Luna

Thoughts on Luna? Would like others opinions :)

[SirBoobAlot]

Know someone who has just used this.

Think its a cats name, and will forever be associated with Harry Potter.

[Badgerina]

Luna Lovegood is awesome though

[Springforward]

Lovegood - are you OK with that?

[JambalayaCodfishPie]

It's cool. I like it

But very easy for other kids to link it to HP Lunas unfortunate nickname - Loony. Does your surname begin with L? You might get away with it if not.

I love Luna, it is the name of my 6yr old........ weimaraner.

[CanoeSlalom]

It's nice but I think "lunatic" jokes would be inevitable.

[MrsBingo]

I have always liked it but would never use it because of its meaning/connotation: the moon, craziness, nighttime, it's fascinating but a bit dark.

[fivegomadindorset]

As long as your surname isn't Landing.

[BoyMeetsWorld]

Lovely but definitely going to be seen as weird. & Harry Potter try-hard. Shame really as its a very pretty name...

[jaffacakehips]

Personally whist I like it, however reverse the spelling and see what you think?!?

[kilmuir]

I thought of Bear in big blue house 's friend

[jaffacakehips]

bugger! I'm such a idiot. Don't listen to me its been a very long day blame sick DC and beer!

[AndieMatrix]

My DP likes Luna if we have a girl (Luna Livegood is his face HP character!) but Even though I like it because of it being "moon" (yes, hippy tendencies) I know she'll be called Loony at school. :-(

There's a little Luna in DD2's class. I like the name though she is always scowling
When we had DD2 DH's mum wrote 'welcome baby Luna' in a card! The similarity being it began with L and ended in A.

[AndieMatrix]

*Lovegood. Stupid thumbs.

[MammyToMany]

Harry Potter was my first thought, but that wouldn't bother me, I love Harry Potter.

[ASAPRocky]

Wasn't even aware of an association or relevance to Harry potter before you guys just mentioned it. Whoops! Dont think it would put me off though. Somebody else in my family has also mentioned 'lunatic' thanks for the feedback though

[ASAPRocky]

Oh and does anybody have any similar suggestions that could possibly be used?

Luna is a beautiful name, befitting for a sweet little girl, but I cannot picture it on a 40-year-woman. Well, any woman who isn't the particular archetype of a new-ager/hippy.

maples has the right idea in selecting an alternative based on meaning. Or, choose a name with similar sounds, such as Lola, Lula, Lulu, Nuala (pronounced Nu-la).

So for me, although I really like Luna, I'd think very carefully before bestowing the name upon a child.

[BoyMeetsWorld]

Lilah, Stella and Celeste are all beautiful. Also like Seren - star in Welsh
