It can't often be said about truly one-of-a-kind names, but Adeluna would fit in perfectly with the stylish names of Right Now. It's one part Adeline and one part Luna, yet totally unique.

It could also be considered a variation of Adaluna, the Ada-Luna hybrid with connections to England's River Lune.
