Jupiter

[HolyMusicalBman]

Thoughts on Jupiter for a boy. Possible nicknames?

Not a fan at all I'm afraid

No.

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

Better than Uranus, I suppose

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.

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?

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

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

YES
I love it!
I love space themed names (I know its also a gods name)
Had Astrid and Celeste and Luna on our list for a girl.
I think its really fun. Just give a more traditional middle name he can use if he ends up being a more straightlaced type of person... but honestly I think usually parents who give their children out there names end up raising kids who are on board with that. And now days everyone seems to have quite out there names.. my sons class in school has an Ophelia, a Titus and an Augustus!

It's kinda cute but the kid will be taken the mickey out of at school I reckon.

Yes to too self important!

Never thought of it for a name before but I love it!

I prefer Apollo!

In terms of cool space planet name, I like it.
But in terms of Roman King of the Gods, it's a bit much.

Nope.

Why would you need a nickname when Jupiter is such a perfect name?

Bloody awful

There used to be an American teen detective series of novels and the leader was called Jupiter. They called him Jupe or Jupes. Can’t remember what it was called, which is bugging me now! It had Alfred Hitchcock in.

The Three Investigators!

Jupiter Jones!

Hahahaha this reminds me !!!!! When I was about 7 there was a boy in my year called ‘Jupiter’ ! Well for some unknown reason I thought that’s what his name was for about 2 years of primary school and I have no idea why anyway I called him that until I heard him called by his real name .... Raymond
How on Earth i got ‘Jupiter’ I’ll never know !

Just thinking of a grown ass man walking around the place like "hi, my name's jupiter" and people going "is it fuck"

I just think its a bizarre thing to inflict on a child. I can't imagine a lawyer or a politician or a doctor being called jupiter. It reminds me of pluto the dog...

Ah, loved the three investigators! Every time they got a reward for saving the day they put it in their college fund!

I like the name Jupiter!

It will get shortened to Ju / Jew at school.
