Juno was a Greek goddess of (had to google) the protector and special councillor of state.
I have to be fair when my sis in law named her daughter Alice both me and hubby said she was cruel (remember the song ! ) but she didn´t have a problem.

Thankyou for the laughs - cheered me up no end :-D

I am having problems with my eyes at the moment - came on suddenly a couple of days ago. I've had some tests and more tomorrow. It's very difficult for me to read and type at the moment, so please forgive me for not replying. :-S

Years ago a friend had a daughter she wanted to call Louisa her husband flatly refused saying it didn't go with their surname. The marriage didn't last long and they divorced, he remarried and had a daughter that they called ....Louisa. Clearly the new wife had more say about her daughters name than the first wife did.

H'actually Dottie :-| unlike most other children (Who were born under a gooseberry bush!) I was born under a prickly hedge on Christmas day......

Hence the reason my Mother lovingly named me Prickly Holly. :-P

With a name like "Island"........I suppose you were born somewhere far more exotic??

My nephews g.dau is called Alexie and I think it is lovely.

I have resisted until now saying my step.daus dog is Juno.

My friends son has called their first son Duke...... and when she first told me over the phone I was unable to answer straight away.. My friend had problems using his name at first but now says it without hesitation.

Now that is a name for a dog :-0

I read somewhere a while back that there is a certain 'rule' to choosing Christian or first names, it's to do with the amount of syllables in it and the amount in the surname.

My surname is long but my parents loved me so much they gave me a long Christian name too altho my middle name is only three letters long. So much for a young child to learn to write lol

Both my children had three letter Christian names and longer middle names. Luckily my son likes his slightly unusual name and it never got shortened more or lengthened. The only teasing or questions he got were to do with 5th November, which wasn't his birthdate!

Island :-). I can imagine some conversation many many years ago.

What is the name of your Baby ? Oh, Peeetarrr , unusual , why didn't you go for something more traditional like Ugg or Ogg ? I don't like these new names.

No I meant by made up the sort of name a lad at school had a few years back it was Dennydalyon. His ( older ) teacher used to call him Lenny the Lion and all the kids used to call him Dandelion

I was served yesterday by a La Datasha.....
