So we didn’t know what we were having but a baby girl has arrived! Yay
Brother is [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
Middle name is [name_f]Belle[/name_f] (family significance)
We were going to go with [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] but now hubby is saying he thinks [name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] might be better and now I am quite torn!
I have loved [name_f]Willow[/name_f] for years but it is quite popular in NZ where we live (number 33 on top 100) so [name_f]Juno[/name_f] would certainly be a more unique choice as it probably isn’t even in the top 1000
Would love to hear thoughts on [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] vs [name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] and what is a better sibset with [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u].
I’m not usually a fan of [name_f]Juno[/name_f] but I seem to be liking it in this case, especially paired with the feminine [name_f]Belle[/name_f]. [name_u]Juneau[/name_u] is a preferred spelling for me but that’s just personal preference. [name_f]Willow[/name_f] isn’t my favourite nature name either so that influences my preference X
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] is too wordy for my liking so I’m voting for [name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]. Plus, [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] and [name_f]Willow[/name_f] look similar with the double l’s. Does the baby look like a [name_f]Willow[/name_f] or a [name_f]Juno[/name_f]?
I like [name_f]Juno[/name_f]! I think [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] is cute too but it’s a lot of l’s and can be kind of a tongue twister. I also love the fact that [name_f]Juno[/name_f] is unique where you are. I do prefer the [name_u]Juneau[/name_u] spelling though! Good luck and congratulations
Which name do you instinctively prefer? I agree that [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] has a lot of ‘l’ sounds but the sad/liberating truth is that middle names are never again as important as we make out on name forums! She’ll always be [name_f]Willow[/name_f] (or [name_f]Juno[/name_f]) to most people. Popularity might be something to think about. [name_f]Willow[/name_f] sounds unusual to me but at #33, it’s clearly not that unusual in NZ.
I say, choose the name you love and, at this stage in the game, don’t get too name-nerdy about it!
[name_f]Juno[/name_f]! [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is wispy. Also consider [name_f]Djuna[/name_f] and [name_u]Juneau[/name_u] (to evade the movie connotation w/[name_f]Juno[/name_f]…not that it should matter).
Oh very hard to tell which she looks like! I think either would work. [name_m]Brown[/name_m] hair and small features - there is a possibility she could end up reddish though as I am a redhead and her brother is strawberry blonde.
Another vote for [name_f]Juno[/name_f]! [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is NMS and [name_f]Juno[/name_f] is an adorable match for [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]. I love that [name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] has the perfect mix of spunk, femininity, and unique-but-familiarity.
Another vote for the sweet, [name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]. I also think [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] is quite lovely.
