Juniper or Josephine?

[isthatatree]

Juniper is my preference, Josephine is DH's

Well not mad about either, but Juniper. And I think June will become fashionable soon if that ends up being a nickname.

There is just something depressing about Josephine, it makes me think of nuns and boiled cabbage (sorry for the cliche but I mean crappy convent schools). Although of course there is Napoleon’s Josephine. Don’t like jo or Josie much.

Love Juniper. Would worry about June, and therefore preempt that with Juno.

Juniper - much more interesting, exciting, cool and upbeat. Josephine is nice enough, but a touch dowdy.

Juniper from assassin's creed or Josephine from la femme Nikita, how about both, one as the primary and the other as the middle name ?

I don’t like Juniper at all sorry. Josephine is lovely

My oldest has a June variant name so I lean towards Juniper.
I personally find Josie a bit twee and Josephine terribly dated too me it's not in that old clunky cool category.

Josephine although the ones I know are never known by their full name not sure if this would bother you.

Josephine would be my preference. Juniper is very sharp sounding.

I love Josephine, Juniper sounds a bit twee.

Josephine is beautiful, don’t like Juniper .

I LOVE Juniper. It's on my list for sure.

For anyone who doesn't like the 'June' style nickname, I'm not a gin kind of person at all but because of the connection between gin and juniper berries, I thought Ginny would work really well as a nickname.

I don't like the name Josephine as much as I used to since I've got a problematic relationship with the only person I know with this name so there are some negative connotations there. Both Jo and Josie also sound very outdated to me. If I did ever use this name, I think I would prefer something like Effie as a nickname as someone else suggested earlier on though.

Josephine. Who wants "nipper" in the middle of their name?

Juniper is gorgeous.
Josephine is dull.

Josephine. Juniper is a bit too try-hard
