I voted for [name_f]Juno[/name_f], but my very favorite [name_m]Jun[/name_m]- name would have to be [name_f]Junia[/name_f]

[name_u]June[/name_u]. Absolutely gorgeous, simple beauty. I met the loveliest elderly lady named [name_u]June[/name_u], and the encounter totally warmed me up to the name.

I love [name_f]Juno[/name_f] on other people’s children, but is a little too bold for me, in some way. [name_u]June[/name_u] is the perfect balance of sweet and sassy, I think! Also, while I adore the nature connection of [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], I cannot shake the sound association with jumper. Argh, right?

I like [name_u]June[/name_u] best. There’s something about the sound of [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] I don’t care for. [name_f]Juno[/name_f] still reminds me of the film.

I love [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]! [name_u]June[/name_u] is sweet too but can easily be a nn for [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]. [name_f]Juno[/name_f] is nms and reminds me of a dog name.

[name_f]Juno[/name_f]. I love the film too, which is a bonus.

Such an even split so far! Was not expecting this.

I’m curious about what kind of imagery people associate with each name? [name_m]How[/name_m] is a little [name_f]Juno[/name_f] different in your mind from a little [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]?

I haven’t voted because I love all three about the same. In terms of imagery, [name_u]June[/name_u] I get a more sunny, settled vibe…I wouldn’t be surprised to see it on a sweet, demure girl, whereas [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_f]Juno[/name_f] both seem a little sassier. But I think any of the three can support a range of personalities.

I love [name_u]June[/name_u]! It’s classic, but underused. [name_f]Juno[/name_f] makes me think of the movie and [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] I just don’t personally care for.

[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] is spunky, and I like that it’s a nature name. You could easily get [name_u]June[/name_u] as a nickname, too, so it’s a two for one. [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] just sounds fresh and fun without being over the top.

[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] is one of my own personal favourites (with [name_f]Juno[/name_f] as nickname). I love the look and sound of [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]: zesty and different without being too out-there. [name_f]Juno[/name_f] is great as is too, but unfortunately I do still think ‘quirky teen-pregnancy film’ when she’s on her own which does turn me off it a teeny bit, but that association’s dying fast nowadays.

[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] with the nickname [name_u]June[/name_u] is amazing!!

[name_f]Juno[/name_f] reminds me of the film too much.

I used to love [name_f]Junia[/name_f] until I realised it sounded too much like ‘junior’ :frowning:

[name_u]June[/name_u] is kinda boring to me. [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] is alright, I just vastly prefer [name_f]Juno[/name_f]. The film was before my time so I think of the goddess.

Jane is plain. And I feel like I should, but I don’t care for Juniper. Just nms I guess. And yes maybe I think of the movie but its been long enough and I think it’d be cute to see a little Juno.

ETA: votes - Jane 26, Juno 25, Juniper 24, tight race!

I love them all but I voted [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] :slight_smile: [name_u]June[/name_u] and [name_f]Juno[/name_f] would be awesome nicknames for [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]!
