[Opinions] Junis
My little sister will name her first chil Junis, no matter if it will be a boy or a girl.
I think Junis for a boy ist quiet nice, but for a girl?! Oh well...
You can find the usersubmitted name here http://www.behindthename.com/submit/view.php?name=junis but as you can see it's a male name, and i just don't like genderswiching.What do you think of Junis? Can you think of some nice alternatives for a girl? Or at least some nice FN so Junis will be just the MN?I suggested her these names:Junis Emilian
Junis Valentin(o)
Junis Leonard
Junis Romeo
Junis Ninian
Junis Gabriel
Junis Nathan
Junis Cyrus
Junis Amon
Junis Leander
Junis Phineas
Junis Arthur
Junis Eleonor(a)
Junis Josephine
Junis Liliana
Junis Valentina
Junis Rahel
Junis Delilah
Junis Mathilda

Juno or Juniper for a girl, Janus or Junius for a boy.

I don't really like the sound of it... for either gender... just one of those names that would grate on me.

I love Junius for a boy and Junia for a girl. She might like Juniper, which I love for a girl. Nn Juni is so sweet. I suppose I could see Juniper on a boy too.

How about Jamus?From the Dune series.

If I were her, I would choose Junia (there's also Juno, June, Juniper) for a female, Junis for a male. Apparently they are forms of the same name. You have some good combos! I like-Junis Emilian
Junis Valentino
Junis Gabriel
Junis Leander
Junis Eleonora
Junis Josephine
Junis Liliana
Junis Valentina
Junis Delilah
Junis Mathilda
Junis Felicia

Junis is strictly male. I think it's gorgeous in German.

Sounds like Judas.I'm not religious, but the fact that it could be Judas's kissing cousin still kind of puts me on edge.If your sister insists on using it, I think it sounds slightly better on a girl.
