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!!

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

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

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?

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

Hi,

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

Lara

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

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.

thick skin I mean...

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?

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
