Oonagh or Méabh?

[Bobojangles]

Which do you prefer?

Méabh....although I much prefer it spelt Maebh

Méabh

Prefer the second name but spelt Maeve. Beautiful name!

Neither but at a push Maeve.

Úna

Nobody will be able to spell Meabh!

My niece is medbh and has had this all her life. Lovely name, but be prepared.

Meabh (or Meadhbh)

Love both!

Oonagh is okay, but Meabh is just gorgeous imo (but if you aren't living in Rep of Ireland or N. Ireland, I'd spell it Maeve as she could find it annoying to always have to spell her name).

Oonagh.

I don't understand why Meabh has become so popular, it sounds unfinished to me. Like it's short for Mavis or something.

Love Oona, spelt like that. Seriously underused,

Don’t like Maeve, reminds me of mauve I think. But if I was going to use it I’d spell it like this unless I lived in Ireland, otherwise it’ll just be a pain for her.

Oh god don’t call your kid Meeb.

Maeve, that spelling for preference.

You've got a traditional spelling of Méabh there, but an anglicised version of Úna.

Úna is way nicer than Oonagh, but it's dated in Ireland. All the ones I know are in their 50s.

I don't like the Oonagh or Oona spellings. The "Ooooo" written down makes me think of Kenneth Williams. Una is the better option if you like the sound of the name.

Meabh/Maebh is fine. Bit meh. I know of quite a few in their teens so I've maybe just heard it too much.

Oonagh was always top on my list if I’d ever had a girl

Maeve (spelt like this if outside Ireland).

Oonagh looks odd. I too thought it was Una. Which I would consider fine but nothing special.

Is it ooooonarrr ?
The other is such a tricky spelling shell have years of it being spent and pronounced wrong

Came on to find out how to pronounce the second name! Maeve is lovely, I had no idea about this Irish name/spelling. I like both names.

Love Méabh and Úna / Oona. Not a fan of extra GH spellings, myself.

Would not know how to say either of them.

I love Oonagh.

YY to if you're outside Ireland then she will spend her life spelling / correcting pronunciation of her name.

Maeve

Have no idea how to pronounce Meabh but odds on it's nicer than Oonagh, which I think is less a name and more a random collection of sounds....

Una makes me think of Una Stubbs which was pronounced "You-na", not "Oo-na" which is what would happen if you used Úna I think.
