We have a little girl due next month and cant decide on a name. We have a little boy called Woody, we knew he was a Woody all the way through our pregnancy.

We have settled down to Evianna or Juniper, Juniper isn't very popular where we are and I've never met one although I do know the name is very popular elsewhere.

Or any other suggestions for a girl that goes with Woody

I feel that Juniper and Woody don't match because Woody is any wood whereas Juniper would be a specific species, if you get what I mean.

Evianna is too close to Evian brand to my personal taste.

What about Hazel, it is less tree species or wood yet matches?
Birdie - generic like wood? River or Brook(e)?

Other nature names Moss, Sage, Sorrel, Clover, Flora or Petal or Blossom (again matching in how generic it is)

Juniper is such a good match with Woody. Just perfect!

Evianna has too many pronunciations / spellings and would be a pain imo

Evianna will just end up being yet another Evie in the endless sea of Evie’s. I only know one Juniper.

All the names suggested on here are horrendous in my opinion.
there are plenty of names books and apps out there

HugoThatway · 02/08/2026 19:37

That's your opinion. Baby names offers more than a book or app could ever do.
A book won't be honest with you or say something like 'sounds like bottled water' or 'she'll be another Evie'.

Evianna looks like you named her after a bottle of water and Juniper sounds like a pet rabbit.

Jessica is really nice and goes well with Woody.

Woody and Jessie? What are they - antique rag dolls?

Toy Story legends 🤣

Evianna sounds made up and twee.

Juniper is nice but trendy.

Woody and… Piper / Elowen / Cleo / Sunny / Romy ?

HugoThatway · 03/08/2026 20:46

Well spotted, @Jamjam12 !

TheBayHorse · 03/08/2026 21:08

Juniper is trying too hard to be cool IMO. I like Junie as a nickname and would just go with that.

Evianna is fussy. Anna or Eve are nicer.

PrettyLittleRose · 03/08/2026 21:11

Has to be Evie. Evianna is awful, and JUNIPER?! Gawd, don't do that to your little girl @Roxyroxroxrox 😬

EvelynBeatrice · 03/08/2026 21:38

Juniper is lovely. Junie as an abbreviation is very pretty ( you must buy the US children’s book series featuring Junie B Jones - hilarious).

Astrid is another name I think is pretty. Brianna and Briony (Briar) are in a similar ballpark.
