Neptune
Thoughts? I've been really into this name lately, mainly because the planet neptune is so interesting and people use Mars as a name.

I've been so into Neptune and Neptunine for the last like, 2+ years. Love it.

I think it's a beautiful name!

I think it's pretty and fun. I think of Neptune as being feminine energy in astrology, so I would be OK using it for a girl. Except, the energy and symbolism of Neptune is a little bit complex in my life right now, so it wouldn't be a straightforward blessing to use it. Lol.

Pretty stupid and obnoxious as a name on someone, though I will admit I’ve been intrigued by Neptunine.

It would likely be decent as a middle name but I feel like only some people could really pull it off. I’d prefer the prettier planet names Mars, Venus, or Saturnina.

It's great for a character. Middle name material on a person.

I just posted about Mars without reading your post first. I like it.Neptune just doesn't have the best sound, in my opinion.

Hi !!!I like Neptune. I actually love any nature-themed name and also the mythological ones.Being named after a planet is not so different to be named after a star or a moon. Why Luna, Soleil, Venus or Electra would be good and Neptune instead is seen as ridicolous?In my opinion there is no difference. I like it a lot!

I wouldn't use it myself for a human because I'm wary of the ocean, but I can imagine calling someone Neptune and liking it.
Part of me doesn't like the nep sound (I think nepotism), but I would probably get over that if I met one.I think it's better than Adonis (which is in the US top 300), weirder than Ocean, and about the same level of weird as Jupiter, Napoleon, Boone, Venus.For context: I like Dionysus, Minerva, Saturnina, June.
I know a song called "Father Neptune" that maybe makes it sound more namey to me than it would be otherwise.

Do people use Mars as a name? I've never come across it.

There's someone in my Facebook mom group with a daughter named Mars. There were 88 boys and 20 girls named Mars born in 2019: https://www.behindthename.com/top/beyond.php?name=Mars&gender=&type=sample
