Your thoughts on the name Luna?

[KaitlynF89]

Our baby girl is due on the 4/11. We have decided on Luna for our baby girl, I looked at the meaning of this name and I love it. Any other name beginning with L would be appreciated.

I quite like it, although the two I know are pets...!

Lilah
Lea
Lydia
Laura
Lucy

I considered it but DH vetoed as it was ‘too Harry Potter’ 🤷‍♀️🤣

I really like it and know several. It's pretty and works in lots of languages (a couple of the Lunas I know have parents with different first languages). However you will now get several hundred posters telling you it is a dog's name.

I only know dogs called Luna.

It’s a lovely name, but has been widely used for huskies and German Shepherds over the past few years. I know of loads.

It's my dog's name

I know one and she’s gorgeous. I’d consider it but I’ve heard it’s quite popular with babies now.

Others are:

Lyra
Lina
Leda
Liana

I think it’s lovely but also have strong doggy associations with it too.

Lena
Loreena
Laurel
Lauren
Lara
Laura
Lyla
Layla
Lisa
Lucia
Lucy
Lisa
Louisa

It’s one of the most common dog names. The other is Bella.

I actually love the name. But the dog thing ruins it.

Lucy
Laura
Lauren

My cat was called Luna. How about Lyra?

It's lovely. It's also the name of every office puppy on LinkedIn!

There’s a couple of little Lunas at dc’s school. I think it’s a really pretty name.

If you call "Luna" in a park, you'll be overrun with cockerpoos and dachshunds.

It's a name people like, but give to their pets rather than their DDs because od the silent -tic

Others to consider:
Lula, Lila, Lyra, Lacey, Linda, Lynne, Linette, Lara, Laura, Lorna

And also if you love the meaning and would compromise on the letter: Selna, Artemis, Diana, Nokomis

I don’t like it - it’s very associated with Harry Potter to me and I’m just not keen on the sound of it. I don’t think it’s awful though. I do know one preschooler Luna and it’s fine, she wears it well.

Love it.
If I ever have twin girls I'm calling them lola and Luna and everyone can say "they're pet names" as much as they like.
I knew a dog called Vince once, it's not like they're getting named deefa and rover.

I really love it. I'm a bit biased though as I am a huge Harry Potter fan.

It is a pretty name but I wouldn’t be sure about using it because of the scope for teasing with the historical association to lunacy, werewolves, monthly cycles. ‘Loony Luna’ in Harry Potter. JK Rowling used it for a reason!

My friend is called Louise and it gets shortened to Lou so that will probably happen if you decide to christen your baby Luna.

I really like the name Lara (reminds me of the Lara from Dr Zhivago).

It's screams HP fan

My niece is Luna and my SIL says the joke about calling her name in the park is true. Several dogs come running. I know 4 canine Lunas, two cats and a budgie! It is a very popular pet name.

It's a dog's name.

As long as your surname is not Tick.

I love Lula & Lila, pretty names, I have a niece named Lila.
