Love Juno and Juniper. Not fussed on Raven and the others are somewhere in between for me

HuggingtheHRT · 05/03/2023 18:42

Juno and Juniper are OK.

Raven is just plain awful. Have you read Edgar Allen Poe?

fajitaaaa · 05/03/2023 18:43

Not going to lie I don't like any of them.

fruitandfibreg · 05/03/2023 18:48

Love juniper!! Mila is cute but js everywhere. I know a Raven actually. Love alexis

Luredbyapomegranate · 05/03/2023 20:56

Alexis is my favourite and I like Juno

Don’t like the rest

I absolutely love Juniper/Juno. Had to take it off my list because of a friend having a Juno. Still love it though

lemonmama · 05/03/2023 21:16

I think Juno is nice. And Mila is ok but becoming very popular. Alexis makes me think of the Amazon Alexa Grin
Juniper I don't like but not sure why

Mumofgirls2017 · 05/03/2023 22:03

Love Juniper/ Juno

LuckyThatMyBreastsAreSmallAndHumble · 05/03/2023 22:40

Mila is nice.

My favourites are Juniper and Alexis both for second names.
I like them in their full name state - not fan of their nn.

Raven and Mila are not offensive but not of my style.

OliviaFlaversham · 06/03/2023 03:52

Raven is dreadful.

Mila sounds like something medical.

Alexis is ok. Prefer Alexa but can see the issues with that.

Juniper/Juno would be my pick. I used to not understand the like for the name Juniper but I have warmed to it.

DurdleSnore · 06/03/2023 06:59

Although they are not to my personal taste, my favourite would be Juno, least favourite Raven. Have you considered Alexia?

Love raven

Juniper / Juno - Juniper just makes me think of gin to be honest. Juno is nice enough, names ending in O are very on trend at the moment, but that may mean it will date if it gets more popular over the next few years. It's nice enough just wouldn't be my choice

Mila - I was surprised how popular this is as it seems to have come out if nowhere. I always question how this is meant to be pronounced - Miller or Myla? I'm not the biggest fan. If you want Myla I would provably spell it that way to avoid confusion

Raven - first thing I think of is 'that's so raven' (born in the late 80s) but other than that, it's ok. Ive always thought it sounds a bit masculine. I would worry it will be hard to pull off for an introverted child / woman.

Alexis - i really like this and know a lovely 10 year old Alexis. I also really like Alexa (though understand why people are now avoiding that). This is my favourite of your choices by far.

Sorry that was quite long!

In order of preference I would go Alexis, Juno, Raven, Mila

FayCarew · 06/03/2023 10:06

Juniper / Juno - Juniper would be a better name for a pet rabbit. Juno a lot to live up to.
Mila - Mealy. Seems samey with Mia, Maia, Maya, Lila, Layla etc
Raven - Raving. A treachery/unkindness/conspiracy of ravens. Nn Rave?
Alexis - Fine, slightly masculine but I only know one and she's pre-Dynasty.

Me too, but I'd bin Mila.

Love Juniper! It was on my list but we're having a boy!
