Yes it was Island, and I know four of them.

Wend, the more I see Juno written down the more I like it and as I said before, at least it isn't a made up name or initials or a place name or some peculiar spelling or a perfume or clothing brand.

M. :-)

Ahem..........

Wendy was a 'made up name' :-D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

My niece had a daughter on the 19th April ... (Primrose Day)

Name ... April Primrose :-D

The more I think about it the more it grows on me. :-D

Wend

Keep telling yourself it's better than Bruno.

Juno what I mean 'Arry? ;-) :-D

I do like Eva as well (It was my Grandmother's name), but I think there would be more than one in the class. :-)

Juno what? After some of the posts on here, the name is beginning to grow on me :-D

Thanks all for your input :-D

Liz, that's great news about your son and his girlfriend :-) <3

I like cant think of any other child I know with that name I like it, I like Eva too but bet she isn't the only one with that name when she starts school.

I quite like Juno. At least it's classical and not an awful made up name which seems to be becoming a trend.

Or, even worse, a classic name misspelt. Samual instead of Samuel, Esta for Esther.

Or named after brands - Chanel, Prada.

Or places - Brooklyn.

or any name that appears in soaps or films.

It's hard enough growing up without being lumbered with a name that no one can spell or leads to teasing.

And don't get me started on American imports ...................

Well, hopefully this thread has worked some magic, as last evening my son told me he and his girlfriend are taking their relationship a step further! No not children yet but they are planning on getting engaged when they can find a ring that she likes and is affordable.

I said Oh lovely, does that mean babies follow, and son said I hope so but not sure about babies, might only be one but I have always wanted two children.

Just hope things work out as they plan and there are babies in the plural. Will keep revising my list of names lol

Her little boy will be 6 at the weekend so she has had a long enough break from pregnancy lol

Lizx ( living in hope and very excited)

Mr Magoo, you obviously didn't read my earlier post lol

Eva it is then...........

Boooooooodiful!!!!

:-D :-D :-D :-D

She's going to be called Eva - Prickles said so :-D

Wend, yes I like Jay too, for boy or girl. O if sh is clled juno you could call her Jy ( or J).

:-D AnnC - that's hilarious!

AnnG - now Jay I do like (you had a Jay in one of your stories as I recall) :-D

Mr. M - :-S

Something that you have to consider with children's names is their initials.

So ..........J ........followed by ?

I suppose it is up to them but we have a Judith and a Jeremy in our family and both are called Jay. Different branches and generations. So maybe she will end up being called Jay (j for juno) or Ju! :-)

in the births in our local paper one night there was a birth announced - the baby was named Deckland!! Presumably that's how they thought one spells Declan :-S

we dont like grandsons first name so my daughter was happy for us to
call him by his middle name she also dont like his name and calls him by his middle name

daughter let her partner pick his name
the little by is known by 2 names and he loves it
when one side of the family call him ??
and we call him ??


maybe your daughter will let you call the baby by her middle name if she given one

but i do like the name juno and she probably will get called June maybe you could point that out to daughter

As the fifth daughter born to my parents most of the female 'family' names had been exhausted, i.e Mary Ann Ellen from my mum, and Elizabeth from an aunt. These were their given second names .......

Mine was from a wonderful neighbour who had seen my parents through some terrible times ...... as you can see from my board her name was Eva :-D

Wend.......

Rush out and buy anything and everything you can find with "Eva" printed on it.

When they next come round..........present them with all the gifts.

Hopefully, when they see the excited look on your widdle face, they will stick with Eva!!

;-) :-D :-D
