What are the opinions out there on this name??

We are loving it - it would be baby number 5 so we are considering carefully the fit with siblings and we think it ticks that box also. Possible combinations are

Juniper Jean
Juniper Violet
Juniper Sunshine
Juniper Ann
Juniper Gwendolen
Juniper Mary
Juniper Eileen

Most middle names are family names, except (obviously!) Sunshine - which i just love the sound and feeling of!

Not really keen on Juniper. Sounds like trying too hard. How about June?

Juniper isn't that bad IMO
Not that I would use it myself.
It's a bit unusual but it's also far preferable to the likes of 'Jayden', 'Kayden' and 'Destiny-Lee' - all senior school children my friend teaches.

alos reminds me of this

Ann or Mary I think.

(mine is mary though!!)

Or you could go musical and call her Jennifer Juniper as in the Donovan song. I've always liked that song.

I like Juniper - I guess it would get shortened to June or Juni a lot.

No idea about a middle name though, sorry!

It's one of those names I really shouldn't like (being very much the sort of person who thinks if it's not in the Bible or Classical mythology, it's not a name), but I love it.

I agree that it needs a single-syllable middle name. Juniper Hope?

Needs a very "straight" middle name she can fall back on if necessary. Juniper Grace?

PinkyDinkyDooToo · 17/09/2008 11:08

Juniper Violet and Juniper Sunshine are great. Really like it

tummytickler · 17/09/2008 15:09

Yay - i think it is a sticker , we'll see.
I love Juniper Jean the Jumping Bean - brilliant!!!!! - i love it even more now.
And yes - siblings are the Pearl Iris, Amos and Elijah lot!!!

Reminds me of Monty Python and the Life of Brian bit about the juniper bushes with the naked man in the pit...

Juniper is a bit unusual compared to the other dc names; an odd match perhaps.

The Donovan reference goes twice. Not only Jennifer Juniper but Sunshine Superman. Are you a secret fan? I love the names.

Juniper Lee:

I think it's cute!

Juniper Lee

Sorry - is that better?
