I just want to start off by saying how thoroughly confused I am that people are considering using Lemon as a real, legal name for a kid. I... wow. I don't find Pepper as strange as a personal name, only because I'm thinking of the spice more than the fruit. (Still wouldn't use it, though.)

That aside, I find Juniper a fun yet still mature name. It helps that it's the name of a character I played once on stage (hardnosed badass), and answering to it made me think it would be a cool name to have in real life. I suppose it helps that I like a lot of other -er feminine names (Esther, Guinevere, Lavender, River, Summer, Vesper...). And Junie is a nice childhood nickname.

Wren is a simple name, soft without being too soft, and I'm a sucker for Ws. :-P

---

Pippa is nice, but only as a nickname for Philippa (which I do like).

---

We're in agreement about Andrea, though - especially the (pretty much)_inevitability of the nickname Andi. Can't stand Andi / Andy, main reason I don't like Andrew. (That and Drew is the past tense of "draw.")
