A nickname in English-speaking countries, sometimes for a person who moons around.

Michael "Moonie" Miller was feeling pretty good about things. The day was beautiful. A little breeze, nice and warm, was blowing in from the desert as if often does this time of year in the Los Angeles basin. Two days before Halloween and it's 81 degrees, mid-afternoon. It can't get much better than this, he thought. "Moonie" acquired his nickname years ago but it was hardly relevant anymore.

A fan of the Japanese manga and anime franchise Sailor Moon.

The Moonies and the Dragonballers aren't minorities; they're as large or larger than any other group of animeniacs you're going to find.
