Comments for the name 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.

I'd rather name my child Jove.

Jupiter is a lovely handsome name which I would definitely consider using for a child! My trombone's name is Jasper Jupiter, though my favorite combo is Seamus Jupiter.

Come on, what are you going to call your son in public?

Jupiter Hammon (1711-c. 1806) was the first black writer published in the United States.

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.

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

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.

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.

Its Greek equivalent is Zeus.

"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.
