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

As a side note: I now have the song 'Jennifer Juniper' going through my head! Would Jennifer be an option?

Mehoooole · 04/05/2021 22:14

Pepper

Juniper

Juniper Smile

Sorry none. Pepper is a dogs name and then there’s Peppa Pig, Nessie = Loch Ness Monster and Juniper just makes me think of gin.

Tillygetsit · 04/05/2021 22:49

Juniper by far. As someone maddened by that incredibly rude pig on a daily basis, please not Pepper. It might be spelt differently but it still gives me the shudders.

DennisTMenace · 04/05/2021 22:56

Juniper is beautiful. I had to ditch Edmund for ds2 as the character from peppa pig is too irritating.

lavieengrenache · 04/05/2021 23:09

Like all the names on your second list although Ginny sounds as if it should be short for something.

Pemba · 05/05/2021 01:49

I agree, should be Virginia or Ginevra. Genevieve maybe.

MercyBodle · 05/05/2021 03:33

I love Juniper, and love it with nicknames Pip, Pippin and Pepper! One person can have several nicknames... I know a little girl who goes by her formal name as well as several nicknames used by different people. It's all lots of fun!

Nessie is okay, but like others, I'd prefer this one as a nickname ( I like Agnes). I like Pepper too as a full name.

daisypetula · 05/05/2021 04:42

Juniper.
I would absolutely not use Nessie. Maybe Vanessa with Nessie as a nickname unless you are in Scotland

ColonelPine · 05/05/2021 04:54

Nessie.

BigGreenOlives · 05/05/2021 05:03

Unable to comment.

Have you considered changing your name to any of these? Why wouldn’t you?

ShowOfHands · 05/05/2021 05:20

If you like H names and you like Esther, why not Hester?

cariadlet · 05/05/2021 05:41

Juniper: didn't know this was a name. My first thought was juniper berry which made me think of gin

Pepper: again, didn't know this was ever used as a name. Makes me think of salt and pepper or Peppa Pig. She might get mean kids oinking or snorting at her.

Nessie sounds like a monster.

Not keen on any of them. Sorry.

WildCherryBlossom · 05/05/2021 05:52

Juniper is my favourite by a long stretch

OhSayWhat · 05/05/2021 05:59

Pepper

Sunglasses2 · 05/05/2021 06:03

Juniper.

Aria20 · 05/05/2021 06:27

I actually really like Juniper, it's not one I'd choose, but I can imagine it on a little girl and the fact she's born in June is perfect.

I'd call a future pet pepper instead Smile

I agree with others if you decide Nessie, I'd go Vanessa as a full name. I did immediately think Loch Ness monster though!

drpet49 · 05/05/2021 06:33

None.

ShinyGreenElephant · 05/05/2021 06:43

Juniper is beautiful and could definitely have Pepper as the nickname and easily swap it to Pippa if you're getting fed up with the pig comments

Drunkenmonkey · 05/05/2021 11:31

I love Juniper. Nessie is a bit nicknamey for me. Not so keen on Pepper. Good luck choosing.

This. And I mean it kindly. To your child. Please don’t do this to her.

Thanks all for your advice, have taken on board :) think will end this here as just getting a lot of the same comments over and over! Juniper seems to be the most popular which is good as it's my favourite! Maybe she will end up as one of these maybe not! We have a few more we like such as Nina, so will see what she looks like! X
