*** Also, I just didn't get the idea that Ginny and Luna were that close at the beginning of OOTP. I got the idea that Ginny ''knew'' Luna, because they were in the same year and thinks she's a decent person (similar to how Harry is familiar with someone like Justin Finch-Fletchley, but isn't necessarily close), and therefore Ginny, being occasionally given to being abrasive, might not be bothered too much about whether Luna would be hurt by being called 'Looney'. By HBP, after fighting at the ministry together (as well as probably spending more time together, being the only two girls their age in the DA), they're friends, and Ginny doesn't tolerate anyone bullying her.

*** Luna may have given Ginny, her closest person to a friend, the option to call her Loony since she knew Ginny meant in in jest, not maliciously. When others called Luna in a nasty way in Ginny's earshot, she would stand up for her friend.

**** ultimately it should be as simple as this: Harry knew someone called Luna. If his kid has Luna as a middle name then they're named after the Luna he knew. No need to starting thinking along the lines of stuff like, maybe Luna meant moon which is related to werewolves so it's really a nod to Lupin etc
