Luna is a gorgeous boho baby name that pairs beautifully with lots of adorable middle names.
This sweet two-syllable name means moon in Latin.
The popular Harry Potter books and films – featuring a strange but heroic girl called Luna Lovegood who is at school with the titular character – have led the name Luna to grow in popularity.
It sits at number 36 in the chart of the most popularity baby girl names, according the ONS.
It is also the 11th most used baby girl name in the US. So a hugely popular name that has steadily climbed up the charts in the last two decades.
Middle names to go with Luna
Some striking, unusual baby names that will work wonderfully with Luna include Dulcie, Delphine, Quinn, Ophelia and Rue.
This nature boho name goes great with similar hippy names such as Iris, Astrid, Zara, and Persephone.
Luna also goes great with vintage girl name classics such as Pearl, Penelope and Edith.
As Luna is a short name it pairs beautifully with longer and more elaborate middle names, for example Luna Evangeline.
I also love Luna Carraway as a unique and boho idea.
Luna is a four-letter name ending in “a”, and you would expect that it perhaps wouldn’t work with a name of a similar form. But actually I think these combinations of similar names can come together really well.
Some examples of this are Luna Mila, Luna Nora, Luna Nova, Luna Orla and Luna Cara.
Here are a few baby name themes that work with Luna and some ideas to help you with your inspiration!

| Luna Soleil | Luna Hazel | Luna Birdie | Luna Briar |

Final thoughts on middle name ideas for Luna
Still struggling to pick a middle name for your baby girl?
Finding the perfect baby name combination is such a personal decision, and it’s fine if you take a long time making this big choice.
Some steps that may help you to make a decision are:
- Write the names down. Make a shortlist of your favourite name options. When it comes to middle and first name combinations, write those down in full so you can see them.
- Check the initials. You want to avoid initials, including the surname, that spell out something embarrassing or rude.
- Take your time. If the debate is going round in circles between you and your partner, then take a step back and have a week off. There is no rush to make this decision!
- Put the names somewhere you can see them. Write your favourite names down on a piece of paper and stick them to the fridge. Take a look at them every day and take time to consider which one appeals to you the most.
