Moon for a girl?

[greengardens]

Thoughts?

some great nicknames

Moo
moonie
moo moo

I quite like Selene (Ancient Greek moon goddess)

Id worry if you called a girl Moon, it would lead to rude jokes about her moon (bum) and asking “give us a moon, Moon” and so on.

Just no

If you want an unusual name in your family then I suggest changing your own…

I think it could potentially work as a middle name but not as a first name, personally

Ooh I like that.

No

Selene or Luna, yes.
Moon, no.
Signed, your unborn daughter

Please don't. If she has a long thin face people will think of a crescent moon and she'll be moon face at school.
If she has a round face she'll also be moon face.
Why do people do this to kids? Don't saddle a poor kid with a daft name to meet your need to be different.

Luna
Selene/a
Callista
Elara
Portia
Creasida
Pandora

All names of actual moons, or associated with moons. But not Moon😅

Makes me think of a bare bottom OP. Sorry!

Obviously that was meant to say Cressida, but my phone had other plans!

Awful.

Luna is lovely, why not something like that?

No. Moon means showing your bum "we mooned the lorry driver from the school bus."

I like the idea of space themed names though. How about Astra, Luna or Seren? (Welsh for star).

It's a NO from me.

Oh wow there’s a really strong dislike for the name based on the comments! I agree with a lot of the comments on here, I didn’t realise it was that bad. We want a moon-related name but I guess it will have to be something more well-known like Celine / Luna etc. To me the name moon is associated to the beautiful moon, but it’s too risky to go for it & too out there I guess as a name for a child!

I had no idea it was related to bare bottoms! I’m horrified & thanks for pointing this out! Moon is definitely off the list! 😖

Thank you for all the moon-related suggestions in some of the comments, I have added these to my list to consider.

Not Moon reasons above or Luna - short for Lunatic.

Celine is nice though.

I just think of moon cups.

This idea of naming her after other moons is good, adding on
Amalthea
Io
Miranda
Kari
Phoebe
Cressida
Ophelia
Titiania

@WhackingPhoenix

Pandora is very pretty and nicely upmarket and could be nn as Dora! Haven't heard it used for a while but I like it

Not Titania especially if she becomes a bit chubby Titania / Titanic but you also have Tit in there really not good.

Diana (moon goddess)
Phoebe and Ophelia are both beautiful names.

Except just thought Ophelia could be said “can I have Ophelia arse?” Lol

Still pretty written down though

All good points. Have to consider the worst.
