I like all your choices. I recently met someone named Alaska, it really suited her.

Love Luna!
Love Lux -but only as a middle name
Not sure about Alaska -it sounds lovely, but I can't stop thinking about.... Well, Alaska!!

The boys names sound very American to me (not meant as a bad thing, that's just what pops into my head when I hear them)

Like Luna and Sonny.

Love the sound of Alaska actually, but would need a special connection to the place I think.

I don't like any of them, but I have quite boring taste in names so ignore me :o

I like Luna- Alaska just makes me think of the drag queen Alaska Thunderf*ck who was on RuPaul's drag race, sorry! She's very fabulous though ;)

I don't like any of the girls names, but I think Luna is the least awful. I'm not a fan of word names in general though.

I really like Jackson and Austin. I don't like Sonny.

I wouldn't choose any of them personally, but if I had to, Luna and Jackson.

American sounding (not a bad thibg)
Not sure about sonny (maybe it's because my dad called the brother 'sonny Jim' if he was naughty!).

Lux- isn't that a skincare brand?
Luna- ok but a hit periody for me, makes me think of the word lunatic
Alaska- not sure

Jackson- tolerable but why not jack?
Austin- like
Sonny- feels very nicknamey

Love Lux, love Sonny, I also love Austin because I know a lovely one, Jackson only I think if you have an affinity with the place or love a song/thing tied to it. Luna I don't like, not least because I know a fair few strippers/adult entertainment workers who use the name.

Don't like Alaska because it makes me think of baked Alaska.

These all all sound very Americana, which might feel a bit stale when not so fashionable in a few years. Good luck finding a name, it's so hard!Thanks

I like Alaska. Not sure about the others
Lux is a hipster name, I think and will date
Sonny sounds like a nickname and would be hard to carry off in middle and old age
Luna - might get teased with Lunatic
I prefer Jack to Jackson

Luna and Austin - great names

Report
Penguinotterfoxbadger · 29/03/2015 09:05

1st thoughts are that they are very American and not really to my taste, although Austin is OK.

I'm another one with pretty dull taste in names though, so feel free to ignore!

I love Lux, I have done since I read The Virgin Suicides. If this connection doesn't bother you I would go for it.

Jackson is the best boys name.

AccidentalAnarchist · 29/03/2015 09:16

Luna - knew a cat called Luna
Lux - soap
Alaska - baked Alaska?!

Jackson - my taste is away from surname for first name. Also I still think of Michael...
Austin - car
Sonny - the only sonny I know is the son of a heroin addict and looks just like him

Sorry Confused

Lux makes me think of soap, too sorry.

Luna - too close to loony.

Alaska - I like the sound of it, but assuming you have no associations with the state of Alaska, I'm not keen.

But I love all three of your boys names!
