Surname of Moon - Please vote!

[LookingAtMyBhunas]

My DP and I are expecting our first, surname will be his of Moon, which I absolutely love (didn't take my ex H surname for what I claimed were feminist reasons at the time but it was made easier cos his surname was complete shite)

Anyway as much as I love the surname I'm finding it can tend to make an otherwise 'normal' name come across more hippy dippy, not necessarily a bad thing but wanted to run by the mumsnet clan our shortlist:

Theodore 'Teddy' Moon
Rupert Moon
Jasper Moon
Felix Moon

For a girl the only one we really like and agree on is Matilda Moon.

Teddy

They’re all nice OP 😊

Honestly I quite like all of them, although I do associate Jasper with black labs! Usually I hate 90% of the ideas in baby name threads!

I voted Felix. I think you have to be careful it doesn't sound like a cartoon character which I think Teddy Moon does. Rupert might get shortend to Roo Moon

I'ld assume you are very posh from that list!

Felix

Rupert Moon is a welsh rugby player.

Is he!!? How funny!

Have a Google!

All but Rupert!

I prefer Jasper Moon

Yeah I'm definitely leaning that way too.

Just did and sent his photo to DP who commented he looks unnervingly like his dad 😂

Rupert Moon is to ‘oo’-heavy. (Sorry, rugby-playing Rupert Moon.) Theodore is much the best of your list. I would avoid anything that sounds like a descriptor of Moon — jasper being a gemstone makes Jasper Moon sound a little like a hippy crystals shop.

I did think this.
It's in Glastonbury and run by a woman who has a side hustle on Etsy of selling windchimes.

Jasper Moon - the names sound better together. Congratulations OP 🎊

yep - I went to school with him.

Is he a one of that minor aristocratic family the 'Complete-Shites of Jaywick'?

Teddy Moon is so cute! And Theodore Moon is an awesome name. Or Theo Moon? Ted Moon? All amazing

Congratulations! I'm liking 'Teddy', because Theo Moon sounds wonderful!

Yes! Exactly! She was born Brenda Jones but now goes by Onyx Windhover and dabbles in shamanism.😀

Great list. Felix is one of my favourite names - but I voted Teddy because Teddy Moon/Theo Moon/Ted Moon all sound really good.

A couple of decades ago that might have been the case but these names are very widely used now, top 100 names. Not necessarily posh at all.

I like the name but it comes across as a moon made of jasper. I don’t think two nouns work.

Theo Moon is lovely, Teddy Moon sounds a bit Pooh Bear to me.

I can imagine Theo Moon as a grown up in the real world, Teddy not so much.

All nice names but Felix goes better with the surname in my opinion.
