Is it a 'stripper' name?

I really like the name Luna for a girl, but my boyfriend's friend said it sounded like a stripper's name!
Does it? What do you think?

Not particularly, but it does remind me of Luna Lovegood out of Harry Potter.

PalePinkSwan · 30/08/2018 17:45

No, not at all.

Reminds me of Harry Potter but that’s not a bad thing.

spugzbunny · 30/08/2018 17:47

I think it's a lovely name for a dog ... sorry Blush

MaryBoBary · 30/08/2018 17:48

I thought you were going to say Chrystal. In my opinion Luna is a lovely name and doesn’t make me think of a stripper in the slightest.

Kripton · 30/08/2018 17:53

Nope. I think Luna is becoming quite popular.

Number one association is Harry Potter for me.

SuburbanRhonda · 30/08/2018 17:54

Very popular name for a pet.

HopeGarden · 30/08/2018 17:54

My first thought would be Harry Potter.

DarlingNikita · 30/08/2018 17:55

No, it's nice but I think I quite like stripper names anyway

OutPinked · 30/08/2018 17:57

It’s a very popular name atm, definitely doesn’t make me think of a stripper.

butlerswharf · 30/08/2018 17:58

It's a Harry Potter name mainly

gunnergirl · 30/08/2018 17:58

quite popular with footballers Frank lampard has a dd and I think might be Steve gerrard also (could be wrong on that one)

Flamingosnbears · 30/08/2018 17:59

They used to say that about flower names and look how they have taken off?!... You may like selene or Celeste

Jasperoonicle · 30/08/2018 17:59

Diertmarr Hamann also has a Luna!

BertrandRussell · 30/08/2018 18:00

Harry Potter. Loony. “Look at me, I’m proper alternative, me”

But not stripper.

Greeneyedgeek83 · 30/08/2018 18:28

No but I always want to put TIC on the end of it lol

booniloo · 30/08/2018 18:29

Great name for a cat or dog.

SingingSands · 30/08/2018 18:29

It's a dog name, nearly every dog round here is called Luna.

CountFosco · 30/08/2018 18:32

Luna Lovegood but that's an excellent association. Not a stripper name not that I know any.

sirmione16 · 30/08/2018 18:32

So many dogs called Luna.

MalloryLaurel · 30/08/2018 18:33

Lexi is a stripper name.
Luna is from Harry Potter.

MarthaArthur · 30/08/2018 18:35

I know 3 Luna's. Neither are dogs or strippers. MN is just dead shitty when it comes to putting down perfectly lovely inoffensive names probably because their own kids have shit names. Its spanish for moon.

seven201 · 30/08/2018 18:40

There are a lot of baby and toddler Luna's around where I live. I like it and don't think of strippers. I do think of Harry Potter.

MeyMary · 30/08/2018 18:49

No, it isn't :)

Lynne1Cat · 30/08/2018 18:49

There's a lovely little girl, 2 doors from me, named Luna....but she's a cat

EthelThePiratesDaughter · 30/08/2018 19:10

It's a bit Harry Potter but it's a nice name and becoming more popular (but not overly so). I definitely wouldn't say it was a stripper name.
