Uma?

[sibbys]

DD1 is Molly. We really like Penny for DD2, but now we're talking about Uma. What do you think? (I know, I know, Uma Thurman)

How is it pronounced- Ooma or Uhma?

I don't like it sorry. Id say Una or Oogna is much nicer.

Oogna? Where does the G come from?

Penny is lovely, btw

Oogna is much nicer?

Oonagh maybe...

We could use the same argument for Isla Where does S come from.

I'm not keen. I like Penny

If you mean the alternative spelling of Úna it's Oonagh rather than Oogna.

I do actually prefer Úna to Uma, I associate Uma with Thurman too much

Uma, Una, Oonagh, all ugly sounding names to me personally - but it's your baby and one person's taste won't be another's! Congratulations ☺

How is it pronounced? You-mah or Ooh-mah? Or maybe Umma?

I'm go with Uma. It's unusual and sounds better with Molly. Penny/Molly have a very similar pattern.

How come people don’t know how it’s pronounced? Have you not heard of Uma Thurman? I’m not wildly keen on it, though.

I like Una, not sure about Uma.

Uma is too close in sound to Oma, the Dutch for Granny, for me to be very keen on it.

Penny is much nicer. Great choice

Penny is much nicer.

It's awful imo

Penny is a nice name!

I don't like it.
I do like Penny but I think it's v v v similar to Molly so not sure I'd choose that either.

Uma is also the name of a baddie in the Descendants films, if that makes a difference to you OP! I don't like the sound of the name at all, sorry. Penny is much nicer.

I don't think Penny's similar to Molly and is a much nicer name than Uma.

The only Uma I have known personally was of Indian descent.

My friend has a DD called Uma, her Sri Lankan grandfather chose her name. I like it.

I like both Uma and Una they are lovely with Molly much more unexpected than Penny.

Makes me think 'granny' too but my SIL is SA.
