Thoughts on Juniper?

[genericusername333]

I just discovered this name recently and love it, hope to use it one day for a daughter. What do other people think of it?

Ginny for short?

If I heard it I would assume that the mother drank too much gin. Sorry.

Makes me think of Jennifer Juniper, though that might be lost on you if you are young.

It could be shortened to June which is old fashioned in a hasn't come back round to being fashionable way.

It's also a diuretic.

No maybe Juno or Junie?

I like it. It gets mentioned on here quite often.

I quite like Juno or June

Junie sounds a bit daft

Hmm the gin association wouldn't bother me, as I don't drink it, but some family members may find it funny or something. I like the song Jennifer Juniper, so I don't see that as a negative.

It's a bit too hippy-dippy for me.

I have a Juniper!

We've never had any negative comments, apart from the occasional 'oh! How.... unusual!'

We do tend to use her full name but shorten it to Juno occasionally.

Ahh yellow! That's great! Do you live in the uk? Juniper seems more popular in the US?

I like that there are multiple nicknames available, but I really prefer the full name. My sons name can't be shortened!

Yep, in the UK.

I'm so glad we went for it, I've not met another yet (and I'm in childcare) and it suits her down to the ground

I like it, but prefer Juno (just!).

I quite like it.

Thankfully my partner likes it too, but I do wonder what my family would react like. It's good to know that you have a had positive reactions though.

Love it. I know a little Juniper through a friend and it really suits her. It's the name for our future daughter. Go for it! I'd like a few more to pop up so that it doesn't seem too unusual

I really like it. I like the full version and nns like Junie. It does seem to be more used in the US, where I've seen Pip suggested as possible nn, which I also love.

I love it. It’s not that unusual these days- parents would get used to it pretty quickly I think. Love Juno too.

There was 90 girls in 2018 given this name (most recent year we have stats for). There’ll be more in 2020 given its upward trajectory. No ones going to be that shocked - it’s lovely

I think it’s lovely.

Cherrytangfastic if I have a daughter one day I'll definitely use it

Astronica hadn't thought of Pip as a nickname, that's very cute!

Whatsyourflava I think it may become more popular but not majorly, which is good. Anyone know where to find stats for Scotland?

I really like it OP. It was on our list but I wasn't brave enough to go for it.
