What do you think of the name Jupiter?

I know it’s unusual but I love it! My partner and I are very unconventional and I don’t think it’s that crazy though I know a lot of my family will hate it since they all have normal biblical names.

I don't like it at all

No. Do not do that to your child.

Seriously? Why would you do that to your child?

there is some wiggle room between biblical name and planetary name. I'd probably pick something in between the two extremes to give your child's future resume a chance.

If you’re leaning toward an astronomical name Aurora, Celeste, Stella, Nova. Jupiter is taking it a bit far.

Way too out there for me.

At least it's not Uranus?

But in all seriousness, I agree with previous posters. I like the idea of a slightly more traditional astronomical name. Adding Luna, Portia (actually a moon of Uranus), Leo (the constellation), or Lyra (constellation)

I personally don’t like it, but I also don’t think it’s a bad name. My four year old is obsessed with the movie walking with dinosaurs and one of the characters is named Juniper so that is my only real association with it.

Since you asked for input, I'd encourage you not to do that to your child. As the other ladies have said, if you want a celestial name, these are many that are less over-the-top than Jupiter. Just to add to the list: Estella, Dawn, Larissa (moon of Neptune).

@brose1117 Juniper is a very different name from Jupiter.

brose1117 · February 2020

@meggyme haha you’re right 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I totally misread!

mrsvp614 · February 2020

Nope.

If you like the sound of it then maybe consider Juniper?

queenbone · March 2020

It rhymes with stupider. 👎🏻👎🏻

I actually like it! For a girl or boy? Mercury and Horizon are on our list for a boy and we’ve been looking through celestial names for both genders (I know the gender but he wants to be surprised). There’s lots of good planetary names out there. However, based off of the reaction you’ve already received here, I wouldn’t share the name with others until you actually have the baby and people can attach a human to it. It makes a unique name more palatable. As far as how it will affect the baby’s future? It’s unlikely to. I work in a variety of different schools and this generation of kids is comprised of so many “unique” names that nothing really stands out as over the top anymore. The baby will fit in with its peers no matter what you name it and it will be unlikely that will prevent it from getting a job or a career that it loves. If you love it, then the child will love it! But be prepared, as someone posted it does rhyme with “stupider” and it won’t take long for some mean spirited kid to come up with that. But every name has its pitfalls 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hey mama! Not sure if you’re still checking this board but I like the name and also agree with another poster that Juniper is very similar and beautiful too! I know you asked for opinions on here but I’m sorry some of the responses weren’t friendly! Good luck!

No. People, when naming your children please think of their future, not just as a cute little baby. Jupiter is going to want to date some day, get a professional job, etc. Think of the bigger picture.

Kids are also mean and all I can think of is a song from school “he goes to Jupiter to get more stupider.”
