How this list was made
We compared Luna's rank in every year from 1880 to 2025 with every other girl's name in the 2025 top 1,000 (US Social Security birth records); the closest curves come first. Years outside the top 1,000 count the same however far outside, years since 1995 count four times as much, and each name appears in one spelling.
