I used to dislike
Juniper because it seemed like a very weird name to me and reminded me too much of the planet
Jupiter, but due to how trendy it has become over the last year or two, it has started to grow on me; it's like an acquired taste, I guess. Although, I do still prefer it as a middle name. I think some pairings like
Annabel Juniper or
Ariana Juniper are kind of cute.
As for my favorite nature name, that's a hard question for me because I like a lot of different types of 'nature' names such as plants, animals, weather, etc... Hmm, since
Juniper is a plant type, I'm just going to say either
Rose for a girl or
Sage for a boy is my favorite?
