"My Name Is Oona" is a short film that came out in 1969 by Gunvor Nelson. It's long made a positive impression on me as a masterpiece of avant-gardism.
Oona is the former Queen of Dreamland, and main character Bean's former stepmother, on the Netflix show "Disenchantment" (created by Matt Groening).She seems to be of an aquatic species separate from regular humans, and there are references to her laying eggs and sleeping while suspended from the ceiling. Oona eventually becomes a pirate queen.

In the book "Smack" by Melvin Burgess, about some teenage runaways who become addicted to heroin, the two main characters, Gemma and Tar (real name David) have a daughter named Oona. I love this name, it is so much prettier spelled Oona than Una! It's also close to one of my favorite names, Luna. Oona really is a beautiful name.
Oona is also the name of a fairy in the 1985 movie "Legend", starring Tom Cruise and Tim Curry. I know someone who named her daughter Oonaleyna (which she made up by combining Oona and Lena). I think Oona is a very sweet, otherworldly name. I might even name my daughter this.
