Is "Jupiter" a bad name for kid? Would you name your kid Jupiter?

[JoeMoma]

I just clicked on this Click Bait about a soon to be Mom whose husband wanted to name their new child Jupiter. She is against the name because she is afraid the kid will be bullied because of the name.

What do you think?

I can see where it might be a little bit of an issue, but on the other hand it is a very memorable name which can be a plus. Also, it seems like a very strong Alpha name if that makes any sense. I don't know if I would mess with a dude name Jupiter.

Well, it could have been worse.

The kid could be named after the next planet out.

Wasn't one of Mark Twains character named Jupiter?

 

[shockedcanadian]

Better than Uranus I suppose.

Also, Jupiter the name of a Roman god akin to Zeus.

Pluto? oh, Uranus

Yes... I can see how that could result in the kid being bullied. On the other hand, I know several people for whom that would be a very appropriate name.

It isn't a bad name, but it isn't a good name either.


If I ever have a kid, I've kind of wanted to name him Donner or Don if its a boy, and Erica if its a girl.

This is a black family. Has to be.

Older brother has no middle name.

Dad put his foot down when mom wanted to use the name Orpheus (sp), after a great-grandfather.

If I had a child I would have named him/her IfonlyIhadwornacondom.

WTH?

Multiple personalities by the looks of it.

Take heart. Even you are aloud to laugh, especially at yourself, upon occasion!

One of my favorite childhood "heroes" was Jupiter Jones from The Three Investigators.

Can you imagine going through life with that name? Now imagine that your last name was Lipshitz.

Not that bad of a name at all. Saturn and Ops named their boy Jupiter and he attained the title of "King of the Gods". Perhaps this kid won't attain the heights of success his namesake did, but it provides a good target for him.

No one wants their kids to emulate a loser- how many America kids nowadays get a name like Adolf or HIrohito?

The name Jupiter is both a boy's name and a girl's name meaning "godfather". Jupiter's partner Juno has entered the mainstream, so it's possible that her divine mate could follow. But not necessarily for boys — Jupiter is currently mostly female in the US, thanks to its similarity to Juniper.
