That's when her daughter suggested a name that was inspired by her own name, Capt. Jill. She suggested the name "Junko" from the initial "J," At first, Bhavini was hesitant about using the name because she thought that no one would love to buy from a brand called "Junko".
Bhavini added her own initial "B" to create "Bunko Junko".
