What do you think of the name Oona? I imagine a lot of people will prefer the spelling Una, which is actually a family name for me (though she pronounced it you-na) but I just love the spelling Oona

I know a few Oonaghs but Oona looks incomplete. Almost like Iona spelt wrong. I am based in Scotland if that makes a difference. Pretty sounding name though.

My friend is Oonagh. Irish way.

I love it, there's a character in puffin rock (an animated children's show narrated by Chris O'Dowd) called Oona and I always thought it was beautiful.

To me Una is a different name pronounced You-nah. Oona looks odd. Surely the spelling is Oonagh?

Decent name.

Double O looks weird imo. Una is ok, seems a bit dated to me...but much nicer than Oona.

Don’t like it. The double O looks weird to me
