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

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.

Romans would be displeased. Just don't name them Uranus!
 
I'm sure there will come a time when someone will joke about the name, but is that necessarily bullying? If the kid name Jupiter handling himself well and doesn't turn out to be a snowflake, bullying will not be a major problem because of his name. There are plenty of worse names than Jupiter. After all, Jupiter is the largest of the planets and the name of the "King of the gods". It's the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Zeus.
Kids aren't going to know that until middle school. Maybe. Yes, Zeus. He will need to act accordingly.
 
I know a 16-year-old on bail ... his birth name was Felony.

Poor kid never had a chance.

Jupiter can educate them. And I'm pretty sure I knew the names of the planets by 3rd grade if not sooner. Of course I was a young child when Armstrong walked on the moon so space stuff was really cool with the kids. Many kids my age wanted to become astronauts.

He could or he could be tormented by the rhyme. Science teachers would love him. He could go by Jove for short.

By Jove. I slay me.

I know all of them by name, I just don't know what order they go in by heart lol btw, is Pluto even a planet now or not? I think it's a dwarf planet but what exactly does that mean in our solar system?

If one kid wants to bully another kid, he will find a way.
 
I was going to say just that.....better Jupiter than Uranus.

Great minds think alike! :tongue:
Uranus would be a good name for a gay porn star.

Even so. Look, it's not a bad name but there may be some bullying that goes along with it. As long as people are prepared for this and remember that you cannot beat the crap out of the other kid or parent then I'm sure it will be fine.
 
But honestly....Jupiter is no name for a baby....can you imagine going through life like that?

If it has to be the Solar system call the poor creature Sun or even Mars.....but Jupiter????

I don't think so.:nono:

I like Jupiter better than Sun or Mars. And with all the strange names parents name their kids now days, Jupiter seems pretty tame. A lot better than Dick.
 
I can see Jupiter being a bad name if the kid turns out fat.

Better than Dick? ......I don't know LOL :laugh:
 
I should have named my daughter Gramma. They're gonna call her that eventually, anyway.

I find those whose parents gave them a unique name once an adult will have it legally changed. And despite their parents for sticking them with that unique name throughout their young life. Best to stick with old family names from generations past it will give them a sense of belonging. My first and middle names go back in my family for centuries.

I see a lot of middle school aged girls named "Diamond," and I wonder if their parents idea is to make it easier for them to be strippers. But, who knows? In ten years, the strippers may be using exotic names like "Becky," or "Sue."
