Juno??????????????????

[Dalrymps]

I'm not pregnant and haven't even started ttc yet but dh and I were just kicking round ideas.

I like the sound of Juno (I know it's also a movie about a pregnant teen)

It sounds nice with our surname... But, you think it's a bit too out there?

I like it (not that I would use it myslf though) but everyone will ask if you named her after the girl in that film.

like it a lot

Hmmm, actually now I've said it, it's nice. Like a short version of Junior, but better. It works.

Wouldn't a Juno have to be born in June though - wasn't she the looking forward/looking back at the year goddess or something like that?

Well, I think she's the goddess of marriage and fidelity and stuff like that. June is the month of marriage because of that but I don't think she'd necessarily have to be born in June...

I'm a bit old fashioned like that - y'know, April should be born in April and Holly around Christmas

I think Juno is a nice enough name - nothing seems to be 'too out there' judging by some of the name threads on here . Why not just go with good old fashioned 'June' though?

I thought it was a boy's name for some reason.

Your surname's not Watt is it?

The looking backwards an forwards one is Janus - hence January.

Juno I could be persuaded to like.
Janus would, I think, be just a leeetle step too far!

I say June and I just think of an old lady, nice but not for me

No, my surname isn't Watt , it's Dalrymple (Hence my username) Pronounced Dal-rimple. We already have a Dylan McGregor.

Juno and Dylan sounds ok I think?

I would assume it was a boy if I heard it - it's kind of OK for a boy, but to me it doesn't sound right for a girl, sorry
I think it's because it sounds like something boys would call each other, you know, when they take a name and add 'O' to it as a nickname.

There's a Mary Wesley book with a Juno as the main character, can#t remember what it is called... nice person in the book though!

Isn't Juno the name of the dog in Me Too?

Or Junie, Juna (just made that one up!), Judy, Julie/Julia, Judith, Jennie. Sorry, I'm interfering now. I'll get my coat

Juno Dalrymple? Hmm.... I don't think the two names go well together at all.

Georgina Dalrymple
Julia Dalrymple

I think Juno is also a name for the 80's film 'Bettle Juice'. Where it's a name of a case worker from the otherside, maybe no one's seen the film but it is good

I think they go together well but you're entitled to your oppinion

Don't think I like any other jun esq names, too comonly used.

I can see that it might sound like a boys nickname, that doesn't reaaly bother me as such.

Not really struck on Georgina or Julia, not unusual enough for me.

I've seen Beetlejuice several times, great film!

Juno sounds too like "D'you know?"

Giulia
Juniper
Giovanna

Love it!!!

Ha ha, yeah it does sound like D'you know! That's actually quite funny . D'you know Juno?

Thanks Barbie

I like it
and Dalrymple is a great surname

Thanks! I like my surname too

I think it's lovely! Also like Hero, in the same(ish) vein
