Juno

[AmyD54321]

What are your thoughts on the girls' name Juno?

It's really growing on me. Due in 5 months with a girl. Looking for a strong but also feminine name, nothing too 'frilly'.

We really liked it but it was too closely associated with the film for us and didn't want it to date as a result (went to school with many a Wayne and Charlene who hate their names in adulthood, so very aware of this!)

We went for Nina and Edie in the end, which I felt were similar style. Other names included were Nancy, Esther, Jessica, Edith, Sadie, Hannah and Sylvie.

I've always liked it. I don't know of any children/ adults with the name,but DD1's Royal Python is named Juno on my suggestion.

I love it, and would love to use it but it really REALLY doesn't work with our surname :(

Bruno?
Bull?
Kerr (with the middle name Alice)?

Not a fan.

I hate female names that end in "o". They sound so masculine.

Achingly trendy and try hard middle class.

Will date terribly

I like it. 99% of people won't have a clue about any bad associations from Greek mythology.

I’d assume most people picking a name like Juno will know the myth. And the film is 15 years old, so I wouldn’t call the name “achingly trendy”.

Love it, and Joni as suggested by a pp. I also really like Jean for some Seventies cool.

I know one (age 2/3) and I really like it. I wasn't aware of the mythology before this thread though.

You could also consider Jean.

June is much prettier

We have a Juno. We wanted something classic, not the norm and strong. We had 2 names, one more traditionally girly and Juno. After a totally confident and unwavering heartbeat during a traumatic delivery, a name representative of a Goddess and strength was totally appropriate. Lots of people think she is a boy at first, but it’s not as uncommon as people think. It’s quite nice telling people was the Queen of the ancient Roman gods! We actually met another slightly older Juno last year. Based on the rankings, I’d say there are a lot more ‘achingly trendy’ names out there.

Think it's really pretty.

I love it!

However, thought it was for a boy?

100% a girls’ name. Juno was a Roman goddess.

Oh of course!

Even better!

It's a really lovely strong individual name. Like Hero on another thread. I also love Joan. Another legendary woman. Needs a revival.

Adore it :)

Juno is a lovely name, it honestly does remind me of the film but to kids in a primary school when your DD gets there they are not going to have that association with it
