[Opinions] Juno

This name doesn't get talked about a whole lot, if the search engine for this board is accurate. Maybe mentioned a few times - but I think the similar June and Juniper are discussed more often. I didn't think much about this name until recently, and used to associate it mainly with the movie Juno that came out back in... 2007. (I had to look up the year. Even though I remembered it came out when I was in high school, it didn't register that this movie is almost 16 years old - the age Juno actually is in the movie - until just now.)

Anyway, I've started to really like this name, though I struggle with combos. These are the ones I've juggled so far:

Juno Rosalie
Juno Celeste
Juno Lavinia
Juno Marjorie

WDYT of Juno? What middle names would you pair with it?

I still only associate it with the movie. I can actually see my copy of the DVD on the shelf right now.

I like Juno, but unfortunately I associate it more with the movie rather than the goddess. It’s spunkier than June and less complicated than Juniper.

Of your combos I like Juno Celeste. I want to like Juno Rosalie but it doesn’t quite flow? My first thought was Juno Persephone but that’s probably a bit over the top!

Juno Madeline
Juno Adelaine
Juno Alessia
Juno Aristea

Juno Persephone is pretty, but heavy, I agree.

I like Juno Madeline / Madeleine!

I associate it too much with the movie and that style/period. It's an interesting name historically, but the pop culture aspect makes it feel one dimensional or cutesy/cliche/affected to me. Maybe I'd get over that if I knew one, but I don't.

Juno Damaris
Juno Tasnim
Juno Merope
Juno Saffira
Juno Talitha
Juno Dahlia
Juno Lysandra
Juno Verbena
Juno Hesperia
Juno Bathsheba
Juno Lillian
Juno Darlene
Juno Tera
Juno Sabine
Juno Septima

It's mixing mythologies, but Juno Merope immediately jumped out to me. Juno Sabine is very pretty, as well.

You wrote Juno Tasnim, but I misread it initially as Juno Tamsin, and now I'm thinking about that. :-P

I love the name. Original and sounds quirky.

Amongst your suggestions, I think Juno Lavinia sounds the best. For some reason, the other ones don't roll off the tongue well to me.

Juno Mary
Juno Nicole

I find these to be the most harmonious sounding personnally. Don't know if it's to your taste.

I wouldn't use it at all. I find June unattractive, compared to Jane, Jean and Joan, and Juno, which is worse, also makes me think of a casual contraction: Juno what I mean? Plus, she wasn't even a particularly pleasant goddess!

Don't like it, prefer June

Quoteused to associate it mainly with the movie Juno

Me too.

Juno looks more intriguing than June. But I find the sound of Juno harsher. And I can easily imagine Juno on a boy. 🤔

(Today I discovered Giunone an Italian variant of Juno.)

Juno Celeste and Juno Lavinia stand out to me.

How about Juno Ciela, Juno Camilla or Juno Victoria?

Giunone is interesting.
