Is Luna becoming too popular now?

Just seen that it's the fastest rising name in the US and is the 37th most popular name there! Do you think it will do the same here? Will it be like Isla/Evie/Ella?

Yes, definitely. No one should ever name their child Luna again and everyone called Luna should change their name by deed poll immediately.

It's a very popular name for dogs round my way. I know three.

I love it for dogs not so much for humans.

I think it's a name of its time, and will date. I also think it's a somewhat ridiculous name for a human. Why not use the Greek goddess of the moon instead of the Roman one and use Selena/Selene instead, which is a million times classier?

Thanks everyone - food for thought.

Such a big decision! Don't want her to hate her dated name as an adult. My friend thinks it's this era's 'Dawn' - which is hideous!
Maybe I should go back to the drawing board Confused

I don't know. But I'm honestly not too fond of it.

Lyra, Luana, Lilia and Lydia are nicer imo.

I know 3 baby Lunas and have come across eat least 4 more through baby classes over an 18month period.

I really dislike it. I just hear 'loony' every time.
