One last name I'd just like to throw out there to get your opinion on..... Luna 🌜🌚

So..... What do you all think? Please be honest! Thank you 😊

No. Very faddy and a bit naff. Lunatic, lunacy, loony, etc. The Greek moon goddess is better than the Roman one. Selene, Selena, Celine, etc.

I love it, but it's far too popular now so I wouldn't use it. It seems every newborn girl/kitten/puppy is named Luna right now, there's be 5 to a class in 4 years time.

2 from work recently gave birth and named their babies Luna, plus my neighbour, and one of my cousins last year. It's this years "Lily".

I love the name Luna but I know four different people who have called their dog Luna in the last 2 years and that now means I see it as a dogs name. There are two Luna's in my puppy training class of 6 dogs!

Beautiful.

But I must confess we chickened out of using it for DD and it's a middle name instead. I was worried about the inevitable loony name calling and that many would only see the Harry Potter connection.

But if that does not worry you, go ahead, it's a lovely name. And a beautiful celestial object! Wink

I prefer Luca. The associated with lunatic for Luna just puts me off.

Lovely name, but seems to be getting very popular (if that's something that would bother you).

I like it. Pretty, short and not too out there.
