This strong but shimmery moonstruck name has been growing in popularity, perhaps influenced by the "Harry Potter" character Luna Lovegood. From 2009 to 2011, it quickly jumped nearly 50 places.

The name of the Roman goddess of the moon is increasingly popular in Europe--Luna is now in the Top 20 in Belgium, for example.

Constance Marie named her daughter Luna, and Joely Fisher and Ellen Pompeo have used it as a middle. More recently, Uma Thurman and Arpad Busson have chosen Luna as the nickname they'll use for daughter Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence.
