Mamabeakley, my oldest daughter's name is Juniper! We love it, and she gets compliments all the time on her name. I don't really have any firm ideas about names. We had picked Trystan Ash for a boy name last time but had a girl, I still...

It's pronounced pretty much like ILL-va, though of course in Swedish it sounds a little different.
