Thoughts on Jupiter for a boy. Possible nicknames?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I’m not a fan. It’s a bit self-important!

How about Orion? I know one and his nn is Ry (rye). Lovely man.

My immediate reaction is no. But then maybe I'm not with the masses. Honestly. I just think it sounds a little bit too try hard or out there or something (and I live in an area of London where I hear every 'different' kind of name there is).
Plus I do struggle to picture what shortened version would be. Ju? Jupes? Plus. (Once again I accept that maybe I'm a bit older now. My kids are teens) .. what about when he becomes an adult? Maybe lots of kids will be called planet names in the future and it will be the norm .. but I know if someone nee started at my organisation tomorrow everyone would be thinking WTF?

I should hate it but actually I rather love it. He could call himself Peter if he hates it.
Jupiter, I'm becoming an old hippy i think.
Probably not a good idea really I guess in reality. Are you a rock star? If so go for it.

Better than Uranus, I suppose

I like loads and loads of different, unusual names, but Jupiter is awful.

No.

Not a fan at all I'm afraid
