Help[Opinions] June
Lately I have fallen in love with the name June for a girl with the occasional nickname of Junie. Wdyt? Can it make a comeback? IMO, it's one of those names that isn't used anymore, but isn't dated either. Can you think of any middle names for June?

I kind of like it, but I've never LOVED the sound of it. But it's sweet and old-fashioned to me without being outdated. And I agree that Junie is a cute (occasional) nn.

It's very 1940s/WWII era, and I think it could make a comeback, although maybe not quite yet...

Yes!
June's a personal fave. I agree about the not-used-but-not-dated thing. The only reason it's not a top choice for my own (possibly female) kid is, it doesn't sound so great with our surname. I'd use a family middle name myself, something frillier than June is, like Virginia or Marguerite.

I love the name June! It's old-fashioned yet hippyish, or at least that's how I see it. I'm not crazy about the nn Junie but it's not horrible either.
I think a long middle name would work well.
Go on, be evil and get lazy.

I think a long mn sounds best with June. June Felicity, June Emmeline, June Cecily, June Penelope, June Alexandra.
Personally I prefer June as mn, I like longer fn. What about Junia, nn June or Junie?

June is okay, though I wouldn't use it unless the baby was actually born in the month of June. I dislike Junie though.

I like June, somehow even better than Jane. Jane is still such an obvious name, while june has never been that popular. It is kind of dated, but I like other old fashioned names like Pearl, Agatha or Ruth. June could also be an alternative nn to Juniper. Junie, on the other hand, is way too cutesy for my taste. Some names just don't need nns.

I like longer first names, and June does nothing for me. I don't like the sound, I'm not sure why. It's funny because I love other month names. May, April, August, even December for a girl :-)
I agree June is neither current nor dated, which is great.

I like Jane and Janie better!
Lately I really like Jane and Janie and I think it is coming back. I don't like June, too old fashioned, but ok for a mn. I think Cassandra, do you call her Cassie? and Jane, Janie would be too cute. I like Jane Elisabeth, Jane Abigail, Jane Melissa, Jane Victoria, Jane Amelia, or any 3 syllable name.

June's my roomie's name..
She's 19. It suits her well, I could never use it becuase I really dislike her, and the name will have a negative connotation for the rest of my life haha, but I do like the name anyway. I always think of the Junie B Jones Books... I loved those books.
