Juniper?

[BuffaloCauliflower]

Thoughts? For a girl, obviously (though who knows these days) surname is 3 syllables and common. Will be sister to Ivo.

I really like it.

I like it too.

I love it.

However, it is burned to remove poison and evil spirits and was used heavily during the plague. Bear that in mind.

I like it, I also like June/Junie for a nickname for her! I didn’t know about it being burned to remove evil but if anything that’s a good connotation to me - like it’s strong/protective rather than being the name of an actual poison or something!

I like it! I've never come across it as a name before, but I think it works brilliantly.

Guilty pleasure for me. I mostly like quite plain names but I have a soft spot for weird botanicals.

LOVE

@TheLightSideOfTheMoon all good! One of the meanings of Ivo is yew tree, which are also used to ward off evil spirits, so we’re down for that 🙂

Love it

Makes me think of gin or the song Jennifer Juniper.

I prefer June

I prefer Juno, but that doesn't really work as a sibling for Ivo. Juniper is nice enough though, it's interesting.

@inappropriateraspberry I’m a fan of gin so that’s a fine connection for me!

Horrible name IMO.

@DramaAlpaca I like Juno too, but yes we’ve used up our o ending names quota I think. I love names that end in o in general

@Ahf22 I like that it has a lot of nickname potential, would give her choice.

@piglet81 any other weird botanical names to offer? We like a nature related name

I really like it!

Nice but I'm not keen on the 'nipper' sound in it.

@halfsiesonapotnoodle I wasn’t sure about that at first too to be honest. In my accent it’s more Juni-per than Ju-niper, but I know it won’t be the same for all

Love it. And I’m not one for names that aren’t names. Also love Juni as a nickname

@Pixilicious1 yes we’d probably use Juni. I’m also not usually one for not name names either, my style is mostly ‘proper names but uncommonly used’, but somehow Juniper has got up there. And DH loves it.

It's cute but almost painfully trendy. It has such a moment on the naming subreddit a few years ago that it's pretty much a meme name there now and so it feels a but tired to me, even though it's not actually been that popular. I far prefer just June (though Junia is my favourite Jun- name, but in my non-rhotic accent it sounds just like junior).

I did say on a visit to a gin distillery though that if we had triplet girls I'd call them Juniper, Cassia and Angelica as I'm sure I'm need gin to cope, so the botanical theme would work well.

Love it!!

I know a Juniper but uses Juni which I slightly prefer. Its a nice name as different as a name but people can pronounce and spell it.
