What does everyone think of Luna?

Me and DH rarely agree on names but one that we both like is Luna. I think it would go well as our surname is Spanish. I haven't told DH it is the name of a character in Harry Potter as he'd probably go off it and currently he absolutely loves it!

I just worry people will think it's weird, what do you think?

Callmedreckly · 12/07/2013 20:14

Does your surname begin with C?

pleiadianpony · 12/07/2013 20:07

If you are having a july baby it would also be extra appropriate!

pleiadianpony · 12/07/2013 20:07

Love it. Beautiful.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 12/07/2013 19:50

Love it. Go for it.

rosyryan · 12/07/2013 19:50

It's gorgeous. I love it.

dimdommilpot · 12/07/2013 19:48

I really wanted it as DDs middle name but OH wouldnt allow.
I love it!

Linguaphile · 12/07/2013 19:45

Pretty, but Loony Lovegood does spring to mind.

Fifi2406 · 12/07/2013 16:18

Yessssss!! Luna is my favourite Harry potter film character! I like it

PestoSwimissimos · 12/07/2013 11:48

I also like Solar.

WhereBeThatBlackbirdTo · 12/07/2013 11:48

I love it.

Love Juno as well which (to me) is similar

bassingtonffrench · 12/07/2013 11:46

I know one of a bout 4 and I'm afraid I don't like the sound of it or its associations (moon, lunatic)

PestoSwimissimos · 12/07/2013 11:44

Pretty Smile

Oldandcobwebby · 12/07/2013 11:43

I loved Luna on "Bear in the Big Blue House". Cute name.

MolotovCocktail · 12/07/2013 11:40

I think Luna is lovely :)

I also like Lola, Lula, Nuala (Noo-la), so it was always going to be a hit for me Grin

Luna.
Makes me think of the moon and that it's a good strong female name.
I love it.

pygmy · 11/07/2013 20:57

Flimsy and a bit celeb-y.

SecondRow · 11/07/2013 20:54

I know a Luna aged about 4, I did briefly think Harry Potter when I first met her but I now mainly think of moon imagery, she has big eyes and is rather a thoughtful and placid child and it suits her very well. I don't think I would pick this name myself but I like it!

rowtunda · 11/07/2013 20:50

Lunatic

shazbean · 11/07/2013 20:48

I know a girl called Luna and I have to say I really do not like it as a name. Also with a Spanish surname.
Apart from the lunatic connotations I don't really like the way it sounds.
Sorry.

hollyisalovelyname · 11/07/2013 20:43

Luna...tic
Sorry

Rhubarbgarden · 11/07/2013 20:29

Really don't like it at all. Seems somehow insubstantial.
