Okay, so, I am a total book and name nerd. In my opinion those two things go together, but sometimes I wonder if it goes overboard?
But anyway, the Name is [name]Luna[/name] [name]Elidi[/name] [name]Reed[/name]. (Last Name begins with an H.) It’s not for a real child, just a fantasy. But I just wanted to know what other people thought.
Does [name]Elidi[/name] look like a misspelling of [name]Elodie[/name]? It’s not, but do you think non-name nerds would think so?
Are the sun and moon references to obvious and hippy-ish?
Does [name]Reed[/name] seem out of place?
Is [name]Luna[/name] too [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name]-ish? [name]Luna[/name] Lovegood is the inspiration and namesake, but everywhere I look people seem to think that is a bad thing.
Sorry for the rambling, but just wanted some wise nameberries’ opinions. Thanks in advance!
[name]Luna[/name] [name]Elidi[/name] [name]Reed[/name]…I personally think that this doesn’t really flow too well. [name]Reed[/name] does seem a bit out of place. The rest of the name is so girly and [name]Reed[/name] to me is all boy…and I’ve got to be honest that I did think [name]Elidi[/name] was [name]Elodie[/name] (which I’m not too fond of). Is it pronounced the same way as [name]Elodie[/name]? I don’t think that is a huge problem though, as [name]Elodie[/name] is still fairly uncommon (in my area anyway) so most people probably won’t see it as a ‘mispelling’ but rather as just an unusual name.
I didn’t know about ‘the sun and moon’ thing, so I personally don’t think the average person will get it either (so no problems with it sounding ‘hippy-ish’).
As for [name]Luna[/name]…I have never read the HP books so I don’t have that association. I have been trying to like [name]Luna[/name] for a while (because I love the moon) but I just keep coming back to ‘lunatic’ in my mind. When I do get past that though, [name]Luna[/name] is a beautiful name!
I think a longer middle name will look and sound better with [name]Luna[/name]. Something like [name]Luna[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name], [name]Luna[/name] [name]Guinevere[/name] (or [name]Genevieve[/name]), [name]Luna[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] or [name]Luna[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name], but that’s my opinion.
If you want two middle names, I would try going for the first middle having 3 syllables and then the second having 1 syllable. It sounds better that way, I find.
Examples: [name]Luna[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Ruth[/name], [name]Luna[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Faye[/name], [name]Luna[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Pearl[/name], Luna Elidi Jane, Luna Elidi Maeve, Luna Elidi Rose…
When I do get past that though, [name]Luna[/name]
