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.

The think Theo and Felix work best.

I love the name Teddy but combined with Moon it is a bit to "nursery rhyme" like

And Rupert Moon has too many "oooh" as sounds

It is a lovely surname though Smile

(From someone who took her husband's surname because she loved it, we are divorced now but I still kept it Grin)

I'd do something plain and ordinary with surname Moon, such as James Moon or Edward Moon. I think it's much sweeter. Same if it's a girl - Jane Moon, Emma Moon.

Garnet Charles Moon - I knew of a person with this exact name
who had a sister, Fairy Moon. Their father was a cave and precious stones explorer. Fairy was married in the cave she was named after. (Her Dad discovered and named the Fairy Cave.)

Matilda Faerie Moon
