Juniper
What do you think of this for a girl? I like June and this seems like a whimsical twist on it, plus I like nature names.

I love it! She keeps reappearing in my top 30, and sometimes even my top 10!

I don't like it as a person's name because I don't like the nipper part. And also slightly because the plant is prickly and unpleasant in some ways, and because the only symbolism it has is gin.
I don't think it is a bad name. I think it would age alright. But on a young woman or girl, it seems too perky and cutesy, to me. Kind of like Tansy or Daisy, only more so. Maybe that is partially because it is such a novelty-name.

Juniper is quite nice, I do like it. I do like botanical names in general though.

It strikes me as terribly "twee". I hate that soppy line, "Jennifer, Juniper"! I'd rather have Jacaranda as a tree-inspired J name - at least it can be shortened to Jackie!

A long time ago when the world was more innocent and less considerate, I saw a jokey definition of Juniper: young Israeli. So I do rather shudder at it ... plus, I dislike both gin and the name June, so no.

It’s okay but I’m not a giant fan of it.

Hi!
It doesn't really sound like a name to me. I can't imagine it on a grown women.
