There's a newish character called Luna in the American soap "The Bold and the Beautiful". What amuses me is that although the character is probably of the right age group for it, other characters, some new, in the soap have names that rose to prominence long after the middle-aged soap characters in question were "born" - Brooke, Poppy, Taylor, etc.

It’s cool, but I wish it wasn’t popular. I think of Luna Lovegood. Also Luna bars and Roman mythology. In my opinion, it should have just stayed on those things mostly. But now that it is popular, it’s less distinctive but still a good name.

To those of y'all hating on popular names, I just want to say that I personally am not a huge fan of "popular" names (as in, top 100) but all names are beautiful. They shape you as a person. Growing up, I had a cat named Luna, who was not always friendly but was one of my closest friends. I love the "moon" meaning and various European origins.

According to Bark, a pet toy company, this is one of the most popular dog names in the US. I personally have never met a dog called Luna, but based on some of the previous comments here I'm led to believe this is probable. Maybe keep that in mind before giving it to your child.

I have loved Luna for a long time now. It’s magical, ethereal, and sweet without being too frilly or anything. It can fit any kind of girl and the moon is a beautiful piece of nature. Luna is a lovely name I would love to use someday. I can’t use it as a middle name because it’s a bit too popular, but Beatrix Luna sounds nice to me.

Objectively beautiful, but growing up in the 2000s everybody thought it was a dark mysterious name so there were a lot of cringey emo characters named Luna on DeviantArt, AO3, and the like. So I associate it with a brooding 13 year old who wishes she were in a fantasy YA book. I didn't know it was in Harry Potter but that just makes it cringier for me. Makes it feel even less like a "real" name.

It's a really pretty name, and I can imagine it on anyone of any age without a problem, but sadly I would have to advise against using it for the same reasons I would advise against using names like Olivia or Sophia- as beautiful as these names are, they are very popular right now, and a girl named Luna will almost certainly be known as "Luna M." or "Luna B." or the like. However, if you have your heart absolutely set on using Luna for your daughter, I say go for it! I would consider using it as a middle name, personally.

Sorry, I know it's a very nice name, but in my country (Spain), Luna is an incredibly used name for a dog. In fact, my aunt had a dog named Luna and I have met several other dogs with that same name, so I don't see it as a name for person. Very sorry.

Luna has long been my favorite girl’s name. It’s so pretty, the meaning is awesome, and it’s not too popular. I often hear that it sounds like a cat/dog name, which I think is fair, but we give pets and humans the same names all the time. One of my friends has a dog named Jasmine, which is a perfectly acceptable name on humans. I don’t see why the same isn’t true for Luna.

To be honest, I like this name. Especially Luna Dawn. The fact that you could possibly be teased with this name (names like tuna, looney, lunatic) kinda ruined it for me. But other than that, it’s pretty.

Thanks to Harry Potter, I now love this name. Luna Lovegood may be a bit odd, but she is one of the kindest, purest, most compassionate characters ever. Don't be scared to name your child this because of possible "Loony" nicknames. "Luna" isn't as widely associated with Harry Potter as "Hermione" or something is, so people probably won't even notice. And if they do, I for one would be proud to be named after such a loving, sweet person! If I have twins, I might name them Luna and Estella (the latter of which I think is prettier than just Stella.)

I like this name, just not on a human. Luna is a pet name. Yes, I know there is a Luna in Harry Potter, but that is in a different world, and wizards all have weird names. Most names are regular names, but there is something about it that you know is different. Luna is one of those names.

Luna is a cool name to me. It’s modern, but doesn’t have a time stamp on it like other modern names. I also enjoy how rare it is, seeing as I have never met a Luna. I think the only thing that holds me back from using it on a child is the fact that I see it working for a cat. It’s not impossible for a child to bear, but most names involving the moon and sun are used on cats for the most part. I still like it though. Also, for any worrying about a child’s name being teased, I can’t see anything bad with Luna, I think most people just exaggerate some teases. Anyway, good name and a cool one though. Prefer it over Selena as Luna is more down-to-earth while Selena seems more royal.
5

I think that Luna is so much stronger and refined than “Selena.” “Selene” is a little bit better but it still seems to be missing something. Selena/Selene sounds more like a flouncy princess, while Luna reminds me more of a dancer. Luna is a beautiful, wild sort of name. I especially love the meaning of “moon.” And who cares that it is close to “lunatic?”.

His CD cover works led him to work on designing posters, magazine covers, and comprehensive packaging design.

I just wanted to add that I think Eclipse would be an awesome middle name for Luna, because it would be really close to Lunar or solar Eclipse, a truly extraordinary phenomenon to see, and so rare, so amazing, like any baby.
I really do love this name and only associate it with the moon. I did also like Luna from Harry Potter, but my adoration for Luna, as a name, is independant of any character in any story.

Yeah.. I'm so happy, my name is Luna, I'm Italian, and I'm not the only person with this name! I've met no more than 4 people with the same name... very different people from me!
However this name means "moon" in Latin, but it wasn't used as a name in Latin since the goddess of the moon had also a Greek name.
Then it become Italian and Spanish, in Italy some people had this name thanks to a song of a famous Italian singer named Gianni Togni who wrote a song called "Luna" (a terrible song) and that's how I got this name.
In French the name is Lune, but I don't know if it's used very much.
However... I love my name and I think it reflects my personality... so much moody!

Great care would need to be taken, otherwise it risks appearing pretentious, infantile, and potentially 'hippie-ish' or deeply pertaining witchcraft. Consider the possibility of your child struggling with unnecessary barriers due to a name you committed.

