Help[Opinions] Venus
Today's name of the day is Venus. WDYT?
I have two associations with Venus: 1. the planet (obviously); and 2. Venus Williams. Now, people certainly use names from astronomy - most often stars and moons - but it's much rarer to be named after a whopping planet in our solar system. Other than perhaps Mars, this is the only one that can be reasonably used for humans. (I've certainly never met a Jupiter or a Mercury.) It's a lot of name. Couple that with Venus Williams being as famous as she is, and it might be too big for most people. (I also happen to prefer Aphrodite anyway.)

I don’t like names too strongly associated with beauty, I don’t think the sound of Venus is particularly nice either.

I have always associated the name Venus with mythology and have always adored the name. In Italian mythology, Venus is a Goddess associated with cultivated fields and gardens. In Roman mythology, Venus is a Goddess whose functions encompassed love, beauty, desire, sex, fertility, prosperity, and victory. I know to most this would make the name undesirable but it honestly doesn't affect how I feel about the name, I mainly focus on the beauty part because my name, Kalista, is a variant to the Greek name Kallistō, a name meaning "most beautiful". I think I like it mostly because it has a similar meaning to my name.
