Name for DD1 - Juno?

I am due a little girl in October and already have 2 boys. The boys both have classical names, but that wasn't an intentional theme really. We like a few girls names (most also classical) but Juno is the one which is growing on me the most.

I always like to check a name out on a MN thread in case i'm missing something awful! Grin

It's not awful is it? There isn't an infamous serial killer called Juno or summat? I know there was an indy film a while back, but i never saw it. I don't think it was too offensive.

Also we can't think of any middle names to go with it. Any suggestions welcome.

Juno, wife of Jupiter - I like it! If it's good enough for NASA, it would be good enough for me...but that might explain why DH veto'd Hubble for DS Grin (that was a joke in case anyone thinks otherwise!)

I think it's gorgeous but it wouldn't go with my last name.
Juno Grace
Juno Pearl
Juno Paige
Juno Elise

It makes me think of the somewhat depressing film about teenage pregnancy, but as pp said, this is probably not a cultural reference that will withstand the depths of time. It's quite a nice name otherwise.

I love it. Also like Junie.

I love the name Juno, it's simple but has a quirky vibe!

One of the names i like which dh said 'hell no' to is Miel.

We both like Antigone, Aurelia, Clemency and Artemis as well Grin But the boys have Aurelius and Clement as their middle names.

I love Juno!

Middle names - it would go best with something classic and long I think:

Juno Elizabeth
Juno Isabella
Juno Catherine
Juno Alexandra

I like it! It is very obviously not a boy's name.

No serial killers as far as I'm aware, just the Roman goddess and the spacecraft. And the film is good Grin

To the people saying 'for a girl' and 'for a girl child' - do you think it sounds like a boys name? Confused

My thoughts really Boss - i doubt anyone will really remember the film in years to come.

Ha! i can't see any connection with sumo, so that's okay for me, i can live with that. Grin

I like it for a girl, it does remind me of the film juno, the teen pregnancy one, but that will have no relevance to her peers so I say go for it!

I also knew someone growing up with a dog called Juno. But i have met loads of people with dogs called my name too (and max and toby etc) and it's fairly normal for a pet/person crossover of some names i think.

I kind of know a Juno and we don't like each other.

janethegirl2 · 06/08/2016 22:15

Had a dog called Juno, so not sure it's a child's name, don't think it's a good choice for a girl child.

MrsBellefleur · 06/08/2016 22:14

I love Juno and it's on my list for this baby.
