No, for what I think is an obvious reason. It involves bare butts.

No. If one must, use Luna, but never Moon. The "moo" makes it unattractive, I think. Too...cow-ish.

I like it as a surname, though.

It works as a middle name. It's too "space cadet" for a first name, IMO. But I could kinda get used to it if I knew someone named it.

I think it works as a middle name. I like it, to be honest, but it's definitely a GP.

No

Just remember that it's also when people pull down their trousers/pants to expose their butt!

I don't think so, and I really hope not. OK, it's a ln, so not quite as space-cadetty as, e.g., Luna, but with Diana, Phoebe and Selene to choose from, why go downmarket?

My favourite name at age eight... A shameful period of name-loving, for me, my other favourites at that time (all for girls) were Phoenix, Silver, Apple and River. My tastes have certainly become more mainstream since then! However, I think it's be lovely as a surname. I know a girl named Jessie Ffion Hazell, with Hazell being the surname, and I definitely envy her very much!

No, not really. Moon-faces, mooning people, Moon Pies, menstruation, Moon Unit, moonshine. I just really would not want to be called Moon.

Everything Rox just said. Even as a surname, it's not one I'd fancy.

No. Never.

not really

Perhaps for a surname. excessively silly as a first or middle

Sometimes

Moon is the (translated) name of Zhang Ziyi's character in the 2002 movie "Hero", which was a fantastical Chinese treat for the eyes. It totally worked there. But then, the other characters names are called things like Flying Snow and Long Sky. So.

Maybe as a middle name, but Luna is much cuter.

All I can think of is Moon-Moon

Sure, why not?

Star and Sunny are acceptable so why not Moon?

I've toyed with it as a creative NN for Monroe.

If "bare butts" is the most negative association, well, that's sort of nothing right? I mean people still go by BJ, Dick, and Woody, and I find those much more "snicker worthy," especially since at least Moon has other, more immediate associations that the former don't. And I mean, Luna leads to lunatic but people apparently have no problem accepting that as a name at face value.

I think it sounds cool, but I could never see it on a child at all.

I used to know someone with this as a middle name, but sadly her first name was Taylor and Taylor Moon didn't fly so well when Sailor Moon got popular.

It may work as a middle name, but I don't think it would work as a first name at all.

I agree with everyone that it really doesn't sound good as a name. Could pass as a MN. Remember the song "Mary Mooooooooon, she's a vegetarian"? Mary Moon is kind of neat.

Only if her first name is Daphne and she lives in Seattle with Frasier.
