What do you think of Luna Mia? Translates to 'my moon' (I think!)

Or hair removal as per Philips Lumea.

Also lune de miel is French for honeymoon.

bridgetreilly · 01/05/2018 10:13

Lunamia sounds like a brand of menstrual cup, sorry.

FizzyGreenWater · 01/05/2018 09:54

The translation is so obviously deliberate that it comes across as really tacky, although individually both are very nice names. So no I don't think it works.

o0o0 · 30/04/2018 22:33

It definitely sounds like a handheld device. Either a sex toy or a breast pump or something....

WinnieThePooh6 · 30/04/2018 22:26

I like both but not together. The two 'a' endings don't flow well.

Ellenripleysalienbaby · 30/04/2018 20:44

Maybe not Luna Mia - as well as everything people have said on here, I don't know, 'my moon' just reminds me of pulling a moonie! Like, 'my bum'.

Luna Marie is nice.

Marcipex · 30/04/2018 20:39

Sorry, Luna is too close to lunatic. Actually, much much too close.

How about Lyra, Linnea, Linnet?

Tumbleted · 30/04/2018 20:22

Sounds a bit like Lumineer so reminds me of the band sorry

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 30/04/2018 16:17

I get the astral connection but I really personally can’t bear “Luna” as a name.

For me it just brings up “lunatic” and images of Victorian Bedlam etc.

For something a bit “out there” perhaps Lorelai?

RavenWings · 30/04/2018 16:14

Luna and Mia are pretty generic names these days, nothing unusual about them. Together it's just a bit clunky.

LinoleumBlownapart · 30/04/2018 14:31

Not together.

DunnoWhy · 30/04/2018 14:28

Personally no to Luna. Mia is fine but together it's quite pretentious, trying too hard to sound like Italian but failing to be genuine Italian. Even if you are half/quarter etc Italian, it still doesn't sound well together.
Unless you have roots in another nationality, it's never pretty to name your child in another language.

PuppyMonkey · 30/04/2018 14:21

Apart from all the valid points made already, it makes me sing the name to the tune of Mamma Mia.

Sorry but I really don’t see the appeal of the name Luna at all.Confused

fearfultrill · 30/04/2018 14:20

Nice individually but they don't flow together. The a sound at the end of both names doesn't work at all

Peregrane · 30/04/2018 14:17

I was coming to advise you against it on account that it translates to "my moon"! Much too obviously so... I mean, would you actually call a child My Moon (in the English version)? It's practically the same. Even with the appalling ignorance of foreign languages in the UK, the proportion of the population to whom you'd have to actually explain the name must be tiny.

TatianaLarina · 30/04/2018 14:11

Mia is very overused, Luna is a bit meh.

sexnotgender · 30/04/2018 13:02

Mia is soooo overdone.

Luna is ok ish but not great.

pipilangstrumpf · 30/04/2018 13:01

They don't work together imo.

Luna is lovely but Mia is dull imo

Sophronia · 30/04/2018 12:12

Luna and Mia aren’t uncommon names.

Cosmoa · 30/04/2018 12:05

Really don't understand where the negativity is coming from!

Luna Mia is absolutely GORGEOUS! Smile

If you like uncommon names I wouldn't suggest them on mums net haha 😂

Copperbonnet · 30/04/2018 03:51

I don’t think they work well together unfortunately.

stellinaa · 30/04/2018 03:04

Mia is such a blah name. I like Luna, though think it would be better as a middle name. Any other names you've shortlisted?

Puffycat · 30/04/2018 02:39

Nit good together but both nice separately

AnyaMoondial · 30/04/2018 02:37

Luna is a great name.

RedDwarves · 30/04/2018 00:25

Lovely names separately, but they don’t work together. I’m not sure why you would want a name which translates to “my moon”, anyway?
