My name is Nuala- my given baptismal name. I have never identified myself as a diminutive of Fionnuala even though linguistically this is true. I was deeply upset to hear my husband tell somebody who was admiring my name that I was really called Fionnuala. He also referred to me as Fionnuala when giving a speech at work. Any other Nuala's out there feel like this? Have to admit I felt it was like identity theft. Didn't help that he had a friend called Fionnuala but he didn't call her Nuala.

We named our daughter Nuala. She was born in 2006. I find the name so uncommon and beautiful. While looking for names easy to spell and say in both English and Spanish -she's growing up between the two languages- I remembered the name from the movie 'Hellboy: The Golden Army'. It was instant love. It is so far away from our culture but the sound is magic to our ears... One day someone will discover it -again- and will make it popular, no doubt about it. In the meantime, we have 'a Nuala' we adore and that means the world to us.

My name is Nuala and I pronounce it Noola the first 'a' is silent - I get all variations of the spelling and pronunciation from people when they see/hear it for the first time. I have also been told it translates to Penelope in English - how true this is I don't know. I can't say I dislike the name, but I have only met about two other Nualas in my life and both were older than me (I'm 45 this year). I don't imagine it will ever be a popular name and while there is nothing fancy about it, it is nice not to have a common name.

I think it could also be pronounced NOO-la, since Fionnuala is pronounced fin-OO-la. But I don't speak Gaelic, so I could be wrong.

In the film "The Secret of Roan Inish", Nuala was a sulkie, or a seal who could shed its skin and become human. It is said that anyone who could capture a sulkie's skin would have complete control over it; but once a sulkie finds its skin, neither chains of steel nor chains of love can keep it from the sea.
