Re: Juniper/June
in reply to a message by Jacquielle
While I have never met a June, I think that one would be completely accepted by the general public. It doesn't seem out there at all.
Juniper is less common, but I think it's still usable. People might make a comment about it being a bit unusual, but I think it'd be easier to get used to pronouncing and spelling than Esme.
I'd say go for it! Chances are that people will already be expecting you to choose a non-mainstream name. :o) And have you thought of Juno as a nickname for Juniper? I like that one a lot.
For Juniper, I'd go with a one syllable middle name I think. For some reason I'm feeling the alliteration at the moment:
Juniper Jade
Juniper Jane
Juniper Joy
But not everyone likes alliteration (I don't with most letters):
Juniper Mae
Juniper Beth
Juniper Liz
With June I'd probably go for something longer:
June Alessandra
June Elizabeth
Like any?
Congratulations. Hope everything goes well.
