June - granny chic or nursing home dweller?

Becky262

What do y'all think of June?  Is it retro cool, like Henry and Ruby, or does it belong to someone with hard candies in her purse?

The name comes from my grandma who we both love and miss dearly.  And DH and I are okay with a girl being born in June named June (he says he'll  never forget when her birthday is  lol).

Thanks

I don't like June as a standalone. But I definitely think Juniper is "granny chic."

I REALLY like it. I think it's similar to Henry or Ruby.

I love it.

 

Also the name of the birthstone of that month: Pearl.

And I think it's fine for a girl born in June, too.

I love Juniper too, but it's too hippie for DH  lol

Love it! I think it falls under the same category as Ruby and Henry. A little girl named June would be adorable and it is even better that it is named after some one special to you.

It's NMS, but neither is Ruby.  I do think June is "granny chic" now, but they're not names I personally like.  Of the granny names, June isn't bad though.

I think it's great!

Great name!

I think June is lovely. I don't know where "Juniper" is coming from. Are you considering that, too? June is a standalone name -- it's not necessarily a nickname. (Though it CAN be a nickname for Juniper or Juno... similar to how Carol is a standalone name that CAN be a nickname for Caroline.)

I love the name, June! It's classic to me...and I suppose you could call it 'granny chic'.

One of my favorite blogger/namer named her youngest, Flora June, nn June. It works and I'd use it if I could.

I love it!

Love it.  Classic, but not dated.  It's wonderful that it has meaning to you, too.

I also love the name June! ?(DH vetoed it). ?Even better that it is after your Grandma!

caligurl37

Definitely chic! I love the name June.

I too am a fan, and the fact it is after your grandma is even more special.

I however do not like Juniper.

June is retro chic! And I love that phrase - describes it perfectly!

I like it. I knew a young girl name June once, and thought it fit her well.

Love it! Kinda wish I was having an April or June baby because I adore both of those as names.

This...and Juniper is a little to "Hippie" for my tastes, too but it might work as a NN

I love June, definitely better than Juniper.

For me it fits in with Ruth and Lois, which I also love.

i like it. i think the recent interest in month names like january and august make it sound more current. i agree with pp that it sounds better as a nickname, but then i'm big on using formal names.
