HelpRe: Luna
in reply to a message by Uyulala
I like it, the sound and meaning.
It does smack vaguely of the word 'lunatic,' but that word is rather romantic (that is, it's almost always used as hyperbole and never for the mentally ill except in fanciful contexts). So I think the 'lunatic' connection is more a reminder of the old idea that the moon drives you crazy: Luna seems unpredictable, a dreamer, eccentric -- but not ill.
