What do u think of the name of Luna? I personally love it. But tend to think if the baby goes for a job interview.
Also any middle names to Match?

I think lunatic when I hear it, how about selene?

I love it but it's getting really popular now which put me off using it 😞

VioletteValentia · 15/03/2018 17:03

I love it.

ProjectMoose · 15/03/2018 17:04

Just makes me think of the word lunatic. Lovely name but that association puts me off!

As others have said, I just want to add tic onto the end when I say it

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/03/2018 17:10

The Luna "Tic" association did used to bother me. However it wouldn't now as it's commonly used. Therefore I don't think anyone would bat an eye lid.

massistar · 15/03/2018 17:11

My DH's cousin called her baby Anna Luna which I think is gorgeous.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/03/2018 17:13

Luna Marie
Luna Frances
Luna Evelyn
Luna Ray

DumbledoresArmy · 15/03/2018 17:14

I love the name Luna.

BossWitch · 15/03/2018 17:16

I like It, would think Harry potter though

strawberrypenguin · 15/03/2018 17:17

I like it! I think I'd go with something fairly classic as a middle name so along the lines of

Charlotte
Elizabeth
Eleanor
Beatrice
Catherine

VioletteValentia · 15/03/2018 17:19

Luna Ray sounds like a Marvel weapon.

BossWitch · 15/03/2018 17:22

Luna in pj masks (a villain) does use a luna ray weapon...

AnyaMoondial · 15/03/2018 19:20

Love it.

ChocolateCrunch · 15/03/2018 19:35

Not keen, sorry

LastNightsMakeUp · 15/03/2018 19:45

I think it’s a bit ‘footballers wife’

Threeandabit · 15/03/2018 19:51

I like it but because I know a lot of people think "lunatic", I wouldn't want to use it.

I like Stella, which means "Star"
Celeste, which means "Heavenly"
Juno "Queen of Heaven"
Coral(ie)
and Mehreen - Which means Beautiful / Moon.

I think it sounds like a lovely name for a puppy. Sorry.

Catrina1234 · 15/03/2018 22:18

I love it and it's unusual without being outlandish. I'm so tired of all the Lilies, Graces, Chloes etc. The middle name is tricky - Anna Luna is lovely as someone said and then you could call her Luna. I'm one of 4 girls and we all got called by our second names - don't why why. Luna Rebecca maybe?

Zaya71 · 16/03/2018 01:28

I love it but it's getting rather popular, I know three that have been born in the past year or so. This puts me off it now as part of its appeal was that it is quirky and a bit different.

Cosmoa · 16/03/2018 09:16

I adore this name and I wouldn't worry about the job application thing.. It's a popular name now and there are lots software 'unusual' names these days.

Luna comes from the Latin word for Moon... And I copied and pasted the following from google (as is is phrased better than I can say) and I still love the name regardless.

The term "lunatic" derives from the Latin word lunaticus, which originally referred mainly to epilepsy and madness, as diseases thought to be caused by the moon.
