Phoebe

Phoebe.

Luna is a repulsive name.

Phoebe.

Luna became very popular in a very short space of time so will seem more dated 20 years from now. Plus the whole 'lunatic' thing. It's just not that nice.

Phoebe.

My dog is called Luna as she is a looney lunatic. Great for a dog but not a person!

SoShallINever · 28/05/2023 22:57

Lunatic is disablist.
Just saying.

Luna is nice.
Phoebe is boring and reminds me of 'freebie'.

toomanyleggings · 28/05/2023 23:06

Phoebe is my favourite girls name ever. If it was socially acceptable I’d have called both my daughter’s Phoebe

Prairie21 · 28/05/2023 23:40

Yes sorry I know 3 dogs called Luna and it does sound a bit made up as a name for a person

Alloveragain3 · 29/05/2023 00:06

I think Luna is pretty.
Luana is also nice but less common.

Phoebe sounds quite posh to me and will forever be a Friends character. It is a pretty name though.

RuthW · 29/05/2023 06:38

Both lovely but ai say Phoebe as dd was nearly one.

peacelemon · 29/05/2023 06:52

Luna is already dating. It's a dogs name also.

supersonicspeed · 29/05/2023 06:55

Phoebe!

Picklewicklepickle · 29/05/2023 07:01

Yeah Luna is a dog’s name sorry.

Also ,I always associate it with a thread on here started by an op describing how she named her daughter Luna because it was Italian for sun and it was such a lovely meaning and it makes me giggle.

Phoebe.

Chilli81 · 29/05/2023 08:10

Whether you like Luna or not it's not a made up name. It's pretty common around the world and means moon which I personally think is lovely.

Lemieux3 · 29/05/2023 08:11

Phoebe

Cressie2 · 02/06/2023 20:52

Neither. Both overdone.

SemperIdem · 03/06/2023 22:06

I think both are nice, but quite different in style. Luna is obviously a nature name, with a bit of an alternative vibe. Phoebe is more classic.
