4 weeks left and second thoughts!

Ok Berries can you please help? I thought we’d found THE perfect name: [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Carys[/name]. I still adore [name]Juniper[/name] and feel it’s PERFECT but I keep feeling like [name]Carys[/name] is a little too out there to go with the already kind of different [name]Juniper[/name]. So what do you think? And either way can you give me some suggestions of names you think go good with [name]Juniper[/name]? [name]Just[/name] no double Js and no double nature names please. I appreciate it!

I don’t think [name]Carys[/name] is too out there.

I like the name pairing! [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Carys[/name] is beautiful!

[name]Veronica[/name]
[name]Elise[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Louise[/name]
[name]Mae[/name]/[name]May[/name]

[name]Carys[/name] is very pretty.

I like [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Carys[/name] a lot. If you would like something more classic instead of [name]Carys[/name], how about [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] or [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Celeste[/name]?

I think [name]Carys[/name] is lovely but since [name]Juniper[/name] is rather naturey and whimsical it seems like a more substantial, classic name might go better. [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Carys[/name] definitely works though if you decide you love it! I like the suggestions of [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Elise[/name] or [name]Louise[/name]/[name]Louisa[/name].

I think [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Carys[/name] is swoon worthy! I do like [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] if you wanted the middle a little more mainstream, but would you always feel as if you settled, just to please what a few people might think you “should” do? I honestly don’t think it is out there, especially considering anything goes (in my book) when it comes to middle names! [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Carys[/name] truly is gorgeous.

I love [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Carys[/name]!!!

Ok well you are making me feel better. I do love it too. And I wouldn’t pick a name solely on what others think… but it seems like everyones reaction to [name]Juniper[/name] is oh thats pretty or, at worst, thats different, but when I tell them the MN is [name]Carys[/name] its like a switch goes off in their brain, they say Oh and I can see all the way to the back of there skull. haha. Maybe its because I live in [name]Texas[/name] and the “norm” for baby names is more like [name]Billy[/name] [name]Joe[/name] (regardless of gender) [name]Betty[/name] [name]Sue[/name] and [name]Susie[/name] [name]Mae[/name]. LOL! No offense intended by the way…

I think you’re right about your community. If it makes you feel better, [name]Carys[/name] came into Welsh from the Greek “[name]Charis[/name],” meaning “love” [it’s our root for the word charity. In Latin, it’s Caritas]. It’s been used in the [name]Christian[/name] Church as both a virtue to emulate and a girls’ name for 2 millennia. It’s not “out there” at all; in fact, it’s farther in than [name]Juniper[/name], and than about 99% of most modern girls’ names.

Thanks blade! I’m glad to know that! I guess its pretty common in the Welsh community right?

I love it when people raise the bar! Why settle? She’ll have TWO GREAT names! Go for it :slight_smile:

I love [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Carys[/name] but if you are seriously nervous, how about [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Cara[/name]?

I think it is beautiful! However, I see what you mean. A softer middle name might be nice as well. [name]How[/name] about:

[name]Juniper[/name] [name]Mae[/name]
[name]Juniper[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Juniper[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Juniper[/name] [name]Lila[/name]

Oh! I really like [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Cara[/name]! Its very similar but not too plain and not too out there… Oh bother but I still like [name]Carys[/name] a lot too… What to do. What to do… Haha. I feel a pole coming on. :wink:

P.S. sorry if I’m being annoying about this. I just want her name to be perfect. I have two other DDs and with #2 her name is perfect to me. I love it! But with #1 I settled and I still feel a little dissatisfied when I think about it and I hate that! Weather [name]Carys[/name] or [name]Cara[/name] or whatever I don’t want to feel like its less than perfect for her.
