I like it too. It's one of those names I like but would never be brave enough to use

fanjodisfunction · 02/08/2013 20:12

I bet it sounds great in her accent. Love it.

I like it. Suggested a lot on here these days.

I found the middle name interesting because until reading about it I didn't know that in Spain children take their mothers surname not their fathers.

(The middle name is Javier Bardem's paternal surname)

Isn't Frank Lampards daughter called Luna? I remember reading that Vic Beckham wanted that for a daughter but couldn't after they used it. ( must be true Wink

DameEdnasBridesmaid · 02/08/2013 21:29

His ex is Spanish

SuzySheepSmellsNice · 02/08/2013 21:36

No Alis, they take both surnames... First surname is the father's first surname, Second surname is the mother's first surname... Easy!

Bowlersarm · 02/08/2013 21:37

Frank lampard has a Luna - born in 2005?

SuzySheepSmellsNice · 02/08/2013 21:40

Eg Carlos González Ruiz and Itzel Martínez Cervantes have a baby called Gabriel, his full name would be Gabriel González Martínez...

Alisvolatpropiis · 02/08/2013 21:40

suzy

Oh I see! Smile

I have been misinformed by an Internet article. That'll explain why I'd never heard about it before - because the article was inaccurate!

mystaplerisevil · 02/08/2013 21:41

like doing a moonie

squoosh · 02/08/2013 21:46

I don't like Luna although it seems quite trendy these days. I feel it should be followed by an exclamation mark, Luna!.

SuzySheepSmellsNice · 02/08/2013 21:46

Sorry to rant, its something I've explained a lot (like the pronunciation of Paella!), all part and parcel of the Spanish degree... and me being a massive pedant!

I think Luna is a very nice name and Cruz (as in Beckham) is a girl's name

So does that make her Luna Bardem Cruz?

Superene · 02/08/2013 22:05

Luna? Is it short for lunatic?
Terrible

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 02/08/2013 22:06

I like Luna

But Luna Cruz sounds like a moonlight boat trip...

Thurlow · 02/08/2013 22:07

Luna Cruz! Ha! I hadn't thought of it that way. That's absolutely hilarious.

SuzySheepSmellsNice · 02/08/2013 22:08

Yes Luna Bardem Cruz... And if she only uses one surname, it'll be Bardem... Luna Cruz is funny though

SuzySheepSmellsNice · 02/08/2013 22:09

Luna means Moon Superene

bulletwithbutterflywings · 02/08/2013 22:10

Dani Filth's (from Cradle of Filth) daughter is called Luna...

RemoteControlledChaos · 02/08/2013 22:12

I want Luna for dd (due Nov) but dh has vetoed it ("like the moon and stuff?! No way"). Hmph.
