What spelling do you prefer? I personally prefer [name_f]Oona[/name_f], as I’ve always loved it. I also like the spelling [name_f]Oonagh[/name_f] and [name_f]Una[/name_f], but for [name_f]Oonagh[/name_f], I’m worried people might associate it with [name_f]Amber[/name_f] Heard, and that is not the vibe I’m going for.
[name_f][/name_f]I’m also a big fan of nicknames and just can’t think of any[name_f][/name_f], so I am open to nicknames!
[name_f][/name_f]I also want to know what you would name siblings to Oona/Una/Oonagh and what middle names work with Oona/Una/Oonagh

Not sure how [name_f]Oonagh[/name_f] & [name_f]Amber[/name_f] Heard are related, tbh, and she’s not a huge[name_f][/name_f] celebrity anyway so it’s probably fine? I’ve not heard her name since the trial from a few years ago so unless I’m in a bubble, I don’t see it as a defining association.
[name_f][/name_f]That said, I like [name_f]Una[/name_f] the most! It’s the most international spelling and I find the look of the U more chic than the Oo!

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite is definitely Una…short and so so sweet 
[name_f][/name_f] I don’t mind [name_f]Oonagh[/name_f] or [name_f]Oona[/name_f], but they give very different vibes to me than what [name_f]Una[/name_f] does!
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite combo is [name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], but I also like…
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Wren[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
For siblings, I’d choose [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_f]Maude[/name_f] for sisters, [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] and [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] for brothers.
[name_f][/name_f]The ‘obvious’ nicknames would be Uni, Nuni, and [name_f]Nan[/name_f] (sounds like a cartoon 
)[name_f][/name_f] but apart from that I think you’d have to get creative, maybe pair it with the middle! E.g. [name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] could become [name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Lou[/name_f], or [name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] could become [name_f]Uma[/name_f] or [name_f]Umi[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Oona[/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] I prefer the [name_f]Oona[/name_f] spelling; it feels more sweet and bubbly to me, and I don’t love[name_f][/name_f] that [name_f]Una[/name_f] just reminds me of a very mundane word in Spanish. [name_f][/name_f] I’m not sure about a nn, [name_f]Oona[/name_f] is already pretty short, unless you do something like Noonie or [name_m]Nana[/name_m]? [name_f][/name_f] Those don’t really feel any shorter than [name_f]Oona[/name_f], though, so I would probably go with just [name_f]Oona[/name_f] unless it was a combo nn like [name_f]Oona[/name_f] [name_f]Lou[/name_f] or something like [name_f]Oona[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Oona[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_f]Oona[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], etc.
[name_f][/name_f]I would lean toward something [name_m]Irish[/name_m] but also something that feels approachable outside of Ireland… [name_f][/name_f] something like Neve/Niamh, [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m], etc.? [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite combo with [name_f]Oona[/name_f] in it is [name_f]Oona[/name_f] [name_f]Chapel[/name_f] or Liliandil [name_f]Oona[/name_f], so I would be very tempted to pair a [name_f]Lily[/name_f] name with Oona; I love Liliandil [name_f]Oona[/name_f] a lot.
[name_f][/name_f]Good luck!
[name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- sweet, simple and lovely!! But i like the others too [name_f][/name_f]- especially [name_f]Oonagh[/name_f]!
All three are lovely however I love the symmetry and overall look off [name_f]Oona[/name_f] she’s so bright and fun. Regarding nicknames the name is already very short so I do not see how you can nickname her in all honesty. I’ve seen some of the berries have created nicknames for her but for me [name_f]Oona[/name_f] is one of those rare gems that doesn’t get shortened and just stands bold as [name_f]Oona[/name_f].

[name_f]Una[/name_f] or [name_f]Oona[/name_f] for me.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Una[/name_f] is chic, spare and understated. [name_f]Oona[/name_f] is fun and quirky. Both fabulous!
[name_f][/name_f]Visually I don’t like the -gh spelling as much.
I totally get the [name_f]Oona[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] love [name_f][/name_f]- it’s such a simple, elegant spelling and just feels really approachable. I agree that [name_f]Oonagh[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] can be tricky. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Una[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] is beautiful too, but I think [name_f]Oona[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] just has that perfect balance of uniqueness and ease.
[name_f][/name_f]As for nicknames, maybe Ooni[name_f][/name_f] or even O[name_f][/name_f] could work? [name_m]Or[/name_m] something more playful like Noni[name_f][/name_f]?
[name_f][/name_f]If I were to pick siblings for Oona/Una/Oonagh[name_f][/name_f], I’d lean into names that feel just as sleek and timeless [name_f][/name_f]- maybe [name_f]Clara[/name_f][name_f][/name_f], [name_f]Eden[/name_f][name_f][/name_f], or [name_f]Maeve[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] for girls, and [name_m]Felix[/name_m][name_f][/name_f], [name_m]Jude[/name_m][name_f][/name_f], or [name_m]Rhys[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] for boys.
[name_f][/name_f]For middles, I think something classic but a little unexpected would be perfect [name_f][/name_f]- like [name_f]Oona[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f][name_f][/name_f], [name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f][name_f][/name_f], or [name_f]Oonagh[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]. What do you think?
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!
Definitely [name_f]Oona[/name_f] and without making the same comments I agree with @tori101

[name_f]Oona[/name_f] is my personal favourite! I love the … symmetry is not what it is, but that’s all I can think of for the double O. [name_f]Una[/name_f] always looks like ‘one’ to me and for [name_f]Oonagh[/name_f], I just don’t love the look of Gs in general.
