Juniper

Just curious what opinions are on the name Juniper for DD.

It's okay and I like the nn June, but it's not my favorite nature name. Others I like more:

Magnolia, Briar, Maple, Bay, Azalea, Lily, Rose, Winter

I think whatever you use, a traditional (like Elizabeth) middle name works best.

I like it in a GP sort of way.  It's not really my style but I like that it's a refreshing botanical name that's not heard all the time.

Sorry but it reminds me of the tree...not a fan at all.

I think it's really cute. I like the option of June as a nn as well.

Gin is my drink of choice so it would always remind me of that.

I like it a lot and think the nicknames June / Junie are really darling.

I like it! We know a couple with a baby named Juniper.

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree...

I think of the berries, and gin...gin always makes me think of Christmas trees!

I love this name. Absolutely adorable.

Sorry... all I think of are scraggly evergreens.   Not a fan of it for a name for a human.

I think this name is adorable but I dont feel like it ages well...

I like it, but it does seem kind of hipster.

DH and I both love, love, love this name especially with the nickname June. Unfortunately it sounds terrible with our last name

I don't like it.  It doesn't feel like a "real" name to me.

I really like it. I wouldn't use it personally, but I would love someone I knew to name their LO Juniper.

I like nature names, but dislike Juniper.

Have you ever pruned a juniper bush/hedge? It stinks. My friend calls it the cat piss bush because that's what it smells like. Not a nice association for a girl IMO.

A friend's sister named her daughter Juniper. It is NMS, but not terrible.

I guess I don't hate it but it just makes me think of the old Bath and Body Works scent, Juniper Breeze.  So please just don't name your kiddo Juniper Breeze.

The flow of this name is just kind of weird to me. I don't like the "niper" ending or even just the "per" at the end. It is sort of harsh and awkward to say IMO.

It is an unusual nature name though if that's what you're going for. June is a cute nn.

GL!
