Juniper or Calla?

manymahalos · September 2017

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.

Juniper - no

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.
