Juniper or Calla?

manymahalos

We won't find out the gender of our little one for another week, but my man and I are having a really difficult time agreeing on girl's names. We're both planners and want to have the name locked down ASAP. For a son we will go with Landon Kai, but for a daughter we're at a loss. We both like the name June, but aren't 100% sold on it as our little one's first name. Calla June was our initial choice, but I'm starting to question it. Recently he suggested Juniper as a first name, and for whatever reason I kind of dig it! She can always go by June as a nick name. Possibly Juniper Belle or Juniper Marie (my mom's first name). Feedback is appreciated!

I actually like both Calla and Juniper. I'm a bit tired of June but Juniper is a bit more fresh. My only hold up with Calla is the similar trendy names of Kalee, Kaylee, etc , so I give the edge to Juniper

another similar name I tried to sell my H on was Dahlia

Thank you! I agree about Calla; every time I mention it to people they come back with a reference to Callie (Kalee, Cali), which is not what we're going for. We like that Calla is an older name and not so trendy.

Calla - ok

I like them both but prefer Calla June.  Juniper Belle is precious though - tough choice!

Calla June

I'm digging Juniper. It's cute/different and you can call her June.

Something about Calla isn't sitting well with me. I initially thought it was cute, but don't like it when you add an 's to it. Calla's sounds like Callus to me (as in a callus on a foot or finger).

Love Calla, not a fan of Juniper

I prefer Juniper. Calla never sounds right to me.

Juniper is nms but I like it more than Calla and I like that it can be shortened to June. Something about Calla just isn't appealing to me.

Ditto to all this.

I much prefer Calls.  Something about Juniper doesn't work for me, but I don't know what.  That being said, Juniper Belle is absolutely adorable.

Calla.

Juniper bushes smell like cat pee. Not an appealing plant name IMO.

Juniper. Hands down. Although like cat pee smelling Juniper bushes isn't the best association Love pps suggestion of Dahlia. I'll add Magnolia and Marigold.
