Friend's baby girl has this unusual name. Anyone know another?

Um, no!

Very common name in India. Its a name of the Mother Goddess in Hindu mythology, so quite a spiritual name....

No, but it makes me think of Ouma which is Grandmother in Afrikaans.

Just something to think about!

Uma Thurman?

I assumed it was skandanavian (isn't Uma Thurman of skandinavian descent?). It's a harsh sounding name OO MA.

I really like it by the way, and Una.

I think of it as been a bit of a rich hippy name probably because Zac Goldsmith has a daughter called this!

I quite like it, though I prefer Una.

I don't like it. It makes me think of elephants. I don't know why.

moomins, I think Uma Thurman's mother is Swedish, but her name is not - she was called Uma because of her father, who is a Buddhist scholar.

Gorgeous name, didn't know about the Hindu mother goddess connection but that makes me love it even more, big fan of Mia also.

Like it! it's lovely:)

Doesn't sound very unusual to me because of Uma Thurman. If we have a DD her middle name will be Una.
