Hello,

I'm thinking about naming my daughter Luna. What do you think about this name?

It's funny, DH talked about naming DD#3 this for quite a while... because DD's 1&2 are Lucy and Mina -- so it's a combo of them. LOL I think it's a pretty name too... just a little too "out there" for us (since Lucy and Mina are more traditional names) and it has the "looney" association, too. I wasn't aware of the Harry Potter connection, but that might make it a little more difficult too.

Thanks for your input. Actually I do like the fact that it means moon but also the way it sounds. I'm just now having second thoughts, and there really aren't any other names that I like.

Perhaps you've already tried this, but if not, you might want to check out the Nymbler. I find that sometimes it is right on target, other times not so much - but it's always fun, and who knows? You might find "the name." http://www.nymbler.com/nymbler/find-names.php.

I love Luna, it's lyrical, has a mystical, feminine quality and blends right in with the 2-syllable ends in A trend of this generation - Lila, Mia, Maya, Mina, Julia, Brenna, Isla, Greta et al.

I always preferred the name Raya which I thought meant sun but now I am just not sure. I agree with most of the others - - Luna is cute but make me think of Looney right away.

It's just too close to lunatic for me. I know a little girl named Luna, actually. That's the first thing I thought when I heard her name.

I have a cousin that just named his little girl Luna McKenzie.

My Little Man.  His name is Kaleb Pershing - we call him KP.
