Not pregnant. Not even close.
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.

I like Una.
The spelling Oona is a Bubble Guppies character.

@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". She was ADORABLE!

I think it's funny that no one voted "Unna". I'm a graphic designer, and one of my favorite fonts is "Unna", ha.

@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..

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

How is it pronounced?
ooo-na (like in the ghost sound "boo")
you-na
un-na (like in undo)
oh-na

I voted Oona like Finn Maccool's wife in the old Irish fairy tales.
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.

I like Una, like Una Merkel. To me, "Unna" would have a different pronunciation, like with a short u sound.
