Absolutely not Venere. "Venereal disease" was my first association. Can't say I'm fond of Venus either. It doesn't really feel like a real name, it's a bit like naming your son Mars or Jupiter.Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?My PNL

Probably in a minority here, but I love Jupiter. I usually prefer the Greek equivalents but I'd totally use Jupiter over Zeus

Oh, and also...Bacco, tabacco e Venere riducono l'uomo in cenere...
Bacchus (ie wine), tobacco and Venus (ie love) will turn a man into cinders.

Well, I don't know if it is, but I remember it from my Italian text book in school (I studied Italian for two years).
