I found this on a website from People magazine called Moms & Babes:

"Junia is the name of an early Christian mentioned in the New Testament. It’s pronounced JOO-nee-ah in English."

Shhh, we won't mention the Christian apostle thingie to DP and I might just get away with it. We'll just stick with the Juno connection.

I think I'm happy with joo-nee-ah but might add a bit of zhh myself. Zhoo-nee-ah is just gorgeous.

There's also the Lucius Junius Brutus (founder of Roman something or other) connection. Junius / Junia as a name has a long history before the biblical one. :-) It never hurts to have ammunition at the ready.
