My order of preference

Iris, really lovely beautiful name
Skye, love this name but is really popular where I am
Willow, I liked this for my DD but given that I am a short arse thought I'd better not!
Luna, not so keen on this one

Skye is my DD's middle name so am biased but I do prefer it to the others.

These names are mentioned so often and I imagine them being the equivalent of Sharon & Karen in my day. I do quite like the name Skye though. Would be concerned that Luna would be called Lunatic by those pesky peers of hers.

I like Willow (because of Buffy) and Luna (Bear in the big blue house, rather than Harry Potter!)

Not keen on the other two.

I like Iris but not the others personally.

Think Luna is a really naff thing to call a child.

Iris or Skye.

Luna sounds like the name of a cat or a harry potter character, and she will be called 'loony' throughout her schooldays.

willow is kind of naff - what if she were short and dumpy?

They are all woo, ethereal sort of names, apart from Iris who is a mother-in-law with varicose veins. She has sisters called Doris and Mavis.

As I'm sure you know, 'Luna' means 'Moon'. I don't wish to sound critical, but I really don't understand why anyone would want to call a child that.

Skye is a popular name for sheepdogs where I live.

Willow is pretty but might not suit a person with a sturdy or rounded figure.

Irises are beautiful flowers and are used in many perfumes - both are lovely associations for a name.

Thanks. I think Iris is my favourite.
I have seen (on another board) Luna described as being a 'D List celeb' name, which is a shame. I worry that Skye and Willow are a bit hippy but I do love them.

Iris by far.

I'm afraid I agree with the D List celeb comments re Luna.
