Id never considered this name before but DH mentioned it last night and im thinking on it.

He has suggested barely any names, and this is by far the nicest on his list (of Chloe, Jess, Luna). However he refuses to make proper suggestions til the anomoly scan next week and hopefully finding out the sex.

The Harry Potter connection I quite like, as DDs first and middle names are both from books I loved as a child so itd be nice to have a HP name in there somewhere.

Is it too popular? It also is quite different to names on my shirtlist (Olive, Norah). Surname Cavendish.

Oops bloody auto correct that's meant to say HP not he.

I really like it and think it's really pretty BUT sorry for being a bit of a HE geek but in the book luna was teased and called loony lovegood. That would be my only apprehension. I do like it though!

It's the name of one of Frank Lampard's daughters isn't it? That would automatically put me off.
Doesn't seem like a proper name to me anyway. Sorry.

My mind always fills in '...tic' when I hear 'Luna'.

And I'm tired of all the Luna Nina Mara Mira Mala Mila Lola names. I used to like them, but they're all getting a bit samey.

Gorgeous name. Personally I don't think loony, I think moon.

I love it, it's unusual without being completely bizarre. Very pretty!

EyelinerQueen · 31/05/2014 12:48

I love it.

No idea what the Harry Potter connection is but it makes me think of luna being the spanish for moon and I like nature/astrology/slightly hippy names Smile.

Also love Nora (no H). Both sound great with your surname.

I really don't like it. It reminds me of the word 'loony' which I know is offensive.

Besides that, it's just not a pleasant sound.

Norah and Jess are both gorgeous however!

I'm sorry, I just automatically think lunatic.
