20 June-themed baby names for your little June bug
These summer babies are super special.
It’s halfway through the year, and if you’re expecting a June baby, you’re at the end of your pregnancy and are getting ready to welcome a warm-weather newborn. Besides being a fun summer month, June babies are very special for many reasons. For instance, statistics show that June babies are most likely to win a Nobel Peace Prize.
It’s also thought that people born in the spring and summer months are most likely to exercise an upbeat and happy personality, aka Hyperthymic temperament. Therefore, even if your little June bug isn’t going to be up for a Nobel prize anytime soon, they may start making their kindness mark early, perhaps on the playground or at daycare.
These are just a few reasons that June babies are unique, and that’s why these 20 June baby names will help set the tone for your child’s future.
