Luna

[Roo79]

I've just stumbled across the name Luna, and I think I'm totes in love with it.

What are people's opinion on it? It's not a name you hear very often!

It's becoming quite popular now (my mum works in a primary school so keeps me up to date with the trending names) it's quite common for dogs too, I'm a professional dog groomer and have a few Luna's on my books, not a horrible name though but I do associate it with lunatic as others have mentioned

Love it. Doesn't work with our surname. Our kid would essentially be 'Moon Moon'

Wish I hadn't called the cat Luna as I'd def have considered it for our baby girl.

I know a couple of baby Lunas so I think it's getting more popular, but not massively so. It is pretty but I do have to stop myself from adding -tic on the end.

The kids called our girl cat Luna. I like it. We considered it for dd but vetoed owing to Harry Potter association. I think it stands alone as a good name though, all of that asides.

I think of it as a bit of a footballer/WAG name.

It sounds quite pretty if you ignore the lunatic/moon connotations.

I instantly think Harry Potter, but as I'm considering Ronnie for a boy I don't think that's a bad thing

It's a bit 'out there' for my tastes but I think it's a lovely name for someone else's kid!

Gorgeous name but I can't get past the Lunatic part, sorry

OP its lovely. Sick of these boring comments about dogs name, guinea pigs names, know a horse called this or that....such completely pointless comments!! If we all listed every single pets name we have heard of most names would fall under one of them, it really doesn't matter.

Loony, Lunatic... Just no.

My brain always, always fills in '...-tic' when I hear Luna.

So, no. Not a fan.

Lughnasa was a pagan festival, yes. Celebrating the god Lugh iirc. August is Lunasa in Irish too. :)

I think Luna is a very pretty name but unfortunately I do think of lunatic when I hear it!

I love it, but then my 4 year old is a big fan of Earth to Luna. La la lalala Luna! Loooo-naaah!

If you call a child Luna it is inevitable that she will be called lunatic at school. Might you be better with Louisa?

I also think of it as a footballer/Wag name.

Really dislike it for a child.....only because it reminds me of lunatic, also our cat is called Luna.
I used to teach in a nursery and It got really common. We had 4 luna's at one point.... but its totally upto you!
