What do you think of the name Luna?

[PutThatInYourPipeandSmokeIt]

We are sort of stuck on it for a girl but I am not 100% sure though I do keep coming back to it and swing from loving it to thinking it may sound a bit astrological.

We need a soft name to go with a rather harsh surname full of C's. Also - can anyone suggest a middle name that might go with it??

DD has my middle name and if we have a boy, he will have DH's, so if it is a girl, what do we do??

Middle name - Tic?

Lunatic

That's it's goofy and reminds me of Harry Potter.

It's not a name I'd take seriously, tbh.

I love the name Lyra more but DH says it sounds like Liar and he can't do it

actually it made me think of Nova, which I like - knew a girl called that

like it, but agree it might attract some puerile teasing

Jim could be her middle name

Oh littlelapin you beat me to it!

Must admit it's the only time i've heard the name Luna.

People may think you are Harry Potter fans, which would be fine by me

lovely name IMHO

ah this must be my pregancy brain - I am an avid Harry Potter fan BUT can't think of the Luna you mention for the life of me . Who is she?? We actually spotted it on a sign driving past a barbers shop (I'm not making it sound any better am I?!?!).

DD1 has a girl in her class called Luna, but we're in Spain. It means moon and here I would say it is a slightly hippy name. At first it made me think of lunatic but now it just makes me think of her. It's nice.
There are so many foreign or new or strange names these days that I think it hardly matters any more what you call your child.

It makes me think of the derogatory term people use to refer to mentally unstable people

Luna = moon in French

Lunatic = Full moon = 'mad' behaviour (as believed by folk years ago)

Agree with others I always think of Lunatic.

i think frank lampard has a daughter called luna?

oh yes! The one with the peculiar dress sense who was all wierd and floaty?! But she was such a lovely person

'I love the name Lyra more but DH says it sounds like Liar and he can't do it'

Yet he finds Luna an improvement?

It's naff.

It's actually 'lune' in French. La lune.
