[Opinions] Re: Juniper
in reply to a message by Bex
I like it. I definitely like the imagery.
I think it goes well with Theodora & Hermione especially if it has a longer and more complicated-looking middle name (or just one that seems classic or historical).
Juni (and June) seem a little too peppy for me, but they're not bad. Juno is cool but it might seem too contrived.
ETA: [first syllable]+o is normal for a nickname, but since Juno is a full name on its own and a goddess name, it seems "bigger" than Juniper which sounds light, happy, and youthful. I think that's why I don't like it, because it's like the nickname is bigger than the full name even though it's shorter.
Some random combos nobody asked for:
Juniper Liene (li-en-eh)
Juniper Antigone
Juniper Rosalind
Juniper Vivian/Vivienne
Juniper Charlotte
Juniper Amalie (a-mal-i-eh)
Juniper Helena
Juniper Minerva
Juniper Vincenza
Juniper Olenna
Juniper Octavia
Juniper Miriam
Juniper Isolda
Juniper Menodora
Juniper Gwendolen
Juniper Miranda
Juniper Mirielle
Juniper Callisto
Juniper Eleanora
Juniper Selene

Yeah I don't know if Juniper is too light and frilly to fit with Theodora & Hermione. I love Juno, but I think it's too short.
Thanks for the middle names!
