Is Luna timeless & classic?

[Laylea]

Just that really!

No. Neither timeless nor classic.

It's a dogs name nowadays.All the female dogs seem to be called Luna near me.

I wouldn’t say so, at all, it’s very faddy imo. That being said, if you like it, use it! It’s certainly not an offensive name.

No

It’s pretty, but trendy rather than classic or timeless, imo.

Not. At. All.

Makes me think of lunatic.

@Laylea well the word itself is very old, Luna was a Roman moon goddess along with Juno and Diana, and it has been used as a girl's first name in some Mediterranean cultures. It's use as a name in English speaking countries is very recent however. I think it would definitely mark her as a baby of her generation. However, it's perfectly pretty and has ancient history and myth associated with it, so I think it's a lot nicer than many other trendy names.

No, not remotely. It was the name the midwives said was the trendy new name when my DD was born, she’s 5.

Almost every other female cat coming to our surgery is called Luna (and the rest are called Nala). It's never occurred to me that it was also a name for humans - I'm just so used to it being a pets' name.

Yes Luna is Latin, the name of the personification of the moon, but it’s not a Latin name that’s been widely used.

I’d never heard of it being used as a name for a real person until some time after the Harry Potter films so I’d say it’s more of a trendy / faddy name than a timeless classic.

Neither timeless nor classic.

I know you didn't ask but here are some lovely moon related names possibly more timeless and classic apart from Meridian and Mizuki which I just really took a shine to. I'll get my dressing gown and go to bed now.

Mizuki (Suki?)
Sylvia
Selena

Celeste
Cordelia
Elara
Larissa
Meridian
Miranda

The OP did garner opinion on the name. It is the whole point of this thread...

Almost never used before about 2005 and then a sudden leap around 2015ish - definitely on trend rather than timeless.

I think it sounds like a pets name

Lots of Lunas about at the moment. But lovely.

No, it’s a dogs name. Sorry OP.

Reminds me of Bear in the big blue house !

No

No

It’s what people call their cats.

For personal reasons l loathe it but also makes me think lunatic

Lunatic. Sorry.
It’s on a par with Lyra. A pretty name but doesn’t work well because it’s too like Liar.

Selina
Elena
Linnea

Sorry, no. Here in the UK it's pretty much the opposite!

Trendy and gimmicky and will date like names like Kylie, Jade, Courtney etc.

Timeless classics imo are names like Charlotte, Alexandra, Eleanor etc.
