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 know 3 dogs called Luna. So I think of it as a dog's name.

I know an adult Luna but no pets or children with that name. I like it, and it works in lots of languages.

It's cute

I mean she might end up being called Lunatic, or Luna Balloona, or Looney.

I know too many dogs called Luna but it is pretty and shouldn't date too badly.

What about Lilia? Luna sounds like a pets name

I really liked it when I was a teenager. But it's got so popular in the last few years that it feels overdone and overexposed now. I can see it being a dated kind of name in the future.

Luna at DS's school is known as Loony Luna. Personally I'd steer clear of names that invite ridicule.

I think it's a pretty name. I also know a lovely Bella. Don't think of dogs at all but I can't really remember my friends dogs names anyway.

We adopted a rabbit called Luna. So what? It’s a lovely name for a person or a baby girl. Kids have all kinds of names now. Pets seem to have (previously) human names and kids have (previously) pet’s or object’s names.

I don't like it, but more relevant is, if you have decided, then why are you asking ?

Pretty! It's my dog's name.

It's a nice name but the top dog name at the moment

Laura
Lara
Leah
Lilith
Linnea
Linnet
Lark
Lucy
Lydia
Larissa
Lamorna
Loveday
Lois
Lalage

Looney Luna

No

also too many Lena/Lyra/Lara names - they all blur

Oona?

Sorry, I'm in the 'pets camp' too. Cats.

How about:

Leona
Leora

I just think Loony. It's really not good to use for an actual person because of that.

It used to be unusual when my teenager was little, popular with alternative type parents. Now it has risen exponentially in popularity and is number 35 in the name charts. So don't listen to people who say it sounds like a dog name. They said the same about other in fashion names that rose quickly initially like Oscar, Arlo and Ivy. However, it will certainly be a name that dates her when she is older, and you will come across many others, if that bothers you.

I love Luna and am a huge Harry Potter fan. Its one of my top two, swaying towards a slightly less popular name, but I'd quite like to use it as a middle name.

Dreadful. Sounds like lunatic.

The sort of name that pops up in OK magazine.

Sorry, I just think of lunatic.

I like it but I agree that every other girl dog you come across is called Luna so that kind of ruins it.

I love it. Don't care about the pet thing at all. Makes me think of the beauty of the moon.

I would like it but of course she will be teased. Loony lunatic. Sad but true.

Also the world doesn’t need any more Luna, Lula, Lila, Ayla, Isla, Lily, Lilia, Layla or Lola’s.

Lyra is pretty but the only one I know was being called ‘Liar liar pants on fire’ by reception age.
