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?

Wet I'm afraid!

I love it. I am having a little girl and Luna Grace is on my possible list Smile

I really like it, have lots of fond Spanish memories. However, a few footballers/footballers wives have named their dd this so that does put me off it a bit.

Aha, the prison on men in black 3 is called lunar max. I have watched that way too many times!

I love it! Definitely think you should use it.

SupermansBigRedPants · 11/07/2013 17:59

No strong feelings either way but I keep thinking 'lunar max' and don't know why. I'm off to Google what I'm on about.

Wbdn28 · 11/07/2013 17:56

Lunatic springs to mind I'm afraid!

Mondayschild78 · 11/07/2013 17:54

I like it a lot

GwendolineMaryLacey · 11/07/2013 17:35

Lovely.

I was gunna have Luna for DD and thought about it for one of these new arrivals but decided against it. I love the name but DH didn't.

Ah cool Smile Yes I think we'd probably end up calling her Loony anyway Wink lol my parents called me all sorts of ginger hair related nicknames as a kid so I was never bothered by it - maybe that is the way to go!

Plus she's one of my favourite HP characters Smile glad we won't be lumbering her with something awful!

Its a lovely name, also heard Lyra the other day which I think is lovely too.

Branleuse · 11/07/2013 16:32

I love it

Bogeyface · 11/07/2013 16:32

I like it!

Yes it is in HP but it isnt as though you are calling her Hermione!

irregularegular · 11/07/2013 16:32

Just so long as you are happy with her being called "Loony" - inevitable, I think.

roguepixie · 11/07/2013 16:32

Defo Harry Potter but I like it anyway.

Go ahead and use it.
