HelpRe: Luna... on a boy?
in reply to a message by RoxStar
Yeah, but that Leuna would sound like Loina in German so I don't think anyone would connect the two. Given a choice, and it would have to be at gun point, I'd rather name a boy Leuna than Luna: you're absolutely right about the feminine connotations of the moon, and there's always the chance of being called Loony, whatever one's gender. It's a non-starter to me.

It seems to be very popular as a dog or cat name. Seems to me a lot of crossover between pet and baby names is going on, and I don't much care for it. (Then again, one of our cats is named Herbert. Then again, again, nobody's named Herbert these days or for quite a few days before my time.)

I haven't noticed that where I live, but it does take a while for US trends to reach the southern hemisphere. Most of my pets have had human names: only four dogs haven't: Bingo and Bonzo, and Whuskers and Wuffles. A spaniel was Sheena, but that was because our other dogs (B and B, W and W) had been Scotties and Westies and her fur was so glossy compared to theirs. Our current cat was named Pixie at the rescue centre, so we stayed with it.
