My DP and I are expecting our first, surname will be his of Moon, which I absolutely love (didn't take my ex H surname for what I claimed were feminist reasons at the time but it was made easier cos his surname was complete shite)

Anyway as much as I love the surname I'm finding it can tend to make an otherwise 'normal' name come across more hippy dippy, not necessarily a bad thing but wanted to run by the mumsnet clan our shortlist:

Theodore 'Teddy' Moon
Rupert Moon
Jasper Moon
Felix Moon

For a girl the only one we really like and agree on is Matilda Moon.

I voted Felix. I think you have to be careful it doesn't sound like a cartoon character which I think Teddy Moon does. Rupert might get shortend to Roo Moon

Honestly I quite like all of them, although I do associate Jasper with black labs! Usually I hate 90% of the ideas in baby name threads!
