Luna

[LynetteScavo]

For a girl.

My friend is seriously considering it.

I said "Oh, that's nice"

But now I'm thinking.

reminds me of the odd character in Harry Potter. personally wouldn't choose it.

I really liked it but dh said it was a dog name, other friends said Looney...

But its quite popular in spain (dh half spanish) & I would definitely have used it had i been allowed

It's a nice meaning but could end up with "lunatic" or "loony" as nicknames! Lana, Lunetta or Lana might be safer bets.

Should have said Lena!

Or how about Laura or Lianna?

nice especially if surname is landings

...tic

My DH is always telling our DDs "stop behaving like a loon", so it probably would have been a good name for one of them.

I can see it's quite a pretty name, but I imediately associate it with "lunatic" so it's a No from me.

Lena, Lara, Laura etc safer.

I like it very much.

No.

It's quite popular in France among the lower classes.

it's alright but does remind me of loony..

what about lula or lola

I like it

I like lots of L names for girls

Leah
Lara
Lyra
Lois
Lana

My Sardinian friend has a Luna and a Mauro.

Frank Lumplard Jnr has a Luna too.

Mamas and Papas pushchair.

Hmm. Does she have a son called Jim?

I have taught a Luna and think it's a lovely name (and a delightful child). I've never heard her be teased for being loony/loopy/whatever.

SE13, that's good to know.

I did wonder if she's made if up...but if it's popular in France...

It does look nice written down, and sound nice, but personally I couldn't use it.

Certainly not made up. Means moon in latin (hence luna-tic= influenced by the moon). I know one she is the loveliest person I have ever met.

Yes it does mean moon and it is very common in Spain as well.

isnt that the name that victoria beckham wanted to give to a daughter if she ever had one?

and i think frank lampards daughter IS called that.

its an ok name tho

I am not keen on Luna. LOVE Lana and would have had it for dd until I realised it was anal backwards...

I know an Aluna - Only one Ive ever heard of... Just a suggestion ;)

I think it is lovely

and I don't think it really sounds like any of the other names suggested.

check that her surname doesn't begin with 'C' before proceeding.

its a pushchair

gecko loved her luna

I really like it but struggle to get over the looney thing. & the character in HP.
