38 weeks pregnant today with DD2. DD1 is Polly. She's that because we were listening to Nirvanas Nevermind and that was that, she was always going to be Polly.

DD2 we have tried to find a name from music we love so that she too has a song. Luna is the last track on Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins. Apart from the musical connection I do really like it. But, I was in a soft play a few months ago and since then have preferred Juno.

Both Luna and Juno fit my criteria of being unusual without being too weird. Imo anyway! I'm not hugely bothered that people will think of Luna Lovegod or the film Juno.

I'm just not sure whether I go with Luna because it fits better or go with Juno on the simple basis of liking it more!

DH happy with both though tends towards Luna. And in helpfully says it's my decision!

Thoughts?

Luna I fab

Juno sounds pretentious and too much like the frumpy June for my liking.

i think Juno sounds like a boys name for some reason but I like Luna.

Names ending in o usually are boys names.

Hi bean I love Juno and am lobbying my dp for it. There's a very famous (and brilliant) Irish play called 'Juno and the Paycock'. Her character is one of my hero's- if my lo is half as strong as her I'd be happy Smile

Love Juno, if I ever have another dd Juno will be her name, I nearly used it for my four month old dd but fell in love with another name.
