[Opinions] Una
Thoughts on Una?I know it is pronounced OO-na, but I've heard people say YOU-na as well. Does anyone know if this is a genuine pronunciation (if such a thing exists)? Do you have a preference?Here are some combinations I've been thinking about. Opinions/suggestions are very welcome :)Una Antoinette
Una Arianne
Una Charlotte
Una Clothilde
Una Edwige
Una Fabienne
Una Fidelia
Una Gudrun - I understand the sound is too repetitive but I find this really visually appealing.
Una Konstantina
Una Maeve
Una Morag
Una Rosaline
Una Sophie
Una Sibylla
Una Violet

I pronounce it the same as Oona, and I prefer that spelling. It's a kooky name, but it reminds me of Charlie Chaplin. I give it a pass.I like Una Charlotte and Una Maeve.

I love the name Una (oo-na) so much, don't really dig the you-na pronunciation. I love Una Antoinette. Actually if I used Una the mn would definitely be Antoinette because that is the only middle name I am really stuck on if I ever have a daughter! The only other combos I like on your list are Una Maeve, Una Rosaline , and Una Violet.

Una Violet is my favorite on the list.I've seen it being spelled as Unna, but that was only on a killer whale.
