Please help. 39 weeks preg and having major name doubts😞
My son’s name is Luca. We’re now expecting a girl, and I love the name Luna. Ive been trying to accept Ella as an alternative but I keep missing Luna.
My husband thinks its dumb to have 2 similar names like Luca and Luna for siblings.
Be honest with me. How bad is it? Please vote.
Thanks friends xx

Perhaps you could have Luna as a middle name (or even as a second middle name)?
Way too close. There’s only a one letter difference and they sound really similar. if Ella isn’t feeling right, maybe you should search for additional options
Yes looks like it will be a middle name
Thanks for your honesty. X
i would never say it’s dumb, but it’s definitely too close
Hi there! Congratulations on the soon arrival of baby girl!
Yes, unfortunately, I do agree that Luca & Luna are too similar for siblings. I expect it to be very common to love names that are very similar, but can’t be used for siblings. I really love the idea as Luna as a middle name. Then you don’t have to completely give up a name that you truly love. However, Ella Luna doesn’t have the best flow.
What about:
Penelope Luna
Ruby Luna
Vivian Luna
Isabel Luna
Sofie Luna
Evelyn Luna
Elizabeth Luna “Ella”
Eleanor Luna “Ella”
If you’ve already decided on another middle name and not truly in love with Ella, these come to mind that have a similar style to both Ella & Luna:
Mila
Nora
Stella
Isla
Ivy
Lily
Olive
Cora
Zoe
Maybe you would like a name with a similar sound to [name_f]Luna[/name_f]? What about [name_f]Runa[/name_f] (or maybe even [name_u]Rune[/name_u], [name_u]Rue[/name_u], or Rooney)? [name_u]Or[/name_u] something with the [name_f]Lu[/name_f]- sound like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] or [name_u]Louise[/name_u]. [name_u]Or[/name_u] since you’re considering [name_f]Ella[/name_f] then maybe [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] would work for you since it has the same [name_f]El[/name_f]- sound as [name_f]Ella[/name_f] but has the same [name_f]Lu[/name_f]- sound as [name_f]Luna[/name_f].
Thank you for the suggestions.
Wouldn’t call it dumb but they are way too similar
Thanks for the suggestions
[name_m]Way[/name_m] too similar unfortunately!! You might like [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] as an alternative? Best of luck!
I do think they are too similar.
I like the suggestions of using it as a middle name.
One suggestion/alternative i haven’t seen is Evaluna/Eveluna (or perhaps Evelina).
I’m sorry but yeah they are definitely too close for me. They are both beautiful names though. I’m so sorry you can’t use [name_f]Luna[/name_f].
I know of siblings named [name_u]Luca[/name_u] & [name_f]Lola[/name_f] which might appeal to you. [name_f]Lola[/name_f] kind of combines [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Luna[/name_f] without sharing too many sounds with [name_u]Luca[/name_u]
unfortunately they are too close 
it’s common to like names that are very similar
love the previous suggestion of Lyra for you! also like the suggestion of Evaluna
some other ideas:
Lumi (not sure if it’s too close to Luca)
Lola
Lyla
Lila
Lilah
Lina
Lidia
Lia
Lana
Lena
Lexa
Layla
Linnea
Nimue
Nova
Mila
Aurora
Kaia
Kira
Mira
Maia
Gaia
You could also try flipping some letters around to create more of a distinct sound, separate from [name_u]Luca[/name_u]. How about:
[name_f]Nola[/name_f]
[name_f]Nala[/name_f]
Could also try:
[name_f]Juna[/name_f]
[name_f]Lena[/name_f]
[name_f]Mena[/name_f]
[name_f]Mila[/name_f]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Anya[/name_f]
Good luck!
Too close for me I’m afraid. I second the suggestions of [name_f]Lyra[/name_f], [name_f]Lola[/name_f] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f]
I’ll also throw in the suggestions [name_f]Una[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f],
Luca and Luna are to close together. If you need to put it into perspective go into your house and yell out the two names. Will one kid get confused when you call out the other name.
For Luna you could always use a double name like Ella-Luna …
I would go with something different
What about
Luca & Nova
Luca & Nora
Luca & Estella
Luca & Estelle
Luca & Stella
Luca & Chloe
Luca & Zoe
Luca & Thea
Luca & Cora
Luca & Clara
Luca & Lena
Luca & Lexi
Luca & Kaia
Luca & Lilah
Luca & Rhea
It’s very close. I agree with the husband. Sorry. What about [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]? [name_f]Mila[/name_f] or even [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]?
