Oh and I should add that if we use [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] we will probably use the nn [name_f]Flo[/name_f] or [name_f]Florrie[/name_f]…I know it is weird to lengthen a name but I love [name_f]Florrie[/name_f] and [name_f]Flo[/name_f] but won’t use [name_f]Florence[/name_f] as where we live it is extremely popular. We also love [name_f]Flora[/name_f] but can’t use it as it is a very very popular butter over here!
And for anybody that doesn’t know how to pronounce [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] it like Blur!!
[name_f]Fleur[/name_f] - I just feel it could fit more types of women than [name_f]Juno[/name_f] could. But obviously that’s just my opinion - they’re both lovely names.
[name_f]Fleur[/name_f].
Although [name_f]Juno[/name_f] is an undoubtedly female name, I just prefer male names end in -o and female names end in -a. [name_m]Just[/name_m] my personal perference
I’m sorry, but I do not like either one of those names. [name_f]Juno[/name_f] does not seem feminine to me at all, maybe as middle name I wouldn’t mind it though. And the first thing I think of is the movie, and personally I wouldn’t want to think of a pregnant 16 year old every time I called my daughters name!
As far as [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] goes, I don’t think it is very pleasing to the ear, but I do like the femininity of it. If [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_f]Flora[/name_f] are so popular near you, wouldn’t [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] kind of fall into that category anyways, and thus also be popular? Have you thought about using an actual flower name for you child; like [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Calla[/name_f], etc?
I’m sorry, I hope you still use whatever name you love though 
I love both names but they give off different vibes. [name_f]Juno[/name_f] is spunky, quirky, creative and otherworldly. [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] is dainty, sweet, girlish and feminine. I don’t like [name_f]Flo[/name_f] or [name_f]Florrie[/name_f]. I think they take away from the simplicity of the name. [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] is fine on her own. It’s short and chic.
I like both these names in slightly less popular forms.
[name_f]Djuna[/name_f] (which is pronounced with a slight ch sound with the J) after the writer [name_f]Djuna[/name_f] [name_m]Barnes[/name_m]
Floraison (flowering in [name_m]French[/name_m])
Fleurit (pronounced [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] rie, meaning in blossom in [name_m]French[/name_m])
[name_f]Fleur[/name_f] brings to mind [name_f]Spring[/name_f], newness, delicate blossoms, and in general seems like a light, playful, spirited kind of name.
[name_f]Juno[/name_f] sounds more substantial. It’s a name with strong, long vowels, and it also brings to mind gorgeous [name_u]June[/name_u] nights, and classical myths to those who recognize its origins. It’s a name a girl can carry at any age, as appropriate for a mature woman as a young one.
So I lean towards [name_f]Juno[/name_f]… maybe I haven’t met the right [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] yet, to give me a different association.
The couple in the late 1980s-1990s British TV show [name_f]May[/name_f] to [name_u]December[/name_u] had a little girl named [name_f]Fleur[/name_f], so having seen the name used there, I see it fitting a sweet, pretty toddler. I have a harder time picturing a grown woman carrying the name, for some reason.
[name_m]Both[/name_m] names are lovely.
I think [name_f]Juno[/name_f] fit’s my personality more so I would probably choose it over
[name_f]Fleur[/name_f] but they are both equally beautiful and it’s hard to choose between the two.
I think [name_f]Juno[/name_f] is a stronger, sturdier and more grounded name. It speaks to me of strength and nobility of an old oak tree.
[name_f]Fleur[/name_f] on the other hand is soft, flowing, and gentle like a summer breeze.
