WDYTO Oona? Do you think it works better as a FN or a MN? Any FN or MN suggestions would be great!

I prefer the spelling Una (though without any accents) because the 'oo' looks weird to me although it is quite cool. Definitely different in a good way - sort of eyecatching without resorting to M'KyLeeSyn or Shayellaleighanna :) (I hope these two are not actually in use).

I like the name and the spelling Una is on my list.

Oona Margaret
Oona Verity
Oona Suzanne
Oona Jacqueline
Oona Daisy
Oona Winifred
Oona Grace
Oona Kirstin
Oona Carys
Oona Morgan
Oona Francesca
Oona Harriet
Oona Maeve
Oona Ariane
Oona Mary
Oona Therese
Oona Leilani
Oona Constance
Oona Joyce
Oona Madeline

Ruthoona cracks me up, haha! :D I agree with you; it does seem to work best in the FN spot.

Oona Verity, Oona Winifred, Oona Francesca, and Oona Mary are all wonderful.

I really like as both a FN and a MN.

I like Oona, but I think it needs a gh at the end to 'balance' the look of the double oo at the beginning- Oonagh.

It always reminds me Oona o'Neil, Charlie Chaplin's last, much younger wife. It's a bit weird, honestly. I always thought Oona o' Neil was a rather unfortunate combination of sounds.

I love the name. It sounds strange at first, but it grows on you.

Charlie Chaplin's wife was named Oona, by the way.

I prefer Oonagh, but Oona is nice too.

The way it looks is a major turnoff to me. Una is fine for someone else's kid (puts me in mind of The Faerie Queene, which is a good thing), but Oona does just about less than nothing for me. :-/

Oona Philomel comes to mind. Oona Charity, Oona Beatrice, Oona Fiacretine. :D

I've got to run, or I'd come up with a proper list for you.

Oona Philomel...

is fabulous; so quirky and beautiful!

I like Una and The Faerie Queene, but I just cannot get over the fact that "una" is an indefinite article in Spanish... it makes the name seem insubstantial to me. I also associate Oona (that spelling) with something in my childhood, maybe a fantasy novel or film? I wish I could remember what.

And I just like "weird" names in general. :P
