I don't mind it at all. I do prefer it for a mn, because I think it's a little unusual for a fn.

My aunt is named Jonquil :-)

Her full name is Jonquil Olivia, which is gorgeous . . . but of course Olivia was rare, not popular, back in 1959 :-D

I think it's lovely.

It's absolutely gorgeous - no?
It's not my real name, but I knew a Jonquil when I was a student, the only Jonquil I've ever known or even heard of. She was petite, brunette, and - in contrast to the jeans and sweater set - always very fashionable from head to toe, and her name (and the sophisticated image she presented) have always stuck in my mind. The name intrigued me. I thought it would be suitable for a baby born on the cusp of winter/spring as the pretty jonquil flowers are blooming. Also, it could "honour" a grandparent called Jon/John.

I don't find it appealing in sound.

Jonquil - pleasant sounding and unique. I like it!

It's a fun name; I like it. I don't think the "jon" syllable is a problem. Flowers carry enough sufficiently feminine imagery on their own.

Love it.

I too wonder why I like it, given the "jon-" part. Perhaps it the "root for the underdog" in me, but I find it strangely appealing.

Jonquil is an acquired taste. With names like that, once you do like them, you're not likely to lose the attraction easily.

---

It might make a neat way to honor a John in the family.

Neato.

I never thought of Jonquil before, but it's great. Very quirky.

I think it's cute.

Very you, very spunky, and unusual without being totally out there. Jonquil and Nasrin would be adorable twins.
