The goddess Juno is a fine and noble person to have been named after.

She will not be disappointed if she ever looks up the meaning (Sharon means the broad, flat plain that lies between somewhere and somewhere else!) .

How proud will the child named after a cartoon character or whatever feel?

Children are going to be cruel to each other, they are horrible, they are practicing to be adults!


If you have a name they can pick on they will not be looking for something much more cruel to pick at.

Another one they are considering is Phoenix :-(

Does it really matter if the call their child Juno.?
all that matters is that they love him. after all its only a name.

She's a girl Foggy :-D

If they have a son they could call him Fido :-D

Named after a Goddess, much better than the Channel, ( pronounced Chanel ), Diesil, Koko, C.J., Saffire, L.E. ( pronounced Ellie ) and Mindee I have in my class at the moment.

I got in trouble for voicing my opinion on my great granddaughters name as some of you will remember...I was told get into the 21st century when I said the name was a title and not a name....Princess!!
They call her Prinny now..my concern was when she goes to school.
Maybe,although Juno is quite nice,it may cause her some ribbing.
Think we have to go along with their strange ideas.
What's in a name?. :-S

You'll never win with names. I gave my son a name I thought would be suitable for both a child or adult and one that couldn't be shortened. So when he started school it was lengthened!

My youngest grandchild has an old fashioned name that I wasn't keen on, partly because it reminded me of a miserable old lady I knew as a child, but it's surprising how quickly I got used to it and now it seems to suit her.

I also heard the story of a young woman introducing her new baby to a neighbour and saying she was to be called Holly. The woman was horrified "You can't call her that. Holly is a plant, not a person". Her name?.......Ivy!

The baby will be beautiful whatever her name.

My OH and I chose a name for our 3rd child and we decided not to tell anyone before the birth.
About 4weeks before she was born, I told my mum that if it was another girl,we intended to call her.... Harriet.
My mum hated it. She told the rest of the family who hated it too.
She would end up being called Harrie/Harry, they said

We were determined it would be Harriet... until the moment she was born
OH took one look and said "That's not a Harriet, that's a Caroline"
Where did that come from? It wasn't even a name we'd considered

Our 3rd daughter has just turned 21yrs old and prefers to be known as ........ Carrie!

I like the name Juno. Classical. Imo far better than some of the current names being used.

My daughter wouldnt tell us the names of our grandchildren until they were born. Then introduced them!!!! We could hardly say oh 'i dont like that name' which with one we didnt, but have got used to it now., I think it was for that very reason of all the agro., from relatives.

At least you have been included in the discussion Wend.!!!!

Sue
:-D

Lol Sue - actually I haven't . . . yet :-D One of my daughters told me.

I have decided that when they do tell me, I'm going to say how much I like the name Eva . . . and then hope for the best (imo) ;-) :-D

At the end of the day, it is down to the parents and nobody else's business, surely?

Ah, i see.

I hope you can put on a good act, of not knowing.!!

.

: :-D

Good luck with it .

S

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

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

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

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

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! :-)

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

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

:-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

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