Una over Mia!

Mia Rose

Pinto33 · 10/01/2022 02:39

Ooh I really like Una Violet!

KloppsTeeth · 10/01/2022 03:08

Una is a beautiful name.

JeeezLouise · 10/01/2022 03:13

Una Violet and Mia Rose are both nice. I think some countries say “Oonah” and some “Younah” would that be an issue?

Nanny67 · 10/01/2022 03:43

I'm a Una!! People always compliment me on my name too ☺️

thunderandsunshine01 · 10/01/2022 03:50

Una is lovely, Una Violet gets my vote.

Mia Violet

TheFoz · 10/01/2022 05:03

Are you Irish? Una spelled that way is in the Irish language.

user97426 · 10/01/2022 05:06

Mia - una wouldn't be very popular in Ireland for a baby most unas are 50+

I like mia but its likely to be more popular qnd i like something a bit different and unique so una gets my vote as others said its a beautiful name. Una rose for me violet just doesnt quite sound right, i think its the v, it suddenly sounds a bit harsh when it rolls off the tongue if you get me? Violet is also lovely as a first name. Or Viola rose

KiloWhat · 10/01/2022 06:32

I don't really like Rose as a middle name. Unless it's after a relative or something like that I'd avoid it .

I prefer Una

Saltypeppa · 10/01/2022 09:07

Una Violet. Una is on our list too!

Pamlar · 10/01/2022 09:08

Mia Violet

Una. Mia is overused and has been around for quite a long time, and there are many similar names like Maya, Nia, Leah, Mila

Rose is a filler middle name. Pretty but dull.

GunsNShips · 10/01/2022 09:14

Mia Rose is pretty but very popular and a bit samey with other names.

Una Violet is pretty and stand alone

ISmellBurnings · 10/01/2022 10:50

Mia Rose is so popular, Rose is just a filler name given to almost every girl. It’s dull.

Probably go with Mia over Una but the popularity would put me off.

Kokeshi123 · 10/01/2022 12:52

They're both nice enough. Una is more unusual--there are so many names that sound a bit like Mia.

LavenderRosemary · 10/01/2022 13:13

Una Violet is lovely.

SallyWD · 10/01/2022 13:23

I prefer Una. I know so many little Mias.

irishfarmer · 10/01/2022 14:49

I like Una

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 10/01/2022 15:00

I know loads of Unas over the age of 40 and loads of Mias under the age of 10. If I had to be called one of these two names I'd probably go for Mia.

Una Violet sounds like a scientific term for the colour spectrum.

Una Rose is nicer, but Rose is the Louise/Jane/Marie of its era.
