I adore
Juniper! I think it's very usable, and I live in the Western U.S. too. :-D I love it with the nn Juni, but
June is sweet too. I'm waiting for my niece that just got married to get pregnant before I suggest (
Wren and)
Juniper to her. She's now got a Japanese surname and I think it / they could really work well. So if you use it first, then I can tell her it's not so unusable. ;-) [If my very Catholic mother objects to the name I've already rehearsed where I explain about Blessed
Junipero Sierra. That should cool her heels.]
Esme and
Juniper? Gawd that's great as a sibling set. Actually,
Juniper Esme sounds wonderful as a combo.
I would look for something more conventional for a mn. How about:
Juniper Celia /
CelesteJuniper Hilary (= happy juniper)
Juniper Kate /
KayJuniper MollyJuniper Hannah Juniper Sylvie (= juniper forest)
Juniper CoralieJuniper Inez /
InesJuniper Linnea (too botanical?)
Juniper FreyaJuniper Carys (= beloved juniper)
Juniper AilsaJuniper CoraJuniper EmilyJuniper Alice /
Alix Juniper Leonie ("LAY-uh-nee" or "LEE-uh-nee")
Juniper DaphneJuniper Chloe (= green shoot of juniper)
Juniper IsoldeJuniper Carmel /
CarmelaJuniper Evelyn
