The problem with luna for me is that it sounds like it should be a unique, quirky name but it's become so, so popular in my area (I personally know four of the under 3, and know of a few more) I think it will date.

No for the reasons stated above.
How about

Louisa

Lunatic or dogs name

iVampire · 23/04/2020 12:27

It’s a very popular dogs name round here

covidcougher · 23/04/2020 12:16

I always think lunatic

MikeUniformMike · 23/04/2020 12:14

So many Luna, Lola, Lily, Lyra, Lara, Layla type names.

Too HP and too looney.

Marcipex · 23/04/2020 11:48

I love the sound and the meaning, but I couldn’t use it. Too much teasing potential there.

toughgetsgoing · 23/04/2020 11:36

loony sorry but the sound is actually nice

BilboBercow · 22/04/2020 23:32

I'd presume you were a harry potter fan

Jamiladodger · 22/04/2020 23:29

I honestly really like it. It's sweet without being sugary, succinct and has a beautiful meaning.

It's been quite popular which has put me off it slightly but I feel like that popularity is dying down a bit and right now would be the perfect time to use it.

IHateCoronavirus · 22/04/2020 23:13

I teach two in one class. Both lovely little girls.

stickygotstuck · 22/04/2020 23:12

Is it really popular here now? I haven't met any so far. DD is 12.

user those names are nothing alike, I think you just don't like the sound "L" Grin

WyfOfBathe that would have been fine. I know of two Spanish girls called that! I think the meaning is the point.

MysweetAudrina · 22/04/2020 23:04

One of my cats is called Luna.

Mucklowe · 22/04/2020 23:00

Dreadful name.

WyfOfBathe · 22/04/2020 22:48

I love it. It was top of our list for DD2.

But we were considering a move to Spain at the time and didn't want to send a child called Moon into a Spanish school!

user1493494961 · 22/04/2020 22:42

Really dislike these Luna, Lila, Lola type names, lots of them about.

toastofthetown · 22/04/2020 22:03

Luna sounds pretty, but it is having a massive spike in popularity. I think it will end up incredibly dated.

Ineedabreak19 · 22/04/2020 21:51

I went to school with a Luna and she was lovely. She was called luney tunes & lunatic for short though.

How about Lena as an alternative short name beginning with L.

Chandra is hindi for moon and often used as a girl's name. Selene is also the Greek equivalent and is a very beautiful lunar themed girls name.

GetTheSprinkles · 22/04/2020 21:33

As a vet, I know A LOT of dogs and cats called Luna so , to me, it's not a human name :/

CanIHaveAPenguinPlease · 22/04/2020 21:32

I know a fair few dogs with the name.

Also know a few Luca’s. All boys.

Chelsie2020 · 22/04/2020 21:28

I like it for a dog 🐶

tiredanddangerous · 22/04/2020 21:17

Harry Potter. And that character is called looney for short.

Whatsyourflava · 22/04/2020 21:07

I really love the name Luna! Not actually met anyone with this name but a friend of a friend has a gorgeous little girl called Luna- really suits her

HopeYouStepOnALego · 22/04/2020 21:02

I'll just point out my dog is 8 so I've not recently jumped on the bandwagon Grin

HopeYouStepOnALego · 22/04/2020 21:00

It's my dog's name and I know at least two other canine Lunas, although I have heard it once on a child. My dog gets called Luna-tic and Looney Tunes, amongst other things, so the same nicknames could get used for your child by others. I do like it as a name though.
