Or has it had its day? Debating with DP.

Not really, loads of people call their pets Luna. i seem to hear about a new one everyday.

EduCated · 07/01/2022 00:21

I currently know three baby/toddler Lunas, a cat, and a dog! It seems very popular.

DartmoorChef · 07/01/2022 00:22

No it still makes me think of a moon or a loony.

nordica · 07/01/2022 00:22

Definitely a pet's name, I used to volunteer for a cat charity and it ranked in the top 5 most popular cat names for sure...

MajorCarolDanvers · 07/01/2022 00:24

It sounds like a Harry Potter fan.

TitoMojito · 07/01/2022 00:25

I know at least three cats called Luna and two dogs.

DipYourPenisInMyBeaker · 07/01/2022 00:26

I just think of Luna Lovegood (or something) from Harry Potter. However, if you like the name fresh or not, you go with that. The only thing that would put me off is if it was too popular.

Congratulations btw.

I'm just reading a fairly new book with a character called Luna. I like it!

Lockdownbear · 07/01/2022 01:30

Pet name not for a child.

Skinnymimi · 07/01/2022 01:35

Best name ever!

JourneyToThePlacentaOfTheEarth · 07/01/2022 01:36

I know so many dogs called luna!

whatausername · 07/01/2022 03:42

Stale.

vastgrandupgrade · 07/01/2022 03:46

I know a dog and a cat. It’s definitely peak pet atm!

LuckyMeISeeGhosts · 07/01/2022 03:48

It's a dog or cat name to me.

Undertheoldlindentree · 07/01/2022 05:06

I know a small girl and three dogs with this name. I think it will date quite badly.

BingIsAMassiveTwat · 07/01/2022 05:08

I know 3 pre schoolers and a baby, plus 2 dogs. It's very popular but I just don't like it!

CherryMaple · 07/01/2022 05:16

I know a dog and a cat called Luna. I don’t know any humans called Luna.

Needaholiday101 · 07/01/2022 05:55

I know 4 dogs with this name. Definitely more of a pet name.

bcc89 · 07/01/2022 06:08

I worked at a vet. It's a pet name... excessively!!

Kanaloa · 07/01/2022 06:14

Hard for me to say because I’ve never really been keen on it. I only know two child Lunas though. Which sounds a lot but as I work with children I’ve heard lots of names.

It does call Harry Potter to mind for me. Not necessarily a bad association just my only association. And the word loony.

334bu · 07/01/2022 06:18

We had a cat called Luna.

TequilaBlaze · 07/01/2022 06:22

No. It's very 2005.

becca3210 · 07/01/2022 06:26

I actually like it!

KiloWhat · 07/01/2022 06:36

No but if you love it don't let that stop you.

thewhatsit · 07/01/2022 06:45

I’ve only known, and a very tenuous link at that, one child called Luna and she’d probably be about 13 by now.

Apparently it’s popularity is increasing year on year still so you definitely couldn’t say it sounded very 10 years a go etc.
