It's certainly one of those "worked on" rather over contrived signatures that teenagers would devise and cover any spare space with.

Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)

“June” is unlikely, for the first name, which has an “i” in it, that has been dotted with a 💜 heart.
This is something that is done today by girls around the 10 to 16 age group.

Would it be 'Junie'?

Janice looks a good suggestion to me. How about Prickett or Priskett for the surname? (It seems to have a letter 'i' with the same heart-shaped dot.)
