Comments (Meaning / History Only)

I would personally not use this name. I feel like many people who use it don't know much about mythology and have never read Juno's story.Juno was a horrible person. When her baby, Vulcan, was born she expected him to be strong and handsome but when he turned out not to be she threw him off the top of Mount Olympus. His legs broke as he hit the water beneath him so he ended up having a disability for life. He was raised by Thetis. Many years later Thetis went to Mount Olympus wearing jewelry Vulcan had crafted. Juno loved the jewelry and when she heard Vulcan had made it she demanded he come back to Olympus which he refused.Juno was basically a horrible, judgmental, selfish and superficial person. Now I know that this is just a myth and not real but it is, after all, how this name was created. I wouldn't want this horrible association personally.I'm not writing this because I don't want Juno to be used. I don't care what other people use and I am sure most people won't know the myth and a little Juno would have no problems. Just writing this down so that people who are interested in it get the full picture and story. Because I always hear "it's so nice, it's from mythology". Well, yes, but it doesn't have any good associations as the mythological Juno was terrible.
I have heard that this can be a nickname for Juniper. I am not sure but that is what I heard.
Juno means "vital force".
