Between June and Juna, I prefer June. My favourite June variant is Junia.

DonLewis · 05/12/2020 09:09

Ah, June is lovely.

BrokenLink · 05/12/2020 09:20

I like Juna as it sounds more fresh and young than June.

NannyR · 05/12/2020 09:43

I love June, Junk is nice too.

NannyR · 05/12/2020 09:43

Auto correct!!! Juno not junk!

Nell96 · 05/12/2020 09:45

I really dislike June, so Juna. How about Juno? Much nicer.

kidscreatemess · 05/12/2020 09:45

June

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 05/12/2020 10:20

Junia is the nicest - beautiful and classical (although may get confused with Julia), but I also like Juno - it's quirky and fun. Less keen on June, as it sounds a bit dated, and Juna sounds odd to me.

Fleetwoodmacs · 05/12/2020 10:22

Not keen on either. What about Juno?

zigaziga · 05/12/2020 10:42

@NannyR

I love June, Junk is nice too.
A controversial opinion Grin
MikeUniformMike · 05/12/2020 11:56

Junko is better than Junk.

Not keen on June. Juna is awful IMO. Junia looks like a yoonique spelling of Junior.
Juno is probably the best one but I'm not keen.

AuntieStella · 05/12/2020 12:13

Prefer June to Juna (by a considerable margin)

SandysMam · 05/12/2020 12:32

Have you thought of Juniper? More trendy at the moment, could shorten to Juni, June?

Fridgedooropen · 05/12/2020 12:34

Don't like Juna at all. June every time.

Firebird83 · 05/12/2020 21:14

June. Juna is too much like Tuna.

june2007 · 05/12/2020 21:17

Junia yes Juna I have never heard of. June is ok.

Changethetoner · 06/12/2020 01:38

Jane is nice.

Kokeshi123 · 06/12/2020 13:15

Juna is not bad but the simplicity of June is very nice.
I hate Juno, sorry. It sounds like a pet's name.

callistography · 06/12/2020 13:17

I prefer June to Juna but Juno is, to me, a better variation. Beautiful classical goddess

ivfbeenbusy · 06/12/2020 13:29

Juna sounds suspiciously made up? Which automatically makes it a bad choice sorry

CeeceeBloomingdale · 06/12/2020 13:32

Neither, Juno would be my pick

fourteen6 · 06/12/2020 13:38

I second the idea of Juniper! I think it's a lovely name and a bit different. Then you can shorten it to whatever you like without too much pressure if people/baby don't end up liking it - as it's only a nickname. Juna would work as a nickname too if you do like that. Initially I was 50/50 on Juna but now someone has said it's like Tuna, I can't unsee it 😂

callistography · 06/12/2020 14:22

Juna is quite an old name in origin.

DefinitelyMaybeBaby · 06/12/2020 16:48

I immediately thought of Tuna for Juna too so would definitely say June, although not everyone would agree but I do think baby needs to be born in the month of June for it to work really. I also like Juno or Juniper for a modern twist.

HeadlessGummyBears · 06/12/2020 20:15

I think June sounds much better than Juna. Juniper could also be another option?
