What do you think of Luna Mia? Translates to 'my moon' (I think!)

Personally no to Luna. Mia is fine but together it's quite pretentious, trying too hard to sound like Italian but failing to be genuine Italian. Even if you are half/quarter etc Italian, it still doesn't sound well together.
Unless you have roots in another nationality, it's never pretty to name your child in another language.

Not together.

Luna and Mia are pretty generic names these days, nothing unusual about them. Together it's just a bit clunky.

I get the astral connection but I really personally can’t bear “Luna” as a name.

For me it just brings up “lunatic” and images of Victorian Bedlam etc.

For something a bit “out there” perhaps Lorelai?

Sounds a bit like Lumineer so reminds me of the band sorry

Sorry, Luna is too close to lunatic. Actually, much much too close.

How about Lyra, Linnea, Linnet?

Maybe not Luna Mia - as well as everything people have said on here, I don't know, 'my moon' just reminds me of pulling a moonie! Like, 'my bum'.

Luna Marie is nice.

WinnieThePooh6 · 30/04/2018 22:26

I like both but not together. The two 'a' endings don't flow well.

It definitely sounds like a handheld device. Either a sex toy or a breast pump or something....

The translation is so obviously deliberate that it comes across as really tacky, although individually both are very nice names. So no I don't think it works.

Lunamia sounds like a brand of menstrual cup, sorry.

Or hair removal as per Philips Lumea.

Also lune de miel is French for honeymoon.
