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?

OP posts:

Thanks

I like it! Reminds me of the movie so I'd automatically assume it was a girls name

Girl. Wife / partner of Jupiter, king of the Roman gods, I believe.

Senior Roman goddess. It really isn't a boys name, any more than John or Charles would be suitable for a girl.

It's a girls name. I think of the film (which I love). It's about teenage pregnancy.

Although an ancient Roman goddess, I think 2000ish years later it could easily be used as either a female or male name. Neither especially springs to mind for me as I don’t know anyone by that name and Roman gods, whilst interesting, are not a particular feature of my life - I imagine that is true of the majority of people.

It’s a girl’s name!

I quite like it. It seemed to be briefly fashionable 10 or 15 years ago. Until then I’d have said it was very rarified but not anymore.

Love it but not cool enough to use it, it’s definitely a girls name

Thanks

It’s absolutely a girls name, definitely not for a boy. But a good girls name!

If you like boys names with o’s though how about Jago, Ivo, Arlo, Cosmo?

Juno was a goddess so definitely a girls' name.

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

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

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

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.
