Help! Names like Juno?

Girl Names
1

I am due with a little girl very soon, and throughout this pregnancy I had the hardest time deciding on her name. I eventually settled on [name_f]Juno[/name_f] only to find out it’s the name my cousin has chosen for one of her new puppies! She must really be into [name_m]Roman[/name_m] mythology, as the other puppy’s name is [name_m]Jove[/name_m] - well, anyway, the name is ruined for me now and I need to find another one!

What are some names similar to [name_f]Juno[/name_f]? I’m already considering [name_f]Lux[/name_f], [name_u]Romy[/name_u], [name_f]Theda[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_u]Hero[/name_u] and [name_f]Margo[/name_f], but I would love some more ideas.

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you feel about [name_f]Junia[/name_f] or [name_u]June[/name_u] which are both lovely but not the same name as [name_f]Juno[/name_f]? I also like [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] (zan-THEE) for you.

Can you talk to her about changing the name? I think baby should trump puppy name.

[name_f]Alba[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f]

[name_f]Cora[/name_f]

[name_f]Harlow[/name_f]
[name_f]Honor[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]

I was going to suggest [name_u]Romy[/name_u] before I saw it was on your list! You seem to like short, punchy names that aren’t too frilly, especially with a mythological connection, so what about:

[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_f]Clio[/name_f]/[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u]
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f]
[name_f]Iona[/name_f]/[name_f]Ione[/name_f]/[name_f]Io[/name_f]
[name_f]Anouk[/name_f]
[name_f]Bethan[/name_f]
Maëlle
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f] (pronounced “neev”)
[name_f]Fleur[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Elora[/name_f]
[name_f]Lark[/name_f]
[name_u]Malin[/name_u]
[name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f]/[name_u]Rhian[/name_u] (ree-in)
[name_f]Maris[/name_f]
[name_u]Seren[/name_u] (seh-ren)

I like [name_u]Romy[/name_u] or [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] best out of your other choices. I can’t see the name [name_u]Hero[/name_u] on a girl at all. It looks too masculine and ripe for school-age heckling.

Thanks everyone! I actually considered [name_f]Junia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Juno[/name_f] but eventually decided I want a completely unrelated name.

I particularly like these suggestions:
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f]
[name_f]Una[/name_f]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] - already on my list
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] - already on my list
[name_f]Indie[/name_f]
[name_f]Uma[/name_f]
[name_f]Zelda[/name_f]
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f]
[name_f]Anouk[/name_f]
[name_u]Dagny[/name_u]
[name_f]Rumi[/name_f]

What are your thoughts on [name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f]?

10

[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is lovely! I also have to second the suggestions of [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Zelda[/name_f], and [name_f]Indie[/name_f].

11

My first thought was [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]! :slight_smile:

[name_f]Romilly[/name_f]
[name_f]Calla[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Anais[/name_f]
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u]
[name_f]Neva[/name_f]
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f]
[name_f]Fleur[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
[name_f]Orla[/name_f]
[name_f]Talia[/name_f]
[name_f]Jora[/name_f]
[name_f]Ismay[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivalo[/name_f]
[name_u]Rohan[/name_u]

12

[name_u]Hero[/name_u]!!!
But [name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is a beautiful choice, I would add a second middle name - something it’s missing in this combo…

13

[name_u]Ara[/name_u]/[name_f]Aira[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Zosia[/name_f]
[name_f]Saskia[/name_f]
[name_f]Anya[/name_f]
[name_f]Mila[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f]
[name_f]Fia[/name_f]
[name_f]Nyla[/name_f]
[name_f]Nola[/name_f]
[name_f]Thora[/name_f]
[name_f]Una[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f]
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f]

14

Another person in favor of [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]!
Also seconding [name_f]Ione[/name_f] and [name_f]Cleo[/name_f].
[name_u]Echo[/name_u] or [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] could also be a good option for you.
