Thoughts on Una?I know it is pronounced OO-na, but I've heard people say YOU-na as well. Does anyone know if this is a genuine pronunciation (if such a thing exists)? Do you have a preference?Here are some combinations I've been thinking about. Opinions/suggestions are very welcome :)Una Antoinette
Una Arianne
Una Charlotte
Una Clothilde
Una Edwige
Una Fabienne
Una Fidelia
Una Gudrun - I understand the sound is too repetitive but I find this really visually appealing.
Una Konstantina
Una Maeve
Una Morag
Una Rosaline
Una Sophie
Una Sibylla
Una Violet

Una Violet is my favorite on the list.I've seen it being spelled as Unna, but that was only on a killer whale.

I love the name Una (oo-na) so much, don't really dig the you-na pronunciation. I love Una Antoinette. Actually if I used Una the mn would definitely be Antoinette because that is the only middle name I am really stuck on if I ever have a daughter! The only other combos I like on your list are Una Maeve, Una Rosaline , and Una Violet.

I pronounce it the same as Oona, and I prefer that spelling. It's a kooky name, but it reminds me of Charlie Chaplin. I give it a pass.I like Una Charlotte and Una Maeve.
