Love it! Short, strong and to the point. I give zero efs that it was the name of a single questionable human being who died about 19.5 centuries ago. That is not the name's fault and it deserves a chance for a bearer that will actually do it justice.

I think I might like the sound if I managed to separate it from it's extremely negative associations. But that simply isn't possible. Unusable.

Hi !!!
Here in Italy the famous Imperor is called Nerone so the link is not so immediate for me even if I'm perfectly aware of that.
Here in Italy Nero is mostly seen as a short of Raniero (or also as full name but virtually related to it). It has an aristocratic vibe in this sense but it is actually very rare because of another reason.
Nero literally means "black" in Italian (referred to a he or a grammatically masculine animal, plant or thing). So it is not commonly used for children.
I prefer Raniero or Ranieri.

A one-owner name, and that owner was not a role model.

I cant read it without thinking about how quick it would change if you add a 'g'
I would spell it Niro or Neero

I clicked on the link and apparently it's pronounced NIR-o, while I always pronounced it NEER-o, which I think sounds better. Either way, while I'd obviously never use it, I do quite like it. It reminds me of a horse a friend of mine had named Rameses - I think Nero would make a good name for a horse too.

Dislike it. It sounds a bit try-hard, and I think most people will think of the absolutely awful emperor. It just doesn't have anything redeeming about it to me.

I'd like it a lot more if I could completely disassociate it from gruesome historical accounts of persecution. The Star Trek villain doesn't help.
It seems extravagant and dictatorial to me, similar to how Napoleon or Tiberius would but pithier, with a better meaning.
I think it'd fit in with names like Magnus, Hector, Atlas, Ajax, Dante, Griffin, Phineas, Aries, Adonis, Homer, Virgil, Godric, Norman, Felix, Titus.
A farm I worked on had a ram named Nero.
