Hello!
We decided tonight that we both love the name Luna. We think it is beautiful. It means moon but is also associated with magic and madness which is an idea we think is very cool ha.
Possibly will team it with Violet as a middle name as this was initially top of our girls list.
Keeping names and gender(once we find out in two weeks) a secret so can't ask for friends opinions so what do you guys think?
I myself have an unusual name (first middle and maiden name) and usually suffered from awkward spelling and mispronunciation due to this, tended to be known by a nickname til my mid teens. However this shouldn't be an issue with Luna as its pretty straightforward. Plus I now love my name and appreciate the fact I know nobody else with it, and never have!
So opinions please on Luna possibly followed by Violet. Mental or quirky?
Thanks!

Luna Violet....Too far out or manageable?

I like Violet, sorry but Luna is quite pretty and also the name of a buggy - as has been pointed out I'm sure - and I'm not sure about the combination.
But if you love it then do it 
Welly - because generally, people ask strangers on the internet their opinons, for that very reason - to find out what people really think, rather than the polite "er, well, it wouldn't be my choice" or "It's quite unusual, isn't it" comments people would get in real life, by asking their friends.
IMVHO Viviennemary wasn't rude at all - she was being open and honest with her thoughts. If you don't want that, then don't start a baby names thread asking what people think! 
I think it's "dreadful" and if a footballer has called his child Luna it goes out of the "far out" category straight into the "what celebs name their kids" category. but I will adjust my answer to your "strict guidelines on how to answer a baby name thread"
It's not to my taste
