Luna or Lara

[nov13girl]

Can't decide between these two names.

Luna I worry will become very popular, trendy and date. Bit like Isla.

Lara I worry is too sensible, but it does feel more classic.

Thoughts please!!

[MikeUniformMike]

Lara.

[DarlingLittleBabyName]

ohhh this is so difficult because I love love love both names...maybe wait until she is born and see if she suits one name more than the other? x

[jiggsymalone]

Where I am from Luna is a dog's name as it's basically calling your child 'moon'.

I like Lara but I like Lana even better and it's a cross between both Lara and Luna which might work for you?

[IchibanLipstickForMen]

thick skin I mean...

[IchibanLipstickForMen]

The word Lunatic comes from the belief that changes in the moon would cause moments or periods of insanity, for those interested!

That being said... I still wouldn't care if someone called me Loony or Lunatic if my name were Luna. No biggy. Just gotta teach kids to have think skin.

Didn’t realise this was a zombie thread, sorry!!

Lara

Hi,

What name did you pick in the end.
I’m also in between these 2 names!

[kiwik]

I really like Luna, but wouldn't use it for fear of the LunaTIC issues in the playground.
Lara is pretty and classic.

[manicinsomniac]

I love Lara. Also agree that Lana is pretty. I don't like Luna.

Lena, Lila, Lyla, Lyra, Lia, Lola and Laura could be options too?

[twentyfourcarat]

I love Luna, like Lara and as a half way house Lana is pretty cool!

[Rtfairy]

Luna is beautiful x

[runninggirl85]

I love Lara and Luna. I think i prefer Luna but not sure now everyone has said about Lunatic.

Lana is currently my favourite name if i have a girl x

[peachmint]

Lara. Not Luna.

[NomDeClavier]

Lorna is pretty and underused.

Of your 2 I would veto Luna, pretty as it is, and choose Lara.

[PunkyPod]

Lola or Lyra or Lorna as alternatives? I like Luna

[pygmy]

Lara is a classic.

Luna is a celebrity 'fashion' name.

[RoadToTuapeka]

Lunatic popped straight into my head.

Lara is lovely, as is Lana or Lyra.

[elcranko]

I really like them both, maybe Lara just slightly more.

[Floggingmolly]

There is not the remotest chance that Luna will become too popular with good reason

[MrsOakenshield]

Isla is nicer than either Lara or Luna! Beautiful name.

[LadyBigtoes]

I think Luna is a beautiful name and meaning BUT surely you (and everyone else) would end up calling her Looney?

Lara is a bit boring though.

What about Lyra?

[CornishFirstTimer22]

Lara - classic and lovely.(VERY biased )

Or as a nn for Larissa (like in Dr Zhivago).

[MortifiedAdams]

Lara. I have it on my list. I also like Lydia.
