Juniper

Thoughts?

Lovely

Please don't. What about Juno?

I'm not keen.

Ginnie would be better

Try hard

I like it.

I think it's an odd name for a human.

My cats name

I like it. Nice abbreviations too.

I’m not keen on Ginnie which is used as an abbreviation for vagina in some quarters!

I like it - nn June.
This is the name of a character in Yellowface tho - not a v sympathetic character.

I do like it, but the 'nipper' sound does put me off.

Juniper berries smell a bit funky - like pickles and alcohol. Why name a child that?

Juno is a lovely name. But I know two dogs and a duck called Juno…

I worked with a Juniper, she was known as Juni. I think that’s quite nice as a shortening.

It's not one of my favourites but I like it

Prefer June

Hmm. Honestly, it seems like one of South East London’s favourite middle-class-but-artsy names. It does sound quite nice and the toddlers I’ve met are cute. But I’d personally avoid it.

I agree with the pp’s “middle class but artsy” description above! I do love Junie though - June nn Junie maybe?

So pretty in my opinion!

Love it! And love all the nickname options - Juni, Juno, June.

Absolutely love it 😊

For a boy or girl?

It reminds of this song (and I wouldn't be able to stop myself singing it to them)

Agree

I like it very much but prefer Junia

I always had an idea in my head of naming a daughter Juniper Wren to honour a family name - Jennifer. (Wren being the middle name, not hyphenated).

The song Jennifer Juniper, and her nickname Jenny Wren.

I met a sweet little Juniper this year and her mum said she picked it because Juniper is a tree that can thrive in harsh conditions, I thought that was nice. I get the ‘middle class try hard’ vibes a little too but June and Juni are lovely shortening’s.

I like.it a lot. Not frilly. Cool kid. Similar feel to Scout, Indie etc.
