My name is Nuala and I pronounce it Noola the first 'a' is silent - I get all variations of the spelling and pronunciation from people when they see/hear it for the first time. I have also been told it translates to Penelope in English - how true this is I don't know. I can't say I dislike the name, but I have only met about two other Nualas in my life and both were older than me (I'm 45 this year). I don't imagine it will ever be a popular name and while there is nothing fancy about it, it is nice not to have a common name.

I think it could also be pronounced NOO-la, since Fionnuala is pronounced fin-OO-la. But I don't speak Gaelic, so I could be wrong.
