There's a girl called Moon in Cobra Kai. She kind of suits it, she's a bit of a hippy!

I was coming to say this. I really like the name because of this, and it no negative connotations would have crossed my mind!

OriginalUsername2 · 23/09/2022 13:03

Moon also means getting your bum out. It’s a NO from me!

Smileandtheworldsmileswithyou · 23/09/2022 13:01

Please don’t call your child moon, that would be awful for her. Would you have been happy if you had had to go through your life (school and being a teenager) with the name moon? It’s almost guaranteeing that she will be bullied.

Luna is lovely

properdoughnut · 23/09/2022 12:52

Can't stand Luna.

Dacadactyl · 23/09/2022 12:30

Lol. Absolutely no way OP

RuthW · 23/09/2022 12:23

Ummm no!

@WhackingPhoenix Ha, ha- so would mine- he's more of an Emily, Lucy kind of bloke -

SpinningFloppa · 23/09/2022 10:49

Makes me think of a bare bottom OP. Sorry!

This! Imagine the teasing at school!
Then from ‘hilarious’ lad culture.

Just don’t.

I wouldn't choose it as a name but it's so weird that people hear 'moon' and associate it with arses or sanitary products.

Luna is much nicer

MrsTerryPratchett · 23/09/2022 01:24

Moon Unit Zappa is a person. I wouldn't chose it for myself.

AuntTwacky · 23/09/2022 01:24

No!

Elspethelf · 23/09/2022 01:16

My husband went to school with either a Moona or Muna, not sure on the spelling. He loves the name and mentioned it as an option in my pregnancy. Maybe there are variations you like

Luredbyapomegranate · 23/09/2022 00:55

Selene is nice (Sell-ee-nee)

@WhackingPhoenix

Pandora is very pretty and nicely upmarket and could be nn as Dora! Haven't heard it used for a while but I like it

I love it but I think my DP would look at me like I’d lost the plot entirely Grin

Dinoteeth · 23/09/2022 00:08

Tania or Tanya would work without the Tit bit.

It's definitely one of those things kids especially will take the piss out a name if they can. And really it's avoiding giving them the ammunition to fire.

MagnoliatheMagnificent · 23/09/2022 00:05

One of our hamsters is called Moon... he is nocturnal!

Discovereads · 23/09/2022 00:03

Dinoteeth · 23/09/2022 00:00

Not Titania especially if she becomes a bit chubby Titania / Titanic but you also have Tit in there really not good.

All good points. Have to consider the worst.

ThistleSifter · 23/09/2022 00:03

Except just thought Ophelia could be said “can I have Ophelia arse?” Lol

Still pretty written down though
