Mia or Una

[Liliahgreen7]

Got down to two names with both of us with a preference for a different one but we like both.

What one do you prefer?

Oonagh

Mia

Mia by a mile

Mia

Mia

How would you pronounce Una? Ooo-na or You-na? How much will it irritate you if someone pronounces it the other way?

Mia (Mee-a or My-a?) isn’t as interesting as Una

Mia. Una's so ugly to my ears!

Mia.

Mee-a
Una would be pronounced oo-na

Mia to me is Missing In Action. And it can be pronounced Mee - ya or My - a I love Oona. (BTW my daughter is Maya - pronounced My - A)

This was asked before a couple of weeks ago. I said Una. From Irish legend. She was Finn MacCool's very smart wife. Lovely, lovely name. I've known a few Una's.

Una (pronounced oo-na)

Mia

I like Una, but Mia is pretty too, if a little like Miaow!!

Mia.

Mika

I think I prefer Mia but your thread reminded me of this fab portrait of Una Vincenzo, Lady Troubridge

Una, it's a little different to Maya, Mya, Mia and various combinations of it.

Another couple to consider are Fraya and Flora

They're both such nothingy names.

Mia

@EishetChayil

They're both such nothingy names.

What an unnecessarily rude comment. The OP asked which name people preferred, not to have her choices slated.

Mia

Really dislike Una and hate the two ways of saying it.

Mia is ok but not to my taste and too popular

Personally I like Mia.

It feels popular without being popular.

However, I have a personal bias against the name Una. When we were little that was our local librarian's name and she was HORRIBLE! In itself it's gorgeous.
