Sister for Juno

[squidlady]

Hello! I'm due my second DD in July and completely STUMPED for names. My first is Juno, which DH and I decided on very early on and never wavered on - it's frustrating this time to have no clear favourite (not even a shortlist really!)

I really like Romy but DH has vetoed because of Boris.

We both like Zadie but aren't 100% - do you think Zadie goes with Juno?

Quite keen on some other Z names - Zora, Zia, Zena - but again not totally there!

Any ideas? Drawn to shortish, strong, not-super-common names. Any suggestions very appreciated!

Juno is great and has a good history behind it, so I think you want something that stands up to that - whereas some of your front runners are a bit insubstantial

Lois
Jocelyn
Carys
Inez
Ffion
Tara
Annis
Arran
Merryn
Thora
Aster
Astra
Seren
Alba
Hera
Circe
Aphra
Zoe
Vita

Or longer names

Sabrina
Yolanda
Ramona
Saskia
Ione
Selene
Ianthe
Ariadne (Ari)
Vivienne (Vivi)

I actually do associate Romy with Boris, which is a shame, but I get where he is coming from there. Some suggestions,

Alva
Cecily
Daphne
Erin
Freya
Iona
Layla
Ophelia
Ramona
Romily
Rowan
Seren
Thea
Zara

My 5 imaginary daughters are
Juno
Astrid
Romy
Eden
Zelda

Not keen on Zadie. People will call her Sadie.

Zara, Zuri, Xanthe, Opal, Clia, Hazel, Olive, Sanna, Astrid,

I love Romy. I would never think of Boris in conjunction with Romy.

I also think Zosie/a would work well with Juno

Or Minerva. But I just love Minerva.

Or maybe Luna.

Romy
Ruby
Seren
Anya

Thisbe, of course.

Juno & Willa

Juno & Eden

Juno & Cosima

Juno & Stella

Juno & Gia are both beautiful names with that same kinda vibes but some don’t like them too matchy

Juno & Aphra

Juno & Goldie

Hebe was my first thought! I love!

Thank SO much for all these amazing suggestions! I love so many of them. Gave me a lot of food for thought!

As it turns out my OH has done a complete 360 on Romy (having discovered tragic German actress Romy Schneider, very cool Romy from the xx and re-watched Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion) - so I’m getting my way, yesssss!! 😂

Trouble is, I’d like her middle name to be Sarah after my mum which would make her initials RSJ (I.e. Rolled Steel Joist 😆) - could that be a problem or is it a pleasingly sturdy association?

rock solid @squidlady . RSJ - What does RSJ stand for? The Free Dictionary

Oh great, I think Romy is so perfect with Juno! I’d never have thought of rolled steel joist, so I think RSJ is absolutely fine for her initials :)

Stella
Maeve
Astrid
Piper
Winter
Violet
Ivy
Iris
Enid
Frankie
Billie
Stevie

My first thoughts were:

Eartha
Gaia
Rhea
Zelda
Zinnia

Juno and Zadie are a great pairing

I also love Romy and bloody Boris ruined it a bit.

Alma is good too
Mina? Mara? Or Lola

Juno and
Elsa.
Eden
Anya.
Zara.
Kira.
Kaya.
Indie.
Nova.
Fern.
Enya.
Rosa.
Saskia.
Melody

Romy Sarah is beautiful and the RSJ doesn't matter at all
