Runa...

[whirliebird]

Thoughts please on this name. I've just come across it and thought it was rather nice. Unusual but easy to say/spell?

For a girl? How do you say it? Is it roona or runner?

I don't like it - "rue".

It's lovely. Means Mighty Strength apparently.

I don't like it either.

It means secret/flowing.
I assumed it was pronounced 'Roo-na'?
It's Norwegian so I appreciate its not to everyone's taste. I just thought it was a nice name for a girl. X

I know two Norwegian people called Rune (pronounced Runa). They're both men.

Yes, Rune is the male equivalent :-)

I sort of like it, but it's going to get auto-corrected to Luna a lot

I have a Luna, we met a Runa whilst out one day. It's a bit of a strange one. You'll forever be correcting people/spelling it.

I like it, I used to know a girl at school with that name she was an absolute sweetheart. So I associate it with a lovely old school friend.

I quite like it. There are other 'unusual' Nordic names I prefer, but it's really nice :)!!

Yes, it is pronounced Roo-nah, but with a "rolling" R (roughly like Scottish people pronounce the r)

Rune is pronounced differently, but it is difficult for English speakers to hear the difference (for Norwegians there is a clear difference).

Runa is a quite rare name in Norway, the male equivalent is more common.

I really like it, never heard it before but it's nice.

I like it!

I really like it.

It's nice.

Grew up next door to a Runa and she is Indian Hindu.

I think it's lovely

I quite like it. Different in a good way.

And pronunciation seemed obvious to me from the spelling.

beautiful unique name x

I know a little Runa and I think it's lovely. Unusual but perfectly sensible and intuitive.
