I always assumed Joon was just a cool way to spell June, short for Juniper. But then it occured to me one day,that when Sam writes her name he would spell it Joon, since he's dyslexic. 'Cause all Joon said when Sam asked for her name was "Joon (June?), with an N." Could her nickname really be June, the Joon coming from the creative struggling from Sam? Did anyone else think of this, or is that how it's supposed to be thought and I missed something? Give your thoughts! ;D

Wow, I've never thought of it like that. Now that you've brought it up, I agree that it could really be spelled June, but because of his dyslexia, Sam spelt it Joon. Although we may never know the truth, since it doesnt say in the movie. So I guess it's just an opinion thing.

But then wouldn't the title be "Benny and June" either way Sam spelt it? And on the back with the summary it spells her name Joon. And you never really see someone writing her nickname, only her real name...so maybe June and Joon are both acceptable Good point though.

That's definatly an interesting thought.. I kind of wondered why it was spelt like that myself.

I assumed it was a kid thing, because kids tend to have erratic spellings at the best of times. I thought Joon must have spelt her name that way when she was little and it just stuck. ;D

That makes sense too I asked my own friend Juniper, who perfers being called Juniper, but anyway, she said if someone ever called her by her nickname, she perferred it being spelt Joon because June is already a name.

Hmm that's a good thought Lynx! Ooh, your very own Juniper! I mean yes that's cool they share a name. She has a good point too. I'm probably thinking too far into this, hehe, bbut it is an interesting topic to discuss!

i've always kinda thought that her name would be spelt June from Juniper... but i didn't know if that was just how SHE liked to spell it or something.

Well, we could always send a nicely worded letter to MGM but that'd be a lot of effort for no real reason.

Lynx, I am having to agree with you on this one, that makes most sense to me. Though, Rollie, yours makes sense too
