I think it’s great. I first thought it was pronounced as June-ee-uh, but then heard it pronounced as Juni-uh, which I personally don’t think sounds as nice!

I love Junia, and I really like to use it. The junior pronounciation does not bother me. However, it is originally a male name. I'm not sure though.

Too much like Junia in my accent, which is a shame as it’s a pretty name.

Don't really like it

Really lovely

Junior and Junia are very different to me, so their conflation isn't an issue. I love Junia.

I’ve never encountered it before and I think it’s very very pretty. I’d pronounce it very clearly with three syllables (rhyming with Julia) and then I don’t think the junior thing is much of a problem.

Alternatively, I’d pronounce it as YOO-ni-a.

In any case, it’s pretty :)

It only sounds like Junior if it was pronounced with a specific accent. I don't think I'd have made that connection myself. I do like June best, though, partly for sentimental reasons.

I think it's pretty, reminds me of the ocean and happy summer days. A lot fresher than stuffy old June and doesn't sound like Junior to me at all.

That's exactly why I don't like it. June is so much nicer.

Since someone pointed out to me that it sounds like "junior" I cannot like it anymore. It would be nice otherwise. It looks pretty. Maybe go for Juna instead?
