June would definitely work well for a younger woman. It's not really my style, but it would work much better than Juno.

---

Juniper is okay, but not everyone can pull it off IMO.

I like it. It's pretty and sweet. However, I still prefer Juniper for its elaborateness. June is a little too simple and short for my tastes.

---

I think it would work fine on a woman today, or a young girl or teen. One of my mother's friends is Asian, and her name is pronounced like June.

I think it's lovely. I don't really find it dated - no more so than April or August anyway. You could always use Juno as a nickname which would be sweet.

I've always liked June. I never found it dowdy or old lady-ish at all, even though I've never met anyone under the age of 50 with the name. :-D My birthday's in June, and when I was a kid, I really wanted to use the name for a future daughter. I remember naming my one brunette Barbie June (I'm a brunette; back then Barbie didn't come in too many varieties, so it was kind of "special").

---

Never liked Juno or Juniper for a human being. They're too hipster-ish for me. But I'd be thrilled to hear of a kid named June. It makes me think of a little girl wearing a sundress playing in the backyard on a bright summer day. :)

I absolutely adore June. It's within my top 10. I also like Juniper, but not nearly as much. I don't care for Juno.

---

I think June can fit a lot of personalities- it can be sweet and wholesome, but it can also be spunky and fun.

Makes me think of Junie Donleavy, long-time NASCAR owner. It works but I just can't get past the old man who entered Fords for 47 years.

I use Juniper, nn June, and I love it. My combos (although they might not work as well with just June) are:

---

Juniper Corinne
Juniper Celeste
Juniper Pearl (after Benny and Joon)
Juniper Renee
Juniper Elin
Juniper Rose

---

I tend to put single syllable names in he middle name spot so that may be why I use juniper and not June. Hope this helped. :)

I have always liked June. It's kind of old-ladyish, but that's part of its charm. I actually know a little girl named June (they call her Junie sometimes) who was named after her great-grandmother and it made me like it even more.

---

I've always liked Juno as well, but the movie kind of wrecked it (not that it was a bad movie, it's just that now that's all anyone can think of when they hear the name).

---

As a child of the 70s, I've known a couple of Junipers, and the name doesn't really age well I don't think.

Dowdy? Nah. Dowdy means the close Jane for me, or even Jean. But June is a different story, and you could even have her name as Juniper or the like and call her June. It's a sweet name in my honest opinion.

Love June. This was on the top of the list for my daughter just behind Anna. I think it is cute, spunky and will age beautifully.

---

My Combo would have been June Aria or June Thomasina

I think it's lovely. It's a very sweet name, sophisticated but fun at the same time. I really don't like Juniper (don't like the sound of it) and I'm not a fan of Juno either.
I think June is a name that ages well. I can defintiely see it on a baby, teenager and woman.

---

I also have a secret crush on June for a boy. Probably more as a middle name but still. Don't tell me Alexander June isn't a handsome combo. ;)

I think it could really grow on me if the Juno movie hadn't come out. I really disliked it and it has ruined Juno for me (which I didn't like much to start with) and has influenced my opinion on June.

---

However that association put aside it's a really pretty name.

I think it's a very chic choice right now. It's retro and homey, very hipster in its appeal. And I think it would age very well, since it would be cute on a little one and very natural on an older woman. Plus, Junie as a nickname? Adorable.

---

Also, because it's so short, it combos nicely with soo many things. Maybe anything. And I think it would look smashing with something more contemporary in the middle

---

June Penelope
June Sophie
June Emily
June Lillian
June Phoebe
June Abigail
June Lauren
June Evelyn
June Hannah
June Isabelle
June Madeleine
June Molly

See look how friendly she is!

I go on and off June. I really like the long vowel sound, and I love the summeriness about it. It's bright and happy. I also like the June Cleaver association. Quaint, as Alcyone said, is a good word for it. I can definitely picture June on any age and I think it would fit in just fine today. Although ever since I misread a boy's name and month of birth as his full name, I've thought it made a really interesting middle name for a boy!

---

I like June better than Juno or Juniper. Juno is too quirky and hip for my taste, and Juniper I want to like but I'm just not a big juniper fan. If I had some sentimental juniper memories I'd be all over it, though.

---

June Frances
June Marjorie
June Marsaili
June Wendy
June Dorothy
June Ellen
June Louise
June Josephine
June Eloise
June Caroline
Ooh, I really like some of those!

It's a sweet name with a quaint vibe. With other older names coming back, I think it would be fine these days.

---

Juniper is adorable. It's lively and sweet without being too wacky or cutesy.

Some combos:

June Rebecca
