1a)What are your thoughts on Larke and Uuna? I’ve liked [name]Lark[/name] for a long time but came across Larke today. Larke looks softer… but it also makes me want to say “larr-ka” (like with the schwa on the end, like for [name]Elke[/name]). 1b) Any thoughts on [name]Larka[/name]? and apparently i can’t make paragraphs on my phone so sorry about that. 2) What are your thoughts on [name]Oona[/name] & Uuna. [name]Do[/name] you have a preference? Thanks so much!
I do like Larke.
I can’t say that I’ve ever seen Uuna before though and I don’t like it at all. When I look at it I want to say Ulna, (like the bone) it’s a big no for me.
-
[name]Lark[/name] or [name]Larka[/name] would be pretty. I don’t think I’d go for Larke.
-
I like the name, but would only spell it [name]Oona[/name] or [name]Una[/name]. Uuna looks bizarre to me and I agree with the pp, it does resemble the bone when with that spelling.
-
I prefer [name]Lark[/name] or [name]Larka[/name]. Laerke (with an umlaut over the a) is, I believe, a real name in Dutch or Danish or something, and in that case the e is definitely a schwa. I think Larke with a decorative e doesn’t quite work with English spelling rules - I mean people would get it, but I don’t think you’d ever really see Marke or [name]Clarke[/name] or something? Maybe [name]Clarke[/name]. Hmm. Still, I’d stick with [name]Lark[/name] or [name]Larka[/name] (or Larken?)

I love [name]Oona[/name], like [name]Una[/name] OK, and don’t really care for Uuna.
I prefer [name]Lark[/name] to Larke and [name]Larka[/name].
[name]Oona[/name] is my preferred spelling, followed by [name]Una[/name]. Uuna just looks wrong.
Larke is pretty cool, but I prefer [name]Lark[/name].
[name]Oona[/name]/Ulna could possibly be one of the worst names that I have ever seen.
I actually really like [name]Una[/name]. Uuna spelling is a little off-putting, but [name]Una[/name] I think is cool.
It’s different, but people are exposed to [name]Uma[/name], so [name]Una[/name] isn’t too far off.
I greatly prefer [name]Lark[/name] to Larke or [name]Larka[/name]. And I don’t even like the name [name]Lark[/name]!
[name]Una[/name] and [name]Oona[/name] are beautiful and the meaning is sweet. It’s a name I would consider using if my cousin didn’t have a very similar sounding name ([name]Uma[/name]). The spelling Uuna looks very strange.
1a) I prefer [name]Lark[/name] because its just more accepted, I suppose. I think Larke would get misspelled often. [name]Lark[/name] is a beautiful name after a lovely bird, which I like, but I’ve always thought of it as a middle name. I guess it’d be refreshing.
1b) [name]Larka[/name] is interesting, but not my style at all. I prefer [name]Lark[/name] to [name]Larka[/name].
- I adore [name]Oona[/name]. Uuna looks misspelled. I don’t know if its a typo but its spelled [name]Una[/name]. The extra “U” throws it off.
I love Larke. And I agree it looks softer. But it may get misspelled often, since people will naturally assume [name]Lark[/name]. But I wouldn’t really let that bother me, since you will get the same thing with [name]Oona[/name]/Uuna/[name]Una[/name]. Her name is spelled one way, and she will often get the other spellings.
I like [name]Oona[/name] or [name]Una[/name]. [name]Oona[/name] is the ‘natural’ spelling for me. But I love the simplicity of [name]Una[/name]. Uuna just doesn’t look right to me.
