HelpRe: Questions on Luna
in reply to a message by araslanka
I love the name Luna. It's been on my Maybe-I-Can-Use-This-For-A-Baby List since I was a little girl. Yes, I've been OBSESSED with names that long. I loved it long before Harry Potter's Luna was ever in the books.
All names usage depends on the last name. It effects the flow. If you guys have Luna Maeve or Maeve Luna in the works, I'm guessing it sounds nice with your last name even if it's the first name of a character in a popular books series.
Here's how I see Luna. If you love it, use it. It's not like Luna was a bad character. She was quirky, cute, and well-loved by many fans. Luna's been used in a lot of other books too, I'm sure. It's fine. What matters is if you love it. If it was me, Luna would be the first name as soon as my significant other said it was a go. I just think it's a great name, in my opinion, of course.
Harry Potter was a very popular series and it's a great one to pass on to kids. By all means, Luna the character is not a terrible image for a real life child. She was intelligent, independent, loyal to those she cared about, and she stayed true to herself above all else. Harry couldn't manage that at times and he was the main character.
As for Tamsin, I really don't know how to feel about that name. It's just not one I'm really into, but if you love it, use it. It's all about finding the perfect name for the person you're going to love, raise, and care for for the rest of your life. You have to go with what your gut tells you, basically. Your instincts know the answer :D
Leo is an adorable name. I love it. Leo and Luna is an amazing sibset. :D

Woww, thanks for the reply!
Both versions sound great with our last name so yeah, it's just an issue for me if people roll their eyes at two HP names on the same person. But most people are saying that it's no big deal, and the series isn't as crazy popular as it was a few years ago, and all this kind of thing.
I'm happy you love the name. It is a great name. If it wasn't for the HP worry I would've told my boyfriend yes already!
I do love Tamsin. We both do though the nn Tammy is not very nice, Tamsi is so cute :)
I don't mind if you don't like it. I'm not expecting everyone to love the names we choose!! But what I don't want is for everyone to be saying (or thinking) things like:
"I can't believe you named your twins Luna and Tamsin! They don't match!" Or "Luna?? With your last name? Haa, Harry Potter.." and that kind of thing.
I'm glad you think Leo and Luna work okay in the same set. We get compliments on Leo's name all the time ^_^
Thanks again!!
