NO WAY! Not with the movie Juno and the fact that:
"The girl’s name Juno \j(u)-no\ is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "queen of heaven". Roman mythology: Juno was the protectress of women and of marriage; hence June is known as the bridal month. In modern times, "Junoesque" is used for tall women with curvy figures."
Maybe Juni?

Ditto Regan. Naming a boy Juno would be the same as naming a boy Sarah or Emily. It’s just not a boy’s name.

Maybe Julio or Jonah?

This name has pretty strong associations as a female name.. the goddess, the movie character, etc.

I like it much more for a girl but it could maybe work for a boy. It reminds me of the old lady ghost from Beetlejuice. GL!

I would go with Julio, Jonas or Jonah and give him the nn JUNO. TO me Juno sounds like a unisex name. However it is a girls name.

My new baby nephew has just been given the name Juno and I think it’s a great name for either sex. As the saying goes what’s in a name? :)

To be honest, before i knew about the Godess and movie i thought it was a boy name. like for some reason i feel like if those two weren’t named juno, then Juno would be specified as either a unisex name of just simply a boy name:)

Juno is actually okay for both boys and girls.
Like, there are ’girl’ names and ’boy’ names, I mean why not let it be a unisexual name, right???
The goddess is Juno- but Artemis is also a goddess, but there are plenty of men with the name Artemis- think of Artemis Fowl! :) :)

It's ok because it is used as a boy name in the Eastern Asia.

The Nordic meaning of Juno is tiller of the fields. Quite masculine. I've also seen a Latin description as celestial. My next horse is called junior so I'm changing it to Juno. My kids are grown up so now I'm naming horses. lol
