What middle name to honour the grannies?

Hello!
We’re due in July, don’t know the sex but if it’s a girl I’d like to honour all our grannies with a middle name.
The grannies were called June, Joan & Josephine. Can anyone think of a name that honours them all at once?!
Thank you 😊

Go a bit casual

Junie Jo-Jo

Jay? That's the only logical option surely without something convoluted and it commemorates them all because they fortunately all start with the letter J.

Jujophine has a nice ring to it Grin

Jane? Has the J and N together but is different from them all and due a comeback.

Do you know the meanings of the names? (Other than June!) Could you find a theme from those?

Jay is good.
Or is there a name from another culture that might work??

Just have another 2 babies and use one each 😂

rubyandbel · 24/12/2021 09:50

I dont think you can unless you use all 3 names. I have 3 girls so have managed to use a few names. Just have more babies 👶

Just the initial J to represent them all

AwkwardSquad · 24/12/2021 11:51

Jumanji?

More seriously, tho, the pp’s suggestion of Juno is good

Yep, I'd do this. Jacinta, Jemima, Jessamine, Juliet, Jemma, Julienne, Juniper are my favourite J girl names.

Joanne

Joy

Gartanbou · 24/12/2021 12:08

Joanne? This has letters of each.

They're all really nice names!

SummaLuvin · 24/12/2021 12:12

Unless you are willing to give three middle names you cannot honour them all, using a 4th name not connected to any them doesn't work for that job IMO.

SundayGirl86 · 24/12/2021 12:12

Joanna or Juno

dePfeffel · 24/12/2021 12:15

Jimothy?

SleepingStandingUp · 24/12/2021 12:16

Juno or Juniper

Theforest · 24/12/2021 12:18

Maybe just another J. Like Jemima.

Comingout0fmycage · 24/12/2021 13:20

Could always go a bit out of the box and just use July as it's a J. But then people might think you can't spell Julie.

TipseyTorvey · 24/12/2021 13:23

Just use them all. It's not like it costs anything to add them to the birth certificate. Our second ended up with three just as a laugh, but it does give her options later in life.

TeaAndStrumpets · 24/12/2021 13:57

Umm....why only 3 grannies? Is the other one called something awful?

Hohofortherobbers · 24/12/2021 14:15

She might not have 4 grannies?
