Thoughts on the name Luna??

Melnat2007

We heard this name  the other day and over time it has grown on us. We generally like traditional names ie: DD's name Amelia, so we are a little surprised we like this one so much.

Is it too "hippie"? Thoughts?

I like it Luminor I think would work well too, if you don't like the b*tches that put "Tick" after, but if you like the name, use it! I think it's pretty

I only think of "looney" Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter

It's a very hippy name. Not bad, but definitely out there and a lot of people will reference Harry Potter.

Yup! This and Sailor Moon are my only connections. I think it's more of a pet's name, but it could work.

My dog is named Luna.  I think it is a really pretty name, and I could see it for a human too.

Jessimurph

I love Luna! Beauriful name!

I personally don't like it at all--too many easy twists: Luna-tic, Looney, Etc. Sorry.

It's OK, it kind of makes me think of a cat, not a child.

Seriously? Because someone pointed out that an easy tease for Luna would be "Luna-tic" you're calling them that? She asked for honest reactions.

mrsworkcrush

I too think of Harry Potter, and think the name is really pretty!

I think it's much cuter for a dog than a person. And I don't really think it goes with Amelia.

I think of this or the fact that I know of pets named Luna and no people. 

sbost0118

Maybe use it as a nickname or a middle name that you call her by?  I would just want to give her options if she doesn't like it as an adult. 

LadyExtravaganza

I had a foster dog named Luna (after Luna Lovegood). I called her "Looney Bin" and "Loony Luna".

It's my guilty pleasure name, I'm a giant Harry Potter fan and Luna Lovegood is freakin' awesome! That said, I don't think I'd ever use it IRL. And I don't think it goes well with your DD's name.

This.

lageorgiapaperie

I love it

Definitely make the HP connection, but that is a good thing in my book!!

StephCripps

I like it..

I wouldn't have gotten the HP connection (but i've never read the books or seen any of the movies...)

There was a girl named Luna who rented our place before us..

I know too many IRL. It's cute, but I don't want to hear it on another baby. I know 2 Lunas in my neighborhood alone (both around DD's age, 1 in her pre-school), plus 2 good friends outside NYC with daughters the same age named Luna AND one of my clients has a granddaughter named Luna (age 2 or so). That's too many Lunas in my life.

BlindysWife

I have a soft spot for this name. I think its beautiful. I do make the Luna/Harry Potter connection, but like someone else said, it's not a bad connection for me... She was my fav character in the books. I personally wouldn't use it though, only because of the "looney" potential for teasing. But I would love to meet a little Luna irl!

Mamaofthesea

I love Luna. So pretty and feminine. It's on my list too. It does seem like a very different type of name than your DDs name, but I don't agree that all your children's name HAVE to "go together" or be the same style.  Your kids will be different people and you're allowed to like a diversity of types of names. If you decide it's the right name for this LO, go for it!

I do think of it as "hippie",but I love it anyways.If you are worried about using a name that is a little too different,you could use it as a MN.

sweetpealee

I love it!

It's my mom's cat's name. Those are my only thoughts.

aubreyan

It's my aunt's dog's name.  So I just think dog..and they call her Luna Tuna which would bug me on a little girl.  I don't know..

mrsp+3

Oh this is a total guilty pleasure name for me!  If I could talk DH into it, I would totally use it.

Yes, I do think of HP right away, but I also think of the Jason Mraz song "Bella Luna."  

Love this name! 

alliejo725

I think it's pretty (I even like the celeb-crazy Stellaluna, in its own right), but I can't get over the insanity-association.

Just the other day, a doctor at work was talking about how he refuses to go to the behavioral health floor on full moons...

Smootchy

I don't think it's hippie... I'm arabic and know a few girls named Luna who are arabic, not hippie at all.

Britrichele17

Very cute!

Too close to tuna and loon for me.
