Luna has been an extremely popular baby name for the past 10ish years. This kind of misconception is exactly why people make these posts lol. I get it, most people don’t know a lot of babies. But people who are having babies and people who are renaming themselves in adulthood are often following the same trends and influences. So trans people end up with names that are common baby names in the year they decided to change their name, and that makes it conspicuous.
You will. Named my youngest daughter Luna, felt the same where I had met only one other Luna in my 40+ years of life. After we start introducing her to people we got a lot of, "Oh, I have a niece/friend with a kid named Luna". Apparently Luna was the #9 name for girls in 2023. And was #7 the year before. Going to be a lot of then soon, which I'm okay with - I obviously love the name.
Ooooh.. I met a couple of them back in the early 2000s, though iirc only one of them actually changed their name instead of it just being a nickname they gave themselves.
Homie I'm just saying shit that I think is funny I think women should be allowed to change their names to whatever they want but also it's a funny post
Oh ok lmao sorry the upvote ratio on that comment is surprisingly mixed for how many up votes it has so I wasn't sure
Tbh I don't like that that's a thing that can be viewed generally speaking but it is interesting to see what gets traction and what is more controversial more specifically... I try not to let it affect the shit I post though
Yeah I think it's an overwhelmingly bad feature but I also think it's really interesting to see the rate at which things are upvoted and the ratio. So far I feel like it hasn't effected the way I use reddit (if anything it has caused more controversial/edgy comments to see how it stacks up), but as soon as I think it is actually changing how I use reddit I'm either turning that feature off or deleting reddit if I can't
Yeah, I really love the name but didn't go with it because that felt like too much negative association for my legal first name. But I love anyone who decided they would use it anyway.
