“Mars, can you please clean up your Legos?”
“Jupiter, finish your peas.”
“Don’t pull the cat’s tail, Mercury!”
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has released its baby name data for 2025 and it’s clear that plenty of parents found inspiration in the cosmos for their little ones. The most popular proper planet in our solar system to name a baby after in 2025 was Mars, followed by Jupiter. Thankfully, no one named their child Uranus, but 80 parents did name their child Cosmo.
Here’s the planet-baby name breakdown:
  • Mercury: 10 males
  • Venus: 96 females
  • Earth: Eight females
  • Mars: 27 females, 105 males (132 total)
  • Jupiter: 84 females, 37 males (121 total)
  • Saturn: 18 females, 8 males (26 total)
  • Uranus: Zero
  • Neptune: Eight males
A couple of our solar system’s dwarf planets also made appearances on the list:
  • Pluto: 11 males
  • Eris: 128 females, 26 males (154 total)
Of course it’s important to note that most of our solar system’s planets got their names from Roman and Greek gods and goddesses, so a love of space likely wasn’t the only motivation for new parents.

Last year, 332 parents used the name Artemis for their babies. According to baby name site Nameberry, Artemis is of Greek origin and means “safe” or “butcher.” It’s also the name of NASA’s high-profile mission to return humans to the moon.

And as a bonus fun-with-data note: the name Tesla has completely disappeared from SSA’s data. The name peaked in 2016 with 180 children given the moniker. It last appeared on the charts in 2023 when only 13 babies got the name.

For privacy purposes, the SSA only releases data on names given to at least five children. So maybe somewhere, one little Uranus is ruling the playground.
 
  • Eris: 128 females, 26 males (154 total)
Figures that one would be mostly female. Goddess of strife and deception and all that. Now how many of them are going to turn out to be BPD riddled thots I wonder

and who the fuck names a female baby jupiter? Thats a male name. Has to be some troony parents or some shit. It was also a fairly common slave name, and on that note......

and of course people would name kids pluto. a god the romans largely considered somewhat evil and deformed

They should start bringing back ancient greek names. We need more aristotles. On the other hand if that becomes a trend you just know the hoodrat community will start naming a bunch of kids 'aristotle ja'varius odyssius' and shit like that

Though hearing about the inevitable gang drive by involving aristotle busting a cap in darius plato would make for an interesting news report. Maybe a few walmarts robbed by the 13th street aristotles and the philosopher kangs
 
This is just for people with one name right?
i would guess the number is much higher for people with multiple first names.
 
Why would anyone name their kids after the goddess of discord? This is the sort of names edgy trannies give themselves.

At least Makemake is a chief god.

My username is Eris' moon. I'm surprised no one's naming their baby Apophis yet.
 
It could be worse, the astronomer who first discovered Uranus tried to name it George's Star (his patron was King George III) but no one wanted to go along with that.
Uranus is the only planet named after a Greek god, and not the Roman equivalent. They knew exactly what they were doing.
 
Aren't they forgetting one other heavenly body? :null:


Moon: 52 girls, 13 boys
Luna would by far be the most popular if that one is included and America's second most popular language is counted. Luna in 2025: 6076 girls and national ranking #27, down from peak popularity of 7853 girls and national ranking #10 in 2023.
Why would anyone name their kids after the goddess of discord? This is the sort of names edgy trannies give themselves.
It's the other way around, trannies steal the names of kids born in the year they troon out. Most mythological names, which planets are named after, are also tranny names because they're younique among normies and are of non-Christian origin without sounding non-white. Plus tranny narcissism from having a god/goddess name. Search for Mars, Artemis, Venus in the Stinkditch, you'll get lots of results (don't need to search for Luna, you all already know).
 
Why did they have to go with Mars?

Ares is way cooler. Who would not want a son who is the God of War.

idiots.

Eris is a great name if you intended to have a BPD ridden Daughter of Discord.
Except every depiction of Ares in modern fiction gets his ass kicked. Comics, Hercules/Xena, God of War, that horrible Jared Leto Tron flop.
