Re: Uma or Una?

I don't like either. Uma makes me think of the Jpns. word for horse and Una makes me think of the fem. indef. article in Span. Thus, neither really appeals to me as a name.

I forgot that about Una! Uma means horse? A bit of a set-back there, but I still like it.

Well, you can use it if you won't be living in Jpns. circles... though just in case she winds up in Jpn. at some point as an adult (for a job maybe), a mn that doesn't have a funny meaning in Jpns. would be good to fall back on.
