Back again!! We now have a top three! Baby girl due in five weeks! No negativity to any of the names please as she will more then likely end up as one, I do know they aren't to everyone's taste. But our current list is;

Juniper (my absolute favourite)
Pepper (husband adores this name)
Nessie (we both quite like)

Just opinion on which you would go for please as I said no negativity on any, took us forever to agree on three 😂

Thank you ladies xxx

I prefer Juniper

SingingWaffleDoggy · 04/05/2021 15:03

Pepper is by far my preferred choice out of the 3

Koolandorthegang · 04/05/2021 15:04

Juniper is lovely. Not a fan of Pepper, it reminds me of the character out of American Horror Story. Would you consider Nessa with nickname Nessie?

Toilenstripes · 04/05/2021 15:05

Juniper is lovely and seems like more of a proper name. Pepper seems more like a nickname, but a really cute one.

Schrutesbeets · 04/05/2021 15:05

I love Pepper when read from that spelling, but if I just heard it out loud I would think of Peppa Pig and don't think I'd like it as much.
Nessie is more accessible I think, but if I met a Juniper I think I would think 'what a lovely and unusual name'.

Toilenstripes · 04/05/2021 15:06

Nessie = Loch Ness Monster

PegPeople · 04/05/2021 15:06

Nessie but with Vanessa to fall back on should she get fed up of loch ness monster comments.

lavieengrenache · 04/05/2021 15:07

Probably Juniper. Would be a bit concerned she'd be saddled with various piggy nicknames if you called her Pepper, and I'm Scottish so Nessie is a monster in a Loch. Like Vanessa though.

yankee4953 · 04/05/2021 15:07

Juniper! I absolutely LOVE that name!

Myneighboursnorlax · 04/05/2021 15:07

Juniper

UCOinanOCG · 04/05/2021 15:08

Juniper is my favourite.

Vanessa with the nn Nessie would be second.

Not keen on Pepper

Tartyflette · 04/05/2021 15:09

Either Juniper or Nessie but not Pepper it's a dog's-- pet's name.

SoupDragon · 04/05/2021 15:09

Juniper.

I prefer Nessa to Nessie.

I really don't think you can call a child Pepper because of Peppa Pig.

GAW19 · 04/05/2021 15:09

Juniper and Nessie are lovely!

Have you got a NN if you called her Juniper? Smile

Orangebug · 04/05/2021 15:10

Juniper and Nessie are nice.

Hockeyboysmum · 04/05/2021 15:11

I prefer juniper. Im scottish so nessie would remind of loch ness monster.

badg3r · 04/05/2021 15:13

Pepper will always be confused with Peppa. It would drive me mad to have a name that was always misheard.

Nessie is ok but as a nickname for Vanessa. I like Nessa better.

Out of the three on your list as they are, juniper 100%

SilverOtter · 04/05/2021 15:13

I love Juniper!❤️

FolornLawn · 04/05/2021 15:13

Juniper.

Pepper is too porcine and Nessie is too monsterish.

Iremembertheelderlykoreanlady · 04/05/2021 15:15

Is "none" a kind word? Probably not...Sorry

WeeGobshiteBentBastard · 04/05/2021 15:16

Juno is better. The other two are not good.

Nightbear · 04/05/2021 15:17

Juniper.

Deadringer · 04/05/2021 15:17

Juniper is lovely, pepper would work as a pet name for it imo.

HunterHearstHelmsley · 04/05/2021 15:18

Pepper.

Juniper is a bit Chardonnay. Nessie.. I don't know. I don't like it but I can't put my finger on why.

kindlyensure · 04/05/2021 15:19

Juniper is the best. (As an aside, June is sweet sweet sweet). You will have older people singing 'Jennifer Juniper' to her though.

And www.mumsnet.com/Talk/baby_names/1223465-Is-there-a-name-like-Juniper-but-not-Juniper might be worth a read.