It's an okay name, but for me it's too hippy-like. It reminds me too much of the moon and the word "lunar."

I really like this name, you don't really hear it in Britain, but it's one of those names I can see getting popular in the future. And, like many others, I think it suits the character from the Harry Potter series of books. :)

Luna also means "Moon" and "Month" in Romanian.

I've met a few Luna's, and they both seem to have been born in the late 80's and were of northern Italian ancestry. Must have been popular at the time.
I think it's kind of cute, but would probably use it on a pet instead of a human.

Who cares if it's a name for a cat, or even is the origin of lunatic, or loony? Somehow anything associated with the moon (apart from science and spaceships) fascinates me.

In Czech Luna is a word for moon used in poetry. As a name it's really rare, but I like it because I love the goddess of moon, more Greek Selene but Roman Luna is good too.

I rather like this name, as I had a friend throughout school (and to this day) named Luna. It's cute and spunky, if not a bit off-beat. However, I do think it's better used as a middle name, lest the bearer turn up a bit odd (or just annoy an ever-so-creative classmate) and be referred to as "Lunatic" forever-more.

I am reminded of those weird nutrician bar things, you know "Luna bars". I like Selena better. Luna does sound kind of new-agey to me. Oh well. To each his or her own.

Sharon den Adel and Robert Westerholt, the lead singer and guitarist of the Opera Rock band Within Temptation (respectively) have a daughter named Eva Luna (whom they call Luna). Within Temptation is one of my favorite bands, and Sharon den Adel is one of my favorite singers. Luna is one of my favorite names.

The name seems like one of those names that slightly kooky parents would use. It sounds quite new-age-y or overly poetic and otherworldly to me, and it might just lead to epithets like Lunatic, Loon, or Loonie.

I like this name. I really like it. I would like to use Lilly Luna for a daughter. The Luna part is from the character Luna Lovegood from Harry Poter.

Luna is laos the Filipino's Goddess of the moon, who was in love with Kertes, a human, which she protected by a shield. Sometimes we cannot see her because she weeps for her lover, who got killed by the sun.

Luna is nice. I love the meaning, but I love Selena a lot better. They both have the same meaning. Luna reminds me of Luna Lovegood. I hate that character in Harry Potter. I am attached to Selena. Becides, it would be confusing for the people that speak Spanish if they named their kid Luna.

I think Luna is a beautiful name, and I would consider naming my daughter that. And of course it would be after Luna Lovegood in the HP series.

My best friend's name is Luna and she's almost pure Italian. Her mom said it was popular in Italy.

This name is derived from the word 'lunatic'. Hard to believe, but Lunatic is part of the reason the name 'Luna' came to be. It may be becasue I consider myself that way, but that doesn't frighten me in the least! I encourage people to call me Luna, though it's not my name.

Actually, it's the other way around. I read that people used to think that people turned crazy because of the influence of the moon. The Latin word for moon is Luna, so they used the word lunatic for a crazy person.
I really like this name and when I hear or see it I absolutely don't think of a lunatic but of a bright full moon in a dark blue sky. One of my friends chose Luna for a middle name (she didn't have one) and I think it suits her brilliantly because she's a myserious but bright person.

I love this name! Of course, the main reason why is because of Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter series. Still, I think it is pretty!

This is one of my favorite names. I love it's mystic quality! Plus, there are so many people who bear this name, like the goddess of the moon, it's the word for moon in some languages, not to mention many literary characters! I just love it! And, in my opinion, I don't think a kid with this name would be teased, I think she would have the other kids complimenting it!

The history of the name is from a count of origins for Luna. The meaning is also "a goddess who rules the moon." What it came from the most would have to be Italy. Also, Spanish use it frequently.

Luna Fernandez was the character played by Georgina Mollo in the Argentinian soap opera "Rebelde Way".

A Spanish group called Mecano has a famous song called "Hijo de La Luna" which is sang in Spanish but later on, sang also in English. Very good song by the way. It's the story of the moon who wanted a child.

"Luna" means "moon" in Bulgarian too, but the stress is on the "a". "Luna" is not used as a name in Bulgaria.

I think it's a beautiful name, especially when pronounced the Spanish way (it sounds more like LO-na). And I like the character Luna Lovegood from "Harry Potter". But I don't think I would use the name if I lived in an English-speaking country. It's too close to "loner" and "lunatic".

In a Brazilian soap opera called "Alma Gémea" (Soul Mate), Luna was the soul mate of Rafael and died to protect him, reincarnating later as an Indian girl called Serena.

This is the Russian word for 'moon' as well. There is a song by Alsou called Solntse e Luna (The Sun and the Moon). Very lovevly song & I think both make lovely names.

I can't believe no one's posted this yet, but Luna Lovegood is in J.K. Rowling's famous "Harry Potter."

As mentioned before, Luna Lovegood of Ravenclaw bears this enchanting name. Since "Luna" originated from "lune," the moon, it has been derived as a spacey, yet intelligent name. Jo Rowling has incorporated a spacy character into her novels known as Luna, who I think is a perfect fit for the name. JK has done this etymology-lesson with other names, such as Hermione, Draco, Dumbledore, and the Black family. BTW, I am a complete looney-for-Luna fan (as true HP fans can tell by my screenname) and think the actress playing her in OotP is perfect. =)

Luna is a counterpart of the Greek goddess Selene. I think Luna is a very sweet and enchanting name. It is also the name of the character in JK Rowling's famous books: Luna Lovegood.

It is not only a Latin word, but even Italian and Spanish, and probably in other languages too. It is getting more popular in Italy in the last years, but it is still rare.
