Juniper and ?

Sister name for Juniper. Have the following list, DH and I can't agree on much! He likes semi-nature themed but not too matchy with Juniper (nn Juni) and I like some of the more vintage/classic names. Current list is May and Fern but struggling with middle names as they are both one syllable. I liked Alexandra as a middle but they are veoted. Could not bother with a middle but my eldest has the same middle as me and feel bad not giving the new baby a middle.

May
Fern

Others on my shortlist are Faye, Robin, Chloe, Elodie.

Any other ideas or help with middles very welcome!
(Names I love but DH doesn't are things like Harriet, Tabitha, Thea)

Juniper is brilliant!

How about:

  • Clementine
  • Heather
  • Erica (same meaning as Heather I think)
  • Delilah
  • Marigold
  • Lavender
  • Penelope
  • Sorrel
  • Verity
  • Xenia

I think that I would avoid another botanical name such as Fern.
Isn't Robyn usually the feminine spelling, or have I mixed that up? 🤔

Wren would go nicely.
Faye is also lovely. Something like Nell or Tess would be pretty too.

I love Faye not so keen on Chloe only because there were so many when dc was young. Also like Wren, Ottilie and Cicely (Sissy for short). Too many pretty girl names

Marigold would be lovely.

Allosaur · 28/04/2023 02:31

We have very similar taste in names! Elodie and Fern were in my list of middle names too and Juniper was a maybe! What about Aoife, Effie, Heather, Esther, Evie, Evelyn? Do you like celtic names? :)
