(51 Posts)I really like it but have seen such negativity online and I know the family would all hate it!
I also like Lyra but OH doesn't. Will have to fit with Jacob, whatever name we choose.
Selene or Selena.
Celeste
Nova
Leila
Lydia
Wasn't sure if you're looking for a similar sound or a similar meaning!
I love Luna but sadly DP says too many dogs have the name.
How about
Leia
Lila
Aria
Amara
Elena
Loony Luna sadly, I like it too but I’d never use it.
Lyra is too near liar imo.
Una seems to be nearest in sound.
L names:
Lucy
Loveday
Lottie
Moon names
Selene/Selena
Star names:
Stella
Astrid
Seren
I personally think Luna is lovely and think your family would get used to it. It’s a fairly mainstream name now. Its not going to shock anyone in reality.
Similar (ish) names
Cora
Willa
Holly
Aria
I love it but it’s overused by babies and pets.
My friend recently wanted to name her baby Luna but her OH didn’t like it so they went with Leila instead.
Lena
Cara
Hannah
Summer
Melissa
Emily
Eris - is a dwarf plant as well as the Greek goddess of chaos.
One of our cats is called this but would work nicely for a person too!
Cassia
Fern
Etta
Willow
Lenore
Lilah
Cleo
Juno
Aria
Athena
Demi
Lois
Clover
Lexie
Celestia
Surely it has to be Lara?
Lana, Lena, Layla, Leah
Definitely associate it with a cat's name!
How about:-
Lara
Elena (or Eleanor spelling)
Leonie
Kiera
Seren
Sophia
Oh and Layla and Lucy
Lana
Georgia
Kiera
Another vote for Lara or Leia.
Lana or Lara
What about Luana?
Thea.
Lula
Leah
Hmmm maybe not actually, I think Leah was one of Jacob's wives in the old testament... maybe not great for brother and sister!
Lila/Lilah
I think Lucy has a similar sound.
Eden has a similar feel.
My suggestions
Lucia
Selena
Portia
