What do we think of Luna?
I really like it but I guess I'm worried that it will be seen as tacky in a few years. Is it like Skye, Scarlet etc or do you think it's more timeless and solid like Iris?
Honest opinions please!

Lovegood. Sorry!

I like it! I have a friend whose baby is a Luna. They are a little bit alternative and I have a feeling it will suit this child. It's a little hippy but not overly so.

Most names are of their time aren't they? Maybe not the really traditional ones especially for boys.

I think it's a bit tacky and will definitely date. Maybe use it as a middle name?

The dog and looney issues don't bother me. I just don't want to choose a fad name that will be seen as tacky in a few years!

Loony Luna will be just too easy.

i like Luna :)

I think it is quite "now" - super popular with under 5s where I live, I know loads! So I think it will be associated with a certain time, yes.

I really like it and have considered it for our own dd but don’t think it’s timeless, although I also wouldn’t call it a ‘fad’ name!

I've known too many dogs with that name so can't imagine it on a human I'm afraid.

The dog owners would joke that it's short for lunatic.

Plus it's Spanish for Moon...which you might want to think about.
