Similar to Juniper?

Looking for a 3 syllable name that can be nicknamed with an “y”/ “I” ending. I love Juniper - Juni for short - but I can’t use it because a close friend has.

Can anyone recommend anything similar?

I like the 3 syllable long name and 2 syllable “I” ending nickname as it’ll go really well with a sibling name.

There are loads. Off the top of my head:

Cecily (Ceci)
Jessamine (Jessie)
Jennifer (Jenny)
Eleanor (Ellie)
Clementine (Clemmie)

I like Cecily!

Looking for a name that also has that Juniper vibe. I suppose a bit nature-inspired?

Jessamy
Kezia (Kezzie, Kizzy)
Rosalie
Coralie (Corey, Cori)
Emmeline
Erica
Bethany
Caroline (Carrie, Carly)
Genevieve
Jocelyn
Briony
Tabitha
Violet
Leonor

Some of those, you might have to be a bit inventive to get a nickname ending in y/i. I don't think any of them are impossible to nickname, though!

More nature-y, three syllables:

Rosemary (Rosie)
Bryony (Bry)
Coralie (Corrie)
Cassia (Cassie)
Acacia (Casey)
Clementine (Clemmie)
Magnolia (Maggie)

How do you feel about gemstones?

Emerald (Emmy)

Or... goddesses of rivers? Sabrina (Sabby)

I'm running out tbh. Grin

Laurel / Lauren?

RosieJess91 · 23/08/2020 19:30

As someone who was almost named Tabitha, I'd probably avoid it, as soon as "school friends" heard of my near name, I was called a lot of awful cat themed nicknames even though my name is actually Jess... (which I suppose is also cat themed...)
Cecelia is cute, if Cecily isn't quite right.

Four syllables but I love Camelia, Cammy for short
