Jude and Juniper

I love the name Juniper for a girl, but I'm not sure if it goes with Jude (DS's name) or it's too matchy match in sound to his name. Thoughts?

Love both, but I do think it's too matchy. Middle name?

Yeah, too matchy for me

Normally, I would say it's too matchy, but I love Jude and Juniper so much that I don't even care. Jude will be this baby's MN (if it's a boy), and I would totally use Juniper for our girl name if DH didn't hate it so much.

I think it is fine, as long as you love the name and (this is extremely important) you are NOT a Duggar....

I don't know.  Juniper seems a little quirkier to me than Jude.  So I guess I think they're not matchy enough...

Matchy.

Too matchy. I would use it as a MN.

As far as the letters and pronunciation of the names, yes, too matchy matchy. As a sibset, these two names don't go together very well IMO. Jude is a very classic name and Juniper is kind of hippie-ish. Like using Brayden and Blythe for siblings, two different styles of names. I would keep looking, maybe use Juniper as a MN.

All I can think is "Jude and June"... too matchy. Love the name Jude though, and Juniper is a fun name.

I don't like alliterative names.  I think it will be very confusing for you.

And I agree with the PPs that styles of these two names seems off.  I actually read them as Jade and Juniper thinking it was a nature sibset.  (And I was going to chime in that I met sisters named Clementine and Clover.) I think of Jude as a saint's name so it seems odd paired with a plant name IMO.  I don't think you have to stick with another saint name, but something more traditional than Juniper.

I actually really like them together.

I LOVE both names.

Juniper is a saints name too.  But yeah, they don't really match in style, and they're very similar in sound. I think my love for the name might  be strong enough to overcome that though.

I love both names, but not as a sibset. Sorry.

Too matchy!  Maybe Juniper can be used as a middle name?
