Does Luna still sound fresh?

Or has it had its day? Debating with DP.

Makes me think of a crazy person, or a dog

Makes me think of cockapoos.

Also, lunatic/loony etc.

If you like it for it's moon connotations, how about stars instead, Stella/Estelle/Estella maybe?

Quirky a few years ago but then became super popular and therefore lost its charm. Feel the same about Willow.

No, it still sounds and always will sound, ridiculous. Looney, loopy Luna.

It’s had its day.

And that’s without so many similar names being about - Lara, Lola, Lyra, Lena, Leila, blah blah

I would agree popular for pets. Not what I would chose for a baby, Luna-tic would put me off tbh.

I LOVE this name!!! My DP doesn't!!!! Urgh!

We are expecting twins (gender unknown at the mo) but would've loved this....don't think I'll get away with it unfortunately xx

Pets and footballers' kids.

I’ve met a Luna-lovely shy little dot of a girl

And about 6 dogs

My daughter wants her firstborn daughter to be a Luna-I’ll just be grateful if she doesn’t call the poor sod megaslayer or something like that

I wouldn’t put that one past her

Sounds like you're naming a unicorn or a brand of sanitary towel.

It's a dog name currently

Wow, thanks everyone. Looks like it's a bit or a marmite name! The dog/cat reference doesn't really bother me, I'm just worried it will be a Lisa type name in a few years.
I've had some inspiration from this board - we're currently discussing Una instead!

I really like it in itself, but I concur with others about the pets / footballers kids association being off putting. If those aren’t associations for you and you really love it it’s fine. Una is gorgeous, prefer that, particularly the Oona spelling.

Una is much more fresh than Luna. Luna has defo had its day. I like Una.
