Luna is the one I like best.

Raine means 'Queen'. To many, it's still strongly associated with controversial socialite Raine Spencer (Lady Diana's stepmother, cruelly nicknamed 'Acid Raine') en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raine_Spencer,_Countess_Spencer

I agree with others that Blue is a colour, not a name.

Tate is a surname, so is Tatum. I'm not really a fan of surnames as first names, though I rather like them as second or third names, especially if there is a family connection.

So either Tate or Tatum might make a good middle name, perhaps? That would give your daughter a choice. If she grew up to share your love for the name, she could choose to use it.

'Luna Tate' or 'Luna Tatum' sound pleasantly original. Or even 'Luna Tatum Raine....'

Raine

Mumofgirls2017 · 20/02/2022 07:20

Luna by a mile. Itā€™s really pretty

garlictwist · 20/02/2022 04:31

Tate is a surname and rather masculine.

Raine isn't a word

Luna is a bit of the moment and makes me think of madness.

So none of them from me.

ElevenOG · 20/02/2022 04:28

I love Tatum!

How about Bloom?

CakesOfVersailles · 20/02/2022 04:14

Luna.

Elspethelf · 20/02/2022 03:56

Of these names, Luna is my fave x

deadlanguage · 19/02/2022 23:45

Tatum makes me think of Channing Tatum, not feminine at all. Itā€™s a bit redneck.

I really like Lara but i know one and the connection would just feel weird and uncomfortable to me! Lyra is cute but does remind me of lycra lol šŸ˜‚ thank you for your suggestions šŸ’“

Tate is a boys name.
Raine - unusual, makes me think of Princess Diana (her step-mother)
Luna - never been keen on this name, but seems popular,
Blue - never been popular on colours as names

Luredbyapomegranate · 19/02/2022 22:15

God, I never say this but I really donā€™t like any of them Op. Luna is loony, Raine just sounds like the back end of Lorraine, Blue is depressing and Tate is a boyā€™s name.

How about Lara, Lyra or Leila? Or Rose?

Thewindwhispers · 19/02/2022 20:10

Raine or Luna.

Please not Blue. They wonā€™t use it and theyā€™ll be annoyed with you about it. ā€œIā€™m Blueā€ means ā€œIā€™m miserableā€ why on earth would you give your child such a crap name?

Tate is a boys name.

DramaAlpaca · 19/02/2022 20:08

Raine is the best of a bunch that are not to my taste at all.

Luna isn't awful, but Tate and Blue really are, for either sex.

OhYeahyeahyeah · 19/02/2022 20:07

Raine

I really like Luna but it's very popular where I am!

ofwarren · 19/02/2022 20:05

Luna

Dreamingof3 · 19/02/2022 20:04

I'd choose Raine. Blue for me is now the dinosaur in jurassic world šŸ˜‚ love her. I'd have Tate for a boy and luna is really overdone around me and I know as many pet lunas as children

Candleabra · 19/02/2022 19:21

Raine
Does it go with your surname?

MrsToadflax · 19/02/2022 19:20

Raine, really not keen on the others.

Margo34 · 19/02/2022 19:20

Luna Blue

Fundays12 · 19/02/2022 19:18

Raine or Luna. I know a few boys under 10 called Tate so probably wouldn't. I just don't like Blue sorry

theotherfossilsister · 19/02/2022 19:18

Raine is really pretty

deadlanguage · 19/02/2022 19:17

Luna. Tate sounds like a boy, I don't like Raine and Blue doesn't sound like a name. Rain and blue are more like negative words to me, particularly blue (i.e. feeling blue) so I wouldn't choose either of those.

KylieCharlene · 19/02/2022 19:15

Luna.
I do like Tate but for a boy.

StrawberryLadybird · 19/02/2022 19:14

Definitley Luna.
