Planet names are so tacky and immature they sound so pathetic, dumb, and just silly. The only planet name that isn’t bad is Venus the rest are all dumb.

I actually like this, it sounds cool. It sounds a little like a name for just a character, but also what's wrong with being a main character in real life? Also, idk why people are saying it's unisex, it's a god's name. It's always been masculine, and it sounds masculine. Juniper would be a similar name for a girl.

Yeah this is not a good name. It’s much better as a planet name.

Jupiter is also used as a feminine name in Roman Mythology and Greek Mythology. However, it's more common for males. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be updated from "Masculine" to "Masculine & Feminine". A known female bearer of this name is Jupiter, a Team Galactic Admin in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, & Shining Pearl.

The name Jupiter also has a usage of Greek Mythology. So, I think that the "Usage" of this name should be updated from "Roman Mythology" to "Roman Mythology, Greek Mythology".

I think it's cool. I know a non-binary person with Jupiter as their chosen name, so I think it's unisex.

A wonderful name, might be my favorite planet name (as well as my favorite planet)! Call me crazy, but I honestly think it's unisex. For some reason, I find this name fits well for boys and girls.

It's perfect for a pet - imagine a calico cat named Jupiter! So cute! I'll use this name when I get a new pet soon.

I love mythological names. This one could be a good middle name, but I named my cat Jupiter. I didn't realize, until I had to speak the name all the time aloud, that it's not a name that rolls from the tongue. It sounds nice, but it's actually awkward to say frequently, and yes, it does make me think of "stupider." More often, I end up calling my cat "Juju." So, when he's bad, he's "bad Juju!"

Totally cool, but best as a middle name I guess. I think it's unisex.

Jupiter is great for a character, but not on a child. I'd opt for Juno instead.

It’s one of the nicer planet names but it’s not nice as a name, but it’s okay, I’d rate it 4/10.

Jupiter, chief God of the Latins (the ancient Elysians), was an ancestral name and became the chief Latin diety. The Hebrews recorded him as the father of all Europeans, Japheth, who migrated away from Shinar to the "Isles of the Gentiles". The "er" suffix is a masculine indicator, more common in the Germanic tribes than the southern European ones. The names Jupiter and Japheth have etymological equivalency and the Latin name Japetto likely derives it's origin here. Further evidence of the Japheth origin is the placement of Jupiter in the Latin Pantheon. Jupiter is the son of Saturn, who is equivalent with the biblical Noah. Noah was known as Xisuthra in old Akkadian, which bears etymological similarity to Saturn. As Jupiter is the son of Saturn, the flood survivor, so the Hebrews recorded that Noah's eldest son was Japheth, and that he peopled Europe. The Hebrew texts record Japheth having a son Javan (Ivan), who fathered the southern European tribes, with his son Elisha, begetting the Elysians, an Archaic name for Latins.

I am writing a screenplay and named the heroine Jupiter, not realizing it was masculine. Then I realized I could get away with it if I made her nickname June.

I'd think the name Jupiter, would fit a little girl. Even though, Jupiter was a god and not a goddess. In the future I'd probably name my daughter Jupiter.

Jupiter Jones was the lead investigator in the book series "Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators". Robert Arthur Jr. was the author and I am unclear just how Hitchcock was involved. The books were similar to The Hardy Boys, but in my opinion, better written. As this was my introduction to the name I associate cleverness with the name.

"Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider..." Yeah. I think most of us remember that little playground rhyme/hand game growing up. I don't know if it's still common among kids today, but just in case, you ought to avoid this name and save your kid some teasing.

Planet names do not work well on people. This is second only to Uranus in the amount of teasing someone with the name will get.

Rhymes with "stupider" and it just sounds bad. I don't think anyone's actually going to use this name. Save it for the planet.

What a nice name for a baby/child. Jupiter Marcus flows so well. *JK*

I have an idea for a nickname---Jove, as the god Jupiter was sometimes called. It sounds sort of normal, like Joe or Job or Joel. Zeus, however, I think is far too out there, even more than Jupiter.

Something I wouldn't name my child. It has a nice ring to it but not for a person though, more like something I'd name a pet.
