If you like this name, which spelling do you prefer?

We both love the sound of the name but disagree on the spelling. Happily dh is okay for me to ultimately get the spelling I want as he says I've done all the hard work... but I'm interested in opinion.

Baby will have part Irish heritage and the surname is double barrelled English name-Irish name, if that makes a difference.

I much prefer Una.
Oonagh seems really old fashioned to my eye and not nice written down.
I've never heard Una pronounced as Yuna either.

I know what you mean OP. When I got married I swapped an Irish surname for an English one that is also a regular noun. And yet I still have to spell it out Grin sometimes you can’t win!
