To me, "Unna" would have a different pronunciation, like with a short u sound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-which-spelling#post-2027568 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 14:21:18 +0000 MamaCate 2027568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted Oona like Finn Maccool's wife in the old Irish fairy tales. </p> <p>To me, "una" means "one" in spanish, like "una cerveza", and thus is an article, not a name. I speak spanish so that is immediately where my mind went, but if you don't live in a place with a lot of spanish speakers, it may be less of a consideration. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-which-spelling#post-2027561 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 14:17:55 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 2027561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How is it pronounced?<br /> ooo-na (like in the ghost sound "boo")<br /> you-na<br /> un-na (like in undo)<br /> oh-na </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-which-spelling#post-2027548 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 14:10:13 +0000 psw27 2027548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Unna, I think it lends itself to the easiest phonetic pronunciation. I can see people mangling Oona into like Oh-ona. They are all cute though :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-which-spelling#post-2027541 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 14:07:24 +0000 Skadi 2027541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfYBKDyF-Dk" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfYBKDyF-Dk</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-which-spelling#post-2027477 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 13:38:04 +0000 Anya 2027477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: it's a fantasy novel/movie (the movie is better) and one of the characters is named Una- the one daughter. The seven sons are named Primus, Secundus, etc.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-which-spelling#post-2027462 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 13:29:11 +0000 littlejoy 2027462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's funny that no one voted "Unna". I'm a graphic designer, and one of my favorite fonts is "Unna", ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-which-spelling#post-2027460 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 13:28:33 +0000 littlejoy 2027460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBananaGrabber: @rachiecakes: I know! I would love that. Also (this is embarrassing), there was a little girl on the most recent season of Master Chef Junior named "Oona".

Not even close. :wink: We do have a name picked for our next LO if it's a girl. Curious what you think about spelling. Our 1st LO's name is similar (and is 4 letters). This one would have a 3 letter middle name. </p>
