[Opinions] Oonagh / Oona / Una
Replies
I like Una best because it’s simple and sweet. Oona is okay too, although I don’t love the double O for reasons I can’t explain. I guess because it makes it look like an exclamation, like “boo!” Or “ooga-booga!” Yeah, I know it’s weird.
Oonagh reminds me of the word “queue”. So many letters to convey such a simple sound! I usually like traditions and vestigial reasons for spellings, but it’s an awful lot to take in in this case.

I like them all. I’m sorry so many people here don’t give traditional Irish names/spellings a chance.
The musician Alela Diane has the sweetest redhead girl named Oona. Suits her beautifully.
Using Oonagh, but all spellings for all combos possible and pleasant.
Oonagh Tamsin
Oonagh Frances
Oonagh Niamh
Oonagh Rachel
Oonagh Rosemary
Oonagh Brigid
Oonagh Margaret
Oonagh Cathleen or Caitlin or Catherine
Oonagh Violet
Oonagh Liadain
Oonagh Damaris
Oonagh Maeve
Oonagh Josephine
(Edit: I am just considering the double meaning for Oonagh Rachel. Either cool to have the language play of sorts, or distasteful to have two sheep-related names... honestly I think it’s kind of sweet and I’d probably occasionally call the kid lamb, as well as hoping they’d have an interest in languages.)

That's why I like Oonagh. It looks very different, almost otherworldly.
I love Oona. I love the double o, it's cute and whimsical and alien-sounding. It looks pretty alien too with the double o.
I went to school with an Oonagh Louise (born England in the late 90s)
I prefer Oonagh just because that's the spelling I'm accustomed to.

I love it. Oonagh is my preference
I've met a girl named Oona. The name works and has what I think is the desired effect ... it sounds cool and unusual but not stupid? haha. I prefer the Oona spelling. Una is a Spanish article and that distracts me; Oonagh looks like bleaugh and stuff like that to me, it doesn't need the gh to make it real.
Not a fan of the meaning but, whatever, I don't even care about that.
Oona Godiva
Oona Shannon
Oona Vivian
?
