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??

A friend of mine has twin girls and she named one Sno (no W) and the other Luna. Honestly it would be a cool middle name, but not a first name.

My SIL is Selena.

Lydia?

I have a customer called Leila. I always wanted to sing "Her name was Leila, she was a showgirl". Yes I know it wasn't Leila in the song, but its what it reminded me of!

Harry Potter.

(my loony (!) step sister named her daughter Luna 15 years ago)

How about Diana, Selene/Selina, (E)Stella, Astrid?

i just think of luna lovegood and those damn narkles

Hmm, v v Potter. Lula rather fab though.

Pregnancy hormones are the root of many a left field name choice me thinks.

my DD is Lula

Haven't read all sorry but Luna makes me think 'mental = moon' , so would not want to curse a child with my nuttiness. BUT, i do actually like it, in a random kind of way!!!

I would think of it as pretty, but isn't there a pushchair called Luna? The Mamas and Papas Luna. It would make me think of that.
What about Lulu or something similar?

Forget Luna (Looney Luna Lovegood) ad go with Lyra. It's a fab name.

Actually I do like Luna too.

I don't like it.

Am currently loving 'Charlie and Lola' on CBeebies and in the Lauren Chile books, so I would go for

Lola or Lauren. Also like Laura and quite like Lydia.

Lara is quite a good name too.

Loveday.

Not Lara, Lyra
Loveday isn't even a first name, is it?

Loveday is. Loveday Minette in The Little White Horse

lyra - you ARE a little biased though, n'est-ce-pas?

Biased? Moi?

Lyra is gorgeous.
The M&P buggy is 'Loona'.
Vanloadtovenice - to me, your choice of Lula is rather left field - it's all relative isn't it.

Bottom - the buggy is actually 'Loola'.....

I wouldn't worry too much about the brand names thing - there are millions of them out there, and lots of them a perfectly reasonable names- even the actual company owners name- shock horror!
