Jupiter for a girl

[toastofthetown]

I’ve seen in the news today Ed Sheeran he announced the name of his second daughter: Jupiter. Big sister is Lyra Antartica.

What do you think of Jupiter for a girl? Personally, I’m not a fan of Jupiter for a boy and even less keen for a girl, but I’ll admit to disliking the boys name on girls trend anyway. I get the logic that Jupiter does sound a lot like Juniper though, which is super trendy right now.

I didn't know that!

How about Thor?

She really won’t thank him / will think he wanted a boy

Juno Is nice

😂😂😂

🤣

Love it!

I really like it.

Just reminds me of that playground song

”Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider.

Girls go to college to get more knowledge”

Imagine the pain and misery of being named Jupiter...

I don't like it

Yeesh, no. They did so well with Lyra. What an odd choice for a second child! Not so bad if it was a boy as it's at least the name of a male God but on a girl? Why not Juno? Lyra and Juno make a lovely sibset.

Kind of cool for a boy, ludicrous for a girl.

She'll just end up being called Ju, so they may as well have called her Julia.
I just don't like it at all - quite apart from the bearded old rapist/ orange gas giant associations, I don't like the way it sounds either, pit is not a nice sound.

I don't hate it.

On a wealthier child it works a lot better than it would in a 'normal' family

Jupiter is the largest gas planet in our galaxy 😧

What's wrong with nice traditional celeb baby names like Moon Unit and Dweezil?Jupiter is certainly distinctive and I think it helps open doors to a child in adult life if they have a name that readily links them to a celebrity. Of course,it may not open the doors adult Jupiter would like. Perhaps the name was prompted by recent NASA publication of photos of Jupiter. The older child,Lyra,is named after a constellation.

I thought it was Juniper

Possibly named after Jupiter Rising film.
I see as more of a boy’s name like Jupiter Jones in a detective novel I read as a kid.

It does sound intensely masculine to me... But I can appreciate a strong name. But what I'm really wondering is why she doesn't have a conception place in her name like Lyra? Perhaps Jupiter Oxford (or wherever this time) didn't sound right to them 🤔 🙈

There was a film where Mila Kunis played a character called Jupiter Jones and I quite liked the name.

I think if you were a "normal kid" destined for state school fart jokes about gaseous giants would be put me off. I'm sure little Jupiter will be fine though.

Perhaps the DD was conceived on a Jupiter yacht? Ed did place of conception for big sister Lyra Antarctica. Couldn’t really name a child “North Atlantic Oceanic Route” now could he?

/NN Piter or Peter?

No, it sounds like a night club to me. In fact, I think there was one called this in Dublin in the 90s.

If you love it as a nn despite all reason, give it as a nn for something nice and then she can lose the jupiter when she's older. Julianne is lovely. Julianne Petra
