I’ve had this one on my “love it but not for me” list for a while. I love that it’s short and sweet and full of personality. But how versatile is it? Would you want to be called [name_f]Una[/name_f]? What kind of woman do you imagine when you hear the name [name_f]Una[/name_f]?
Also, I don’t like the [name_f]Oona[/name_f] spelling. That double o freaks me out. I prefer [name_f]Una[/name_f] by a mile. So any and all thoughts not related to the spelling would be very appreciated!
I like [name_f]Una[/name_f], but don’t love it and I agree that it’s prettier spelled this way and not [name_f]Oona[/name_f]. I think of tall and classic looking for this name. She’s a character in L.M. [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m]'s [name_f]Rainbow[/name_f] [name_f]Valley[/name_f] and [name_f]Rilla[/name_f] of Ingleside and that’s kind of my conception of the name.
I like [name_f]Oona[/name_f]/[name_f]Una[/name_f] fairly well. I had [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Oona[/name_f] on my list a while back. 
I do prefer the [name_f]Oona[/name_f] spelling, but won’t try to convince you. I get freaked out by the fact that “una” (or a very similar word, like “uma” or “une”) is the word for “one” in several languages. Not a bad thing, I suppose, but [name_f]Oona[/name_f] just feels more bubbly/happy, and actually like a name.
I do like it a lot, though, and would love to see it used! It feels quite different from what your usual style is (or what I remember it to be–I haven’t seen your actual girls’ names list in a while)–[name_f]Anne[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Helen[/name_f], [name_f]Sybil[/name_f], etc.? Still a nice name, though, and I have several names on my list that aren’t really a perfect fit with my other favorites. I do think [name_f]Una[/name_f] is a very nice name!
Good luck!
@[name_u]Ashley[/name_u], [name_f]Una[/name_f]‘s similarity to una, une, etc is one of the things that’s kept it off my list for so long. And my girls’ list is very up in the air right now. I’ve only got seven names on it: [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], [name_f]Helen[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], and [name_f]Mary[/name_f]. My “love but wouldn’t actually use” list is a bit more eccentric ([name_f]Minerva[/name_f], [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f], [name_f]India[/name_f], [name_f]Zelda[/name_f], etc). I feel like [name_f]Una[/name_f] falls somewhere in between, but maybe I’ve just been on nameberry too long.
I like [name_f]Una[/name_f] fine, but i think you gotta be a go with the flow kinda person to get into it.
[name_m]How[/name_m] funny as my thoughts mirror yours but in regards to loving the spelling [name_f]Oona[/name_f] and not liking [name_f]Una[/name_f]. I think it’s a beautiful name that ages well.
I love [name_f]Una[/name_f], slightly prefer [name_f]Oona[/name_f] spelling but nevertheless, love the name! [name_f]IMO[/name_f], it sounds very sophisticated.
I think [name_f]Una[/name_f] embodies a fascinating blend of elegance, quirkiness, and simplicity all in one little name. It’s really a pity that it resembles the word, “uno” so much – and that Uno is a common card game. [name_f]Una[/name_f] was top-ranking on my short list at the end of my name search, but ultimately I ruled it out because of Spanish-speakers and game-players in my family. So I guess I end up in the same boat as you: it would be a lovely name… for someone else.
I think it goes well with your list for girls - it’s simple but elegant in the same way that they seem to be. I’m not really sure where I got this impressions from, but [name_f]Una[/name_f] makes me think of literature - I would imagine an [name_f]Una[/name_f] being an avid reader.
[name_f]Una[/name_f] is quirky name but as somebody whose learning Spanish I just don’t think it would work for me as I surrounded by the language and people who speak the language. I think [name_f]Una[/name_f] is great but not for me. I’m in the same boat as you.
I like this name on paper but I don’t think I could start my daughter’s name with an “ew” sound.
[name_f]Una[/name_f] was a character in an [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_u]Christie[/name_u] book. I can’t remember which one, but I’m super sure. I remember she was Australian. I love the name, and I think I may use it-but in a long, long time.
