My Grandmothers name was [name_u]June[/name_u] and I would love to honor her by using it in some way, but it’s just too popular for my style. Plus I don’t think it goes well with our other kids names. So, are there any cool/spunky variations other than the obvious [name_f]Juno[/name_f]?
[name_f]Junia[/name_f] was the first thing that came to mind. Good luck!
The only names I can think of are [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] & [name_u]Juneau[/name_u] (which I like less than [name_f]Juno[/name_f]). But you can always smoosh it.
Other than the ones already mentioned, [name_f]Juna[/name_f] is the only other one I can think of.
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] was my first thought. I absolutely adore this name. It has such a bright, fresh, springtime feel.
Would you be open to a double-barrel first name? I particularly like it paired with names that have the same U sound: [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]-[name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Susie[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Sukey[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Luisa[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u]. Other ideas: [name_f]Katie[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Mira[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Lila[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u].
[name_f]Junia[/name_f] is a more classic way to go for a variation of [name_u]June[/name_u].
[name_f]Juno[/name_f] is unique and free-spirited.
[name_f]Juna[/name_f] to me is a cross between [name_f]Junia[/name_f] and [name_f]Juno[/name_f], classic while still being unique.
I think [name_f]Junia[/name_f] looks best with [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], and [name_m]Foster[/name_m].
Though I think [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] & [name_f]Juno[/name_f] look awesome together.
My favorite variations of [name_u]June[/name_u] are [name_f]Juno[/name_f] and [name_f]Junia[/name_f], but I’ve also heard:
[name_f]Junelle[/name_f]/[name_f]Junella[/name_f], [name_f]Junette[/name_f], [name_f]Junae[/name_f], [name_f]Junine[/name_f]
Thanks for all the replies! I haven’t had a chance to check on this thread since I posted it. 
I do like [name_f]Junia[/name_f] and [name_u]Juniper[/name_u].
But I really love Alzoras recommendation of a smush type of name. I had thought about putting [name_u]June[/name_u] first, but not second!
[name_m]How[/name_m] about:
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Aggie[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Ruthie[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u]
Any other ideas?! [name_f]Do[/name_f] any of these go well with my sibset?
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_m]Foster[/name_m], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u] is breathtaking.
I also like [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Sara[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Mia[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u]… I know they’re all popular, but she’ll be the only [name_f]Mia[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u] even if they’re another [name_f]Mia[/name_f]!
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Djuna[/name_f] (the D is silent)?
No other input? 
I don’t mind that those are more popular names janna, they’re just not my style. 
[name_f]Jana[/name_f]
[name_f]Janae[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Juna[/name_f] of the names already mentioned.
There is [name_f]Juliane[/name_f] or [name_u]Julianne[/name_u] (which contains all the letters in [name_u]June[/name_u])
I’m going to second [name_f]Djuna[/name_f] (d is silent)
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u] is darling!
Go for [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], I think. Beautiful, not common. Elvish and ethereal.
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] or even [name_u]June[/name_u] in its original form would be my pick. I think [name_u]June[/name_u] works well with your kids’ names, actually! Third choice would be sylvie-june, but I’d prefer a ‘complete’ version with any double barrel names, and to me [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] is more complete than sylvie, even if you always call her sylvie-june. (same with the others you mentioned, like maisie-june, I’d like it better if maisie-june was short for [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] - [name_u]June[/name_u], even if you never used [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]… just how I feel!)
Some other versions:
Iunia/Iounia
Jeunesse (has the same meaning as [name_u]June[/name_u], although it isn’t a given name)
[name_f]Mabyn[/name_f] (same meaning as [name_u]June[/name_u])
I love [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u]!

[name_f]Mary[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u] (too close to [name_f]Mary[/name_f]-[name_f]Jane[/name_f]?)
[name_f]Edith[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u]
However if I didn’t have to use [name_u]June[/name_u] I think these names go great with your kids.
