Luna

[evesnee]

My friend wants some feedback on the name Luna for a girl!

I like this name, but I'd insist that the child was born during a wonderful bright full moon!

I do quite like it, but my friend has a dog called Luna, and it makes me think of that

I like it. Also like Lena if she loses her nerve.

Lunacup is a different brand of the mooncup and lunapads are some sort of reuseable sanitary wear.

I'd avoid

I really like it - I know an adult Indian (Punjabi Sikh) woman called Luna and once met a Spanish woman with the name. Maybe a bit unexpected if you're white British?

not if the surname begins with a 'C'.

Not overly keen. I just think of lunar landings and lunar eclipse. I much prefer Diana/Diane which was the name of the moon goddess and so has similar connoitations without sounding so obviously moon-like.

Hmm... my dog is called Luna! That said, I called her Luna because its a nice name (just not sure how nice for a daughter...)

haha ThisCharmingFlan - sound advice!

Love it!!! But then it is what i named one of my Weimaraners

Beautiful! If they love it, then go for it.

no think of luna jim and wacky girl in harry potter

Ecstaticmum, lol, i've now got the 'luna jim' theme song in my head. 'Luna' is a definite no-no for that reason alone!

I think it is a beautiful name, I'd say go for it!

I have a friend in her thirties called Luna, but she is from Nepal - I gather it's not a particularly unusual name in that part of the world. I think it's lovely, but that's because my friend is.

i think its gorgeous!!

Love it - I'd choose that if I was having a girl (DH would probably have other ideas!).

I like it but would hesitate to use it because of the name-calling potential and the links to Harry Potter.

Awful. Lunatic. Loony Luna.
