@augusta_lee- I’m with you on those points!
I Prefur [name]Dune[/name] or [name]Jun[/name].
[name]June[/name] is one of those names that’s gaining in popularity and is not knowen as a unisex name. people reading his name will assume girl, so getting refured to as she, miss, ms, mrs is a real possibility.
[name]How[/name] about [name]March[/name]?
I just remembered – the boy protagonist in the Spy Kids was called [name]Junie[/name]!
I like the idea a lot!
I can see a [name]Junior[/name] being called [name]June[/name], but I actually would love to see it as the actual first name on a boy!
I don’t know whether I like [name]June[/name] for a boy or not, but I do know that I like both [name]Junius[/name] and [name]Junot[/name]. Good luck!
I personally like it.
I sort of measure unisex names by a little system.
-
Are there *full names that rhyme?
So like you said there’s [name]Dune[/name], and there’s also [name]Boone[/name], and [name]Rune[/name]. So why not [name]June[/name]?
*([name]Zoe[/name] and [name]Chloe[/name] for example, do not work, as [name]Joey[/name] is only a nickname.) -
Is it very popular for only one gender?
[name]Avery[/name] and [name]Noah[/name] may work for both genders, but they are very popular and almost solely used for only girl and boy. [name]June[/name] is not extremely widely used as a girls name as of late, so I think it’s fine.
(This rule is very subjective, and should not be used as a definitive decision maker) -
[name]Just[/name] focusing on the sound alone, how do I feel about it?
Does it sound feminine, masculine, or neither? -
Origin of the Name
Months, surnames, and seasons don’t have genders. This rule is moot though if it conflicts with another one. (Example [name]April[/name] and [name]Summer[/name] are too popular as girl names, [name]August[/name] and [name]Parker[/name] likewise as boy names). -
Ask someone impartial
Yes people on nameberry count, but I’d also try asking someone else, as I think the opinions of people here are skewed, in a more creative, grey area, daring type of way
These obviously don’t always work though. Its just sort of a guideline I try to follow. Let’s face it, the whole boy name/girl name thing is totally nonsense, and doesn’t actually have any rhyme or reason to it, but it is how it is sometimes.
I prefer the spelling [name]Dune[/name] as it makes it look more masculine.
while its on some peoples signatures i dont think [name]Juniper[/name] has been suggested yet
also [name]June[/name] IS a girl name, no boy would want it as a first OR middle name.
society creating ‘gender roles’ is just natural. there are males and females. we are different and have different characteristics that occur in us naturally. seems weird that so many people fight this and their own natures. people are free to change and chose who they want to be in life, but it seems those are the ones that have a problem and cant accept themselves as they are and are obsessed with changing themselves into what they want opposed to what they are.
this a good case in which to listen to society. there is a reason its ‘won’ in this front.
plus there are plenty of better and more inventive options as everyone has pointed out anyway.
ps [name]Juni[/name]'s name in Spy Kids is Junito [name]Rocket[/name] [name]Racer[/name] [name]Rebel[/name] “[name]Juni[/name]” [name]Cortez[/name]. His three middle names are those of director [name]Robert[/name] [name]Rodriguez[/name]'s eldest sons.
- let us note that [name]Rodriguez[/name] didnt pick Junito as a name for his kids, hint hint, though i dont suggest any of the names he did pick lol.
and if we all remember correctly [name]Juni[/name] wasnt exactly popular. looks like it is really an Americanized variation of [name]Juanito[/name] when considering the rest of his families names. [name]June[/name] in Spanish is Junio which doesnt add any masculinity or charm.
While the idea of [name]June[/name] for a boy may be appealing, I don’t think you would be doing a son any favors naming him that. It is very feminine.
This, exactly. For this type of question, I think you would be better off asking non-name nerds their opinions. 
I really kind of like it. I mean, it’s no worse than [name]Ashley[/name] or [name]Lesley[/name] on a boy. And there is just as much teasing potential for a boy named [name]Ashley[/name] as there is for one named [name]June[/name]. So go with it if you really, really love it. I think it would work great in the middle spot or with an identifiably masculine name to back it.
