Is it too posh?

We have chosen the name Luna for our baby girl, but some friends said it sounds too posh?!?

Your DC will be called "loony" at some point
I'm afraid I agree with this
Beautiful name though and definitely not posh

I don't care! Tell him he's dead to me!

Arsenic · 30/08/2015 14:12

Oh Mama, Frank speaks very well of you

Not posh but it is a popular name for dogs and cats in Italy. I'd avoid it if you have any sort of Italian connection.
A lot of other countries have fairgrounds called 'Luna Park' so again worth considering if you have Euro/ Aussie relatives.
Apart from that I like it!

MamaLazarou · 30/08/2015 09:24

I don't use the 'c' word myself but agree that it's not the most refined name. Frank Lampard has a daughter named Luna.

"Chavvy" Flotilla? Really? More hippy, I'd have thought. It's very pretty.

MrsGentlyBenevolent · 29/08/2015 14:40

Not posh, an unfortunate fashion trend at the moment. Have only heard it used in real life as the name of people's dogs, actually. The fact it's a diminutive of Lunatic is more than enough to put me off. Then again, I think all 'celestial' names are a bit silly and 'much', but obviously each to their own.

cocobean2805 · 29/08/2015 14:25

I quite like it. But can't use it ever, combined with our last name would dictate all kinds of unkind nicknames and the poor kid would essentially be 'moon moon'

flotillas70 · 27/08/2015 23:29

Chavvy.

LunaSonny · 27/08/2015 23:21

I love it Wouldn't say it was posh, more 'different'

Its spanish for 'moon'

Finallyonboard · 27/08/2015 23:12

Not posh at all.

NeedsAsockamnesty · 27/08/2015 23:07

I know a lovely lady called Luna she's 94 perfectly normal not posh or anything else.

She smiles lots smells of lemons and makes me smile

Smellyoulateralligator · 27/08/2015 22:59

No that doesn't work.

Smellyoulateralligator · 27/08/2015 22:57

Spell it Plyeunagh, I reckon .

Seriously though, if you like it it doesn't matter what anyone thinks. Luna is nice name, although I'd assume you are a HP fan.

Because I don't really want a posh name. Don't want people thinking I'm trying to be something I'm not.

Why do you care if it's 'posh'? It isn't, anyway.

BabyLadyGirl · 27/08/2015 22:40

Do you think it will become much more popular?

OP posts:

lunar1 · 27/08/2015 21:15

It really needs the r on the end

Doublebubblebubble · 27/08/2015 21:13

Not posh at all. It does remind me of my dds buggy (Luna mix from mamas and papas) though. If you like it go for it who cares what anyone else thinks XP

ImperialBlether · 27/08/2015 18:13

It's the opposite of posh.

MamaLazarou · 27/08/2015 18:10

Luna's not posh in the slightest. Quite the opposite, in fact.

PermetsTu · 27/08/2015 18:08

I think it used to be considered a fairly hippy type name but through popular use it has morphed into quite run of the mill. It's similar in feel to names like Eden or Summer. Climbing the charts.

Not posh at all.

LilacLavender · 27/08/2015 18:05

(Who have made the name climb!)
