Thoughts on this name for a baby girl? Living in uk. Thanks x

I'm sure that's a name in a song. Maybe Beautiful South....?

It's nice but maybe a bit out there.

Open the door and shout "juniper time for tea" and see how it sounds. Imagine a teacher saying it in class or another child in the playground or whatever and see if you still think it's a possibility.

I now have this Donovan ear-worm

Jennifer Juniper, sitting very still
Is she sleeping? I don't think so
Is she breathing? Yes, very low

I thought of that song too!

OP - go for it. Great name and a great song.

Not keen but it's not awful

I love it 🥰

I prefer June 🙂

I've adored it for 5 years. To me it sounds sensible and grown up bit still allows for sweet nick names when younger.

Love it

I think it's lovely! The nicknames Juno and Juni are really cute too.

Luredbyapomegranate · 27/02/2022 19:40

God no, it’s up there with Peaches Honeyblossom and other stupid celeb kid names. It’ll be cute until she’s 7 and then ridiculous.

June, Juno, Jemima - all good

That brings back lovely memories! My Dad used to play that song to me when I was little, and he made me believe it was written especially for me. I'm a Jennifer, not a Juniper.

@halfsiesonapotnoodle

I do like it but the 'nipper' noise at the end does put me off!
I quite like it but the obvious nickname would be Nipper.

Sounds like an anti-Semite thug. "He's a Jew nipper, is our Reggie. Can't stand 'em."
