I was not familiar with this name (other than the history behind it) as a name, in use today, that is, until the movie "The Descent". A not-so-wonderful character is named Juno, but she's played by the gorgeous Nathalie Mendoza, so I associate the name with the actress (even more than the character, for some reason). And now there's a movie coming out called "Juno" about a pregnant teenage girl, played by Ellen Page.

I actually prefer June, and that wasn't until fairly recently, as it sounded a bit too old-ladyish, even for me. :b But I wouldn't hesitate naming my daughter June and calling her Juno (June Ophelia, maybe - June O., lol). I'd love to meet a little Juno. I don't get the overweight middle aged woman thing at all, but like I said, I associate the name heavily with Nathalie Mendoza and she's not that, at all. ;)
