I like it. I definitely like the imagery.
I think it goes well with Theodora & Hermione especially if it has a longer and more complicated-looking middle name (or just one that seems classic or historical).
Juni (and June) seem a little too peppy for me, but they're not bad. Juno is cool but it might seem too contrived.

ETA: [first syllable]+o is normal for a nickname, but since Juno is a full name on its own and a goddess name, it seems "bigger" than Juniper which sounds light, happy, and youthful. I think that's why I don't like it, because it's like the nickname is bigger than the full name even though it's shorter.

Congrats on #3!

I like most nature names, so I find Juniper to be ok. Don’t have a stronger opinion than that either way. It seems to be a bit popular/trendy lately. It neither fits well nor appears awkward with the sibset. Guinevere, Gwendolen or Genevieve or similar are more in vibe as a sister though in my opinion. I think Juniper would work best as a middle name.

It's on my PNL so I obviously like it. Maybe even more so since I love Juni, and Per is my dad's name. Haha.
I think it goes perfectly with Theodora and Hermione. I don't think that T & H goes together honestly, but Juniper ties them all together and it really sounds like a sibset.

I don't like Juniper. It's kind of perky-quirky ugly-chic, like a children's book character-name. It's trendy in a way - not super popular, but that Hollyweird style. I'd expect a Juniper to have a middle name like True or Cyan or Nova. I think if it goes with any names, it goes with names like Ivy and Wren and Willow ... word names with images that are "natural" but not symbolic nor particularly pleasant. Juniper is even less symbolic than those.

Putting aside my personal negative feelings, I think it'd be okay as a younger sister of Theodora and Hermione. I mean, the clash is not a big deal - it's not so bad if the youngest sister has the odd name out. I think it'd be a little awkward if Juniper were the middle sister, and worse if she were the elder.

I like it, and I think it works just fine with Theodora and Hermione. I haven't met a single Juniper, so it isn't trendy in my neck of the woods. Go for it. :)

I don't know about Juniper, but gin is gaining popularity by the day! I'm afraid my only association with Juniper is a half-forgotten shaggy dog story from when I was at uni, which hinged on a pun whre Juniper = Young Israeli. Oh, and that 60s song, was it by Donovan? Jennifer Juniper? That was pretty!

Juniper and Hermione sound fine to me, but Theodora isn't a very good partner for it.

Juniper is lovely and goes perfectly with T and H! I also love the nicknames Junie, and also June-Bug.

What do you think of Juniper?
The first thing I think of is the shrub my grandmother had in her front garden, so a positive first thought. It’s a strong name for a girl yet it doesn’t bother me in this case. Perhaps because has softer nickname options, although I don’t think the name needs a nickname.

What do you think of Juniper, Theodora & Hermione
- LOVE

Is Juniper too trendy/popular?
- I think Juniper is fine. No creative spellings, it’s a nature names, and a twist on a classic name (June) without overdoing it. It’s not too popular (I at least have never met or heard of someone named Juniper)

I love the name June, but Juniper has always struck me as a weird hippy non-name, like her siblings would be named Windy and Birdsong.

I don't like it, not sure if it goes with the others

I like Juniper. It's super cute and sweet.

It fits in fine with the siblings, and it's familiar.

ooo yes I think it goes super well with the other two theyre all long and feminine.
