I like it! I think it's cute and it reminds me of light, like illumination/luminescent/etc.

I included this in a poll I held yesterday. I love it, even though it sound on the nicknamey side. :) Maybe it's a bit cutesy, too, but I don't know. :P It's just great. :)

Cute name :)

It's a sweet little name and I like it, but it's a bit close to loony.

It makes me think of the Lummi ("LUM-ee") Indian Tribe, here in the Pacific Northwest (U.S.). That's not a bad reference. Just a different feeling than Lumi / snow. Is it "LOO-mee" or "LUM-ee?" If the former, then I can get behind it, especially with a Scandinavian surname. But if it's the latter, then I don't care for the sound of it as a name. It would rhyme with tummy.

I say LOO-mee. And I actually live in Western WA, and have never heard of that tribe, so I don't think it would be TOO much of a problem.

I think it's a gorgeous name. I love snow names.

Lumi to me sounds too close to "loony" but it is a pretty name.
