Thoughts on Juno?
Boy or girl?
What springs to mind when you hear the name/what kind of child or family would Juno come from in your mind?

i’ve looked through so many names already….. any other similar vibe name recommendations?

A girls name..makes me think they'd be strong and cool. I like it a lot!

It’s a girls name of course.

There’s a wonderful play by Irish playwright Sean O’Casey called ‘Juno and the Paycock’.

Reminds me of my dad. He used to love saying that things were 'in a terrible state of chassis'

The Juno I know is a girl - her parents are very cool hipstery types. The other Juno in our life is our cat.

Jupiter, Juno, Mars, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Apollo, Diana, Minerva, Ceres, Vulcan, and Vesta

Juno is and always has been a female name.
You could give it to a boy but you would factually be giving them a female name.

Girl. I like it. I know a family with a daughter called Juno, they're a bit alternative & all their kids have unusual names. I think of it as quite a middle class sort of name, not sure why.

DestinysGrandchild · 04/02/2023 20:50

Dog name.

Girl

Girl

I know one who is a little girl. She is 8ish I think.

Teeshirt · 04/02/2023 20:45

it is a girl’s name- Juno is a major Roman goddess. I think the film popularised it about 15 years ago and gave it a more alternative edge.

RancidOldHag · 04/02/2023 20:38

Girl - and has been for thousands of years

It's the name of a Roman goddess (her Greek counterpart is Hera, queen of the gods
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juno_(mythology)

TowerStork · 04/02/2023 20:35

Makes me think of the Roman Goddess

GroggyLegs · 04/02/2023 20:26

It makes me think of a pregnant teen.

BanjoKnockers · 04/02/2023 20:26

(Although I'd just go for the English June for a girl.)

BanjoKnockers · 04/02/2023 20:24

Boy's name.

Boy's names from Latin roots end in O (Mario, Paulo) Girl's names end in A (Maria, Paula). Juna is the feminine version.

Beachloveramy · 04/02/2023 20:18

Girl but also know of two dogs and a cat named Juno.

Kentlane · 04/02/2023 20:13

The little one I know is a girl. Her sister is called Astrid.

4thonthe4th · 04/02/2023 18:18

Oops… girl.

4thonthe4th · 04/02/2023 18:18

Juno

Id think it was a child from a vegan, hippy, weave your own blanket from your leg hair type family.

bridgetreilly · 04/02/2023 18:09

It’s been a female name for thousands of years. You should definitely be the ones to break that trend.

HuntingoftheSnark · 04/02/2023 17:53

Not keen. I was Ceres in a school version of The Tempest and recall the line (roughly) "hail, great Juno comes; I know her by her gait". Juno was quite a large girl.

Ellmau · 04/02/2023 15:00

It's a girl's name. Quite posh, I would assume.

Junius would be OK for a boy. Though also v posh.

ShittyPeasantsFromHampshire · 04/02/2023 11:59

Juno was a goddess so definitely a girls' name.

Nico, Cato or Jago is you want an O name for a son.

Mydogatemypurse · 04/02/2023 10:19

Pets name
