I’m not expecting or anything, but I was having a think about some names I like, and [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] (nickname [name_u]June[/name_u], and would probably go by [name_u]June[/name_u] most of the time) is definitely in my top names. The only problem is that a close family member has a child called [name_f]April[/name_f]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think having the two kids [name_f]April[/name_f] and [name_u]June[/name_u] would be ridiculous, or sound too “copycat-ish” ? I really do love the name [name_u]June[/name_u], and it has significance for my partner and me.
Another quick, family related issue is middle names…Would you give your child the same middle name as another child in the family if you really loved it? Or is that a no-go?
I think its fine. If they don’t like it they can refer to her as [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] - or perhaps [name_f]Juno[/name_f] or Juney or Junebug or some other cute nickname.
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] nn june and same middle name? No, that kind of combo would be just too similar. If you must, pick one, [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] is better option. I’m sure there are lots of other pretty middle names.
I think both are absolutely fine! Is the child called [name_f]April[/name_f] the one with the middle name you like or is that someone else? In the first case I think using the same middle name may be a bit much - but still not terrible.
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] with family member [name_f]April[/name_f] is fine. [name_m]Even[/name_m] if she does go by [name_u]June[/name_u] most of the time. You could always spell the nn Joon a la [name_m]Benny[/name_m] and Joon (who’s name was [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]).
Middles names are no big deal. Unless you’re using a super uncommon one like [name_f]Vashti[/name_f] or something then I can’t see it being a problem.
Though if you’re thinking about using family member [name_f]April[/name_f]'s middle name, then that might be another issue.
No, the middle name is of someone else (not [name_f]April[/name_f]'s), but I’m not as bothered about using that name as I am with [name_u]June[/name_u]. I really have my heart set on [name_u]June[/name_u]!
I think both are fine. [name_m]Even[/name_m] if you were using [name_u]June[/name_u] with [name_f]April[/name_f]'s common middle name. [name_f]My[/name_f] cousins are [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Christine[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and a [name_u]Sydney[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] isn’t a family name. [name_f]My[/name_f] grandmother called them [name_f]Colly[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f] and [name_f]Chrissy[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f] for a while, too.
