Thoughts on Lumina?

[MistyF]

Lumina is name of Latin origin. I heard it's first used in 1800s and it means 'lights'. I pronounce it LOO-me-na and potential nickname I would use, if needed, is Lumie, but I prefer Lumina.

What do you think?

Lumie is a famous brand of alarm clocks and that’s what my mi d goes to when I hear Lumina too.

Shame as it is a very pretty name otherwise.

My alarm clock is a Lumie, it reminds me of that.

It made me think of Phillips Lumea, sorry OP. I agree it's a really pretty sound though.

Honestly I'd think you'd had a bump to the head. It sounds completely bonkers.

Lucy and Lucia mean light. Lumina doesn’t really sound like a name.

It sounds like a relative of Lumiere from Beauty And The Beast so it’s a no from me.

It doesn't sound like a name, sounds all wrong in the mouth and reminds me of a brand of lightbulb or what someone would call a light show at christmas time.

Yes me too, as soon as I read the thread title I instantly thought of this. Then the nickname I thought of the alarm clock.

Dreadful

Yes, it sounds like a brand of lamp to me too, unfortunately, as it's a very pretty name. Luce, perhaps, which also means light?

Sounds like a company/brand name.... a quick search finds a few.

And also very like alumina.

Sounds like a lighting company, sorry 🙈

Sounds like Lumea, Lumie and worst of all would get shortened to Loo.

Yes, reminded me of hair removal.

It’s a brand of camera.

Nope. Not for me.
Lucie is nice if you like the reference to light.

Alarm clock / candlestick from beauty and the beast spring to mind. I agree with others Lucy or Lucia would be better. It’s not particularly pretty or with a nice sound or feel imo.

It sounds like a medicine to me.

Lucia, Lucie/Lucy are much better.

I know a lumina, nn Mina

Hair removal or wake up clock. Possibly a Harry Potter theme.
It's a pretty name though. Children probably won't make the associations.

I'm pretty sure it's the name of some sort of skincare laser thing

Luminal is an anti seizure drug. That was my first thought.

Me to.

I think it would get mispronounced a lot also -

• Lum-min na,
• Loom-mi - na
