I was reading a book that mentioned "
Luna Leopold, a fluvial hydrologist and son of the famous
Aldo Leopold..." I really thought it was a typo so I looked it up and yes,
Aldo Leopold had a son named
Luna.
Does anyone know where Luna-on-a-boy came from? He was born in 1915.
Aldo Leopold's first language was
German but I don't know if that has any precedent in
German either. Maybe they wanted to call him Moon because his mom was
Star (
Estella)? But surely there are less girly versions of Moon??
(I also found out his youngest daughter is still alive and now I'm wondering if she ever gets asked this question...)
