Thoughts on this name for a girl?

Dreadful, sorry. Dislike this Luna, Lila, Lola fad and now Luma's being added to the mix.

aliensprig · 02/09/2019 09:30

I think it's pretty OP! What made you choose it? You could also have Luna or Lumen :)

Morado · 02/09/2019 10:15

Looks like a typo for Luna.

whatausername · 02/09/2019 10:28

Sounds like something that would be on a JML stand. But if you like it go for it, it's inoffensive and not ridiculous.

Silly

I came on here thinking this was about laser hair removal.

Agree with it looking like a typo for Luna

cookieandtea · 02/09/2019 12:00

I like it!

TheRedFox · 02/09/2019 14:30

Looks like s typo for Luna but also sounds like a cleaning product or similar. Not for me!

FenellaMaxwell · 02/09/2019 14:31

Typo.

Thisismydilemma · 02/09/2019 14:34

Luma is a common girls name in the middle east. I think it's a pretty name.

Propertyofhood · 02/09/2019 14:36

Nope, as others have said it sounds like a hair removal device and also looks like a typo of Luna.

Whoops75 · 02/09/2019 14:37

No, typo and hair removal

Leakinglikeacolander · 02/09/2019 14:38

Adding to typo/hair removal chorus.

HeronLanyon · 02/09/2019 14:38

I too assumed was typo for Luna.
Luma - I’ve never come across before -is it short for something longer ? I would assume possibly Eastern European ? Or Sicilian or Middle Eastern - blimey can’t place it at all !
Don’t think i like it. However if I knew an adult Luma I wouldn’t think twice about it.

pumkinspicetime · 02/09/2019 15:15

This is a hair removal system. I wouldn't go there OP.

DramaAlpaca · 02/09/2019 16:13

It makes me think of light bulbs.

joystir59 · 02/09/2019 16:23

Umpah Lumpah

joystir59 · 02/09/2019 16:24

Luma means light or sunset, and it is an actual name, but I don't like it personally

Frith2013 · 02/09/2019 20:17

Luma is a credit card.

StarlightCeleste · 03/09/2019 20:45

Too close to Luna so it looks like a typos. How about Lumen or Lumi ?

fuckweasel · 03/09/2019 20:58

Lumen is the central part of a body part like a vein or artery. Also an over fifties dating app and a unit of measurement for light! Luma is preferable.
