I love Luna but it seems quite popular atm (especially amongst dogs! 😂) I just think it has such a sweet vibe. What names do you think are similar? Boy and girl.

I work in schools, and I can’t say I’ve heard of it too often. I have met a Tesla.

grayhairdontcare · 11/06/2023 21:45

My granddaughter is Luna so I'm biased.

WonderDays · 11/06/2023 21:47

I only know three dogs and they are all called Luna so that would put me off.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 11/06/2023 21:48

It's officially the most common female dogs name atm apparently

PoxyAndIKnowIt · 11/06/2023 21:51

I just think Lunatic.

Sorry.

I think it's pretty but I automatically think Lovegood.

Lyra or Lyla?

toastofthetown · 11/06/2023 21:55

Very popular/trendy and I think Luna will end up dating. I like the sound of the name, but wouldn't use it now. The pet association wouldn't put me off though.

Alloveragain3 · 11/06/2023 21:56

It is really common for cats and dogs.

If that doesn't bother you, it's very pretty. Lovely sound and I like the way it means moon. Gives me a mystical vibe!

TheMurderousGoose · 11/06/2023 21:56

-tic

I like Luna.
Don't worry about dogs names. They'll all have carked it and be a distant memory in 15 years.

TomatoSandwiches · 11/06/2023 21:58

I like it, but it seems to be a very popular pet name.

What about Leni, Lara, Leila, Lainie, Libby.

CC4712 · 11/06/2023 22:01

I like Luca, Luke, Lucas, Lena but not Luna for a human.

shakeitoffsis · 11/06/2023 22:18

Luna for a dog Lana for a baby.

Lightbulbspark · 11/06/2023 22:19

Pretty name but makes me think of Lovegoid too. Is it the sound you like or the meaning? If the sound, maybe Lana or Lena/ Helena. If the meaning, maybe Selene (Greek moon goddess).

polon · 11/06/2023 22:26

Love it.

Daisybuttercup12345 · 11/06/2023 23:48

I know 4 Luna dogs 🐕 They get called Lunatic too.

And what's wrong with that? Tesla is a surname, similar to naming your kid Hudson, Madison, Taylor, etc.

Giving your child a surname as a first name is pretty awful and naff too, though! Doubly so if it's also a car.

Nikola Tesla was very cool, though.

NurseEssie · 12/06/2023 00:29

'Doubly so if it's also a car.'

So is a Mercedes
@PoxyAndIKnowIt

PoxyAndIKnowIt · 12/06/2023 00:36

Mercedes was a forename before it was a car, though. And now it has been affected by the association.

It would inevity seem to be alluding to the car if used in the UK.... it has never been commonly used as a name here!

PoxyAndIKnowIt · 12/06/2023 00:36

*inevitably

Lauryn95 · 10/08/2023 17:38

My daughter is called Luna ,she's 7 now so at the time it was a very unique name ,she's the only one in her whole school with that name too but literally both next door neighbours have pets named luna one is a cat and one is a dog Haha 🤣

Berlinlover · 10/08/2023 17:40

I immediately think lunatic.

cuckyplunt · 10/08/2023 17:41

It’s a lovely name, we called our cat Luna

Pretty happy to have lovegood association! She’s a great character
