I would probably like it more if it weren't for the movie. I tend to dislike strange names that have been made famous through pop culture (think of just about every Harry Potter name).
Juno is a bit too out-in-left-field and for my tastes anyway, so I'd recommend it as a mn.

I like the name June with the nn Juno.

I love the name Juno. I loved it even before the movie came out. Before the movie came out I was actually considering using it someday but now I feel like everyone is going to think she was named after the character in the movie. It's still a nice name though. It wouldn't suprise me if we started seeing a few babies named "Juno" in the BA"s now that so many people have seen the movie and realized what a great name it is.

I'm annoyed with that film. Juno used to feel like a sweet little secret, a great name almost no one thought about. Now, I would consider it for mn use only for at least ten years, so that I can see if it succumbs to the Splash/Madison effect.

Also, Juno could never be a boy's name, any more than Venus or Minerva.

I think it's ok but I still think it's rather masculine. I've heard the name Juno on a boy too (he was six months old and soo cute). I don't think it should be used for a boy though and I don't like it for a girl.

I wasn't terribly familiar with it until I saw a movie a couple years back called "The Descent" in which there was a character named Juno. Then I discovered the history behind the name, which I find interesting. Since the movie Juno, though, I'd say it'll be connected to that character for quite some time. I suppose she'd constantly hear, 'Oh, were you named after the movie/girl in the movie?' So I'd definitely not use it if you hated that movie. :b I don't think I'd ever use it now (not that I hated the movie, but it's just too close of an association for me), but I still would consider it for a pet or maybe even as a nn for June or Junia.

Juno is beautiful. It's simple, but cool and elegant. I've always loved the name Juno, the mythology geek I am, but I too have been really thinking about it ever since I saw the movie. Perhaps we'll see the name getting more popular in the following few years, since a lot of people loved the movie and its charming protagonist.

It's been on my list for a while, it slid down to the bottom for a bit but the film has rekindled my love for it :) I like it as a nickname for Juniper

I personaly prefer Hera it refers to the same godesse as Juno but its in Grec mythology

Juno is completely a girl's name, as it's a goddess's name.

I have it on my list, but probably wouldn't use it. It would be a MN if I did.

It's alright. I think I would like it better on a boy. June or Juna for a girl would be cute.
