Uma is a sweet, pretty name. I have a second cousin called Uma, and she has dark hair, which really suits the name, I think. Also, her little sister is called Shanti, another pretty, unique name. Here are some nice Uma combinations: • Uma Isabella • Uma Trinity • Uma Sage • Uma Elizabeth • Uma Ruby • Uma Lizzie.
This means "horse" in Japanese. There isn't anything wrong with horses but it's ridiculous on a person, it makes you think of someone who isn't attractive. I have many Japanese friends and they always laugh about the actress' name because it seems so ridiculous. It might work outside of Japan, but I really wouldn't use it.

I like the name Uma! It will always remind me of Uma Thurman.
I saw a film with the actress Uma Thurman and thought that it would be a nice name for a baby girl. Two years later I gave birth to a litte girl, which we named Uma Isabella.
