Has anyone every heard this name??

[whirliebird]

Has anyone ever heard the girls name 'Runa' before? I really like it. I believe it's Norwegian and means 'secret, flowing' I'm thinking this or something similar if baby is a girl. Anyone have any opinions/other suggestions? X

Yes. I know a Runa. Lovely name.

Never heard of it but it doesn't sound made up. I would imagine someone called runa to have a good story behind their name.

Never heard of it but it's a lovely sound.

Never heard it, but it's lovely.

Never heard it before, if it helps I'd pronounce it Roona not Runner, not sure which its meant to be :)

Heard it a long time ago. Love it.

I've not heard of it before but I do like it.

Yes Midnight it's pronounced Roo-na

Thank you everyone. It's top of my list...for now! Only 5wks till I'm due so really have to get organised with names, we keep changing our minds

I like it.

It immediately reminded me of rune stones, it's probably not related but I suppose rune isn't heard often so some will make the link. (Not a bad thing in my opinion, but worth flagging in case you dislike the association)

Thank you Curls Rune is apparently the masculine form of Runa.

I know a Ruta? I like it.

It's lovely

Yes, taught a lovely girl with this name and a cute surname to match!

I've heard of it. It's lovely. I also like Rune for a boy.

I've never heard of it but I like it.

I know a Rhuna. Both are lovely names.

I know a little one, she gets Ru for short. I think it's lovely.

Gosh, so many positive comments. Thank you

Yes. It's not bad.

I've heard it, it's lovely.

I knew a Rune (male, Danish), but wasn't aware of a female version.
I don't love it - but roo-roo/noo-noo could be quite cute nns when she's little

I know a Rune who's a male Norwigan. Not heard the female version but it's nice.

Ha ha, almost tempted to add Rune to my boys list now

I know a Runa with a Bengali heritage. Lovely name.
