I've been so into Neptune and Neptunine for the last like, 2+ years. Love it.

I think it's a beautiful name!

I think it's pretty and fun. I think of Neptune as being feminine energy in astrology, so I would be OK using it for a girl.

---

Except, the energy and symbolism of Neptune is a little bit complex in my life right now, so it wouldn't be a straightforward blessing to use it. Lol.

Pretty stupid and obnoxious as a name on someone, though I will admit I’ve been intrigued by Neptunine.

It would likely be decent as a middle name but I feel like only some people could really pull it off.

---

I’d prefer the prettier planet names Mars, Venus, or Saturnina.

It's great for a character. Middle name material on a person.

I just posted about Mars without reading your post first. I like it.

Neptune just doesn't have the best sound, in my opinion.

Hi !!!

---

I like Neptune.

---

I actually love any nature-themed name and also the mythological ones.

---

Being named after a planet is not so different to be named after a star or a moon.

---

Why Luna, Soleil, Venus or Electra would be good and Neptune instead is seen as ridicolous?

---

In my opinion there is no difference. I like it a lot!

I wouldn't use it myself for a human because I'm wary of the ocean, but I can imagine calling someone Neptune and liking it.
Part of me doesn't like the nep sound (I think nepotism), but I would probably get over that if I met one.

---

I think it's better than Adonis (which is in the US top 300), weirder than Ocean, and about the same level of weird as Jupiter, Napoleon, Boone, Venus.

---

For context: I like Dionysus, Minerva, Saturnina, June.
I know a song called "Father Neptune" that maybe makes it sound more namey to me than it would be otherwise.

Do people use Mars as a name? I've never come across it.
