[Opinions] January
What are your thoughts on the name January for a girl? There was a little girl on TV last night with schizophrenia (I've actually heard of her before) named January. She went by 'Jani'. I really like it. It reminds me of strawberry ice cream. What type of middle name would you pair with it?

I went to high school with a girl whose MN was January (guess which month she was born in?).It's okay. I much prefer April, May, or June as far as month names go, but it isn't terrible.January Rose

Isn't January Dagmar just so scrumptious?? I am having a bit of a mild Dagmar affair at the moment. I don't think you should choose. you should have a whole cabinetful of January combos to gaze upon and admire.

Augh you guys need to stop giving me so many great combos because now I can't make up my mind. January Plum is sooooooo pretty and perfectly put together. January Jonquil is spunky and effervescent and rad. January Frances is heroic. You could call her JanFran.

ohhhJanuary Lila is so perfect. I think of pale-pale-pale hyacinth-lilac when I think of January and Lila has the same colour. Ohh I'm getting name-shivers from how perfect it is. I LOVE getting that feeling! Well done sir, as usual! :)

Ooooh! January Adele! Reminds me of my combo Jonquil Mary Adele. They're both J*ary Adele, hehehe. Ignore me.January Constance is just dripping with drippingness. I loooove the contrast of the sonorous vowels with the consonant clusters, the strawberry ice cream pink with the currant red and black. It's like a little painting in my mind.January Agnes doesn't do it for me, but you've reminded me of my love for Agnes.This is why you're awesome!

I love January as a first name. It's so neat and nice-sounding. It needs to be paired with a short, one-syllable middle name.

January Ruth and January Lenore are fantastic! I think that's just what January needs - a feminine, strong, classy, more traditional name to bring it back to earth. *Goes off to find more names like Ruth and Lenore*

I saw a video on youtube of that little girl. The name caught my attention too and I actually quite like it. I mean, I consider it a gp because I find it hard to imagine actually giving this name to my child...it just sounds too much like the month rather than a name. I feel this way about April too, actually. I can't really decide what I think of Jani as a nn. I think it could work on the right kind of person.For a middle name I would probably pair it with a one syllable name...maybe a virtue name. January Hope comes to mind, although I'm not sure if I like it. January Jean is another one that popped into my head but the double 'J' might be a little much. Other random names that came to mind...January Starr (sounds a little stripper-ish imho but Starr is a name I used to love as a kid so it kind of holds special meaning to me haha)January Joan (sounds like a movie title, perhaps? lol)January Laurel (not one syllable but it just came to mind)
January Lotus
