Is it too posh?

[BabyLadyGirl]

We have chosen the name Luna for our baby girl, but some friends said it sounds too posh?!?

Yep, hippy not posh.

Lovely. Quite Harry Potter in my mind, but I'm one of those adults that hasn't yet grown out of it.

Not posh bit hippy-ish/hipster vibe.

I don't think it's posh. Not very keen on it I have to say. It's a little bit way out. Probably one of those names where there will be a fad and then never heard of again. I've never heard of a Luna. Princess Luna. Doctor Luna. Maybe in a science fiction book I suppose.

Almost the opposite in fact. Pseudo hippy name. Not my favourite.

Not posh and lacks the r at the end to be a hippy name. Just sounds a bit tacky and try-hard to me.

Not posh. Hippy or a bit mental. Was used in Harry Potter to allude to someone being off beat as a bit of a Loon.

Not at all posh in my book.

Are you Harry Potter fans? That's the first thought that came to my head - Luna from Harry Potter! Although I can't talk as I picked Lily because I love Harry Potter

It'll be Harry Potter, rather than loony, as no one uses that word anymore.

And possibly lunar eclipse, after that dreadful advert that won't die.

Not posh, no. Hippie maybe? Anything earthy or celestial is a bit hippy.

I love it. Not posh at all. OH vetoed it though as he thinks it sounds like lunatic.

See I thought of it as more hippy or hipster than posh.
Think we're going to go for it, although looked at the baby name lists and it was one of the biggest climbers last year!

loony, as no one uses that word anymore.

Really? Are you the authority on words? Loon, looney bin, lunatic, all in common use.

It's all the Harry Potter fans

(Who have made the name climb!)

I think it used to be considered a fairly hippy type name but through popular use it has morphed into quite run of the mill. It's similar in feel to names like Eden or Summer. Climbing the charts.

Not posh at all.

Luna's not posh in the slightest. Quite the opposite, in fact.

It's the opposite of posh.

Not posh at all. It does remind me of my dds buggy (Luna mix from mamas and papas) though. If you like it go for it who cares what anyone else thinks XP

It really needs the r on the end

Do you think it will become much more popular?

Why do you care if it's 'posh'? It isn't, anyway.

Because I don't really want a posh name. Don't want people thinking I'm trying to be something I'm not.

Spell it Plyeunagh, I reckon .

Seriously though, if you like it it doesn't matter what anyone thinks. Luna is nice name, although I'd assume you are a HP fan.
