Luna Violet....Too far out or manageable?

Hello!
We decided tonight that we both love the name Luna. We think it is beautiful. It means moon but is also associated with magic and madness which is an idea we think is very cool ha.
Possibly will team it with Violet as a middle name as this was initially top of our girls list.
Keeping names and gender(once we find out in two weeks) a secret so can't ask for friends opinions so what do you guys think?
I myself have an unusual name (first middle and maiden name) and usually suffered from awkward spelling and mispronunciation due to this, tended to be known by a nickname til my mid teens. However this shouldn't be an issue with Luna as its pretty straightforward. Plus I now love my name and appreciate the fact I know nobody else with it, and never have!
So opinions please on Luna possibly followed by Violet. Mental or quirky?
Thanks!

It sounds lovely but... sounds like mamas and papas puschair.

Its definately nice though i think you should go for it.

I think the two names go nicely together and it sounds very pretty.

Go for it!

It's gorgeous and so original.

I love it but would never have the nerve personally as its a bit too out there for me Grin

Go for it if you want to!
