopards sat under a juniper tree".

Ah maybe you're right Penny - although I already said I couldn't pull it off I do think it sounds lovely but I feel like it would need quite a cool, quirky parent to make it work and I am neither of those things! Oh well

And thank you for the feedback about nature names! Would you personally go for something more classic?

Lobsterquadrille2 ooh, I've not heard of that! Goes off to Google it

I'm going to say Juniper Merle - Merle Oberon was an actress in the 1930s (she starred opposite Laurence Olivier in Wuthering Heights). It also means blackbird in French which ties in with the nature them, Juniper being a small tree or shrub. I think it would also go with your Al...surname:

Juniper Merle Al....
