1. Which do you prefer out of Ona, Oona & Una?
~Ona is okay-ish, I think (can't really make up my mind). I like Oona, but the Una spelling isn't my style. It looks made up or something..I even know it's not, but I can't help the looks of it. *shrugs*
2. WDYT of Anya, Ayn & Anwen?
~I like Anya and Anwen is okay, but Ayn isn't my style.
3. WDYT of Henna and do you think it sounds too much like Hannah?
~Henna..type of temporary tattoo..hehe. They're everywhere here.

Seda: Has anyone seen the telephone?
Promise: *points to receiver* Maybe someone needs to find a way to attach it to this thing so it won't get lost.
Seda: *shakes head* Maybe we are becoming stupider with time.

1. Una, with Ona coming in a close second. Oona looks a little silly imo.
2. Love Anya and Anwen. Ayn is a bit strange, but it's alright.
3. I like Henna, and no, Hannah did not even come to mind until you mentioned it.

(1) My favorite way to spell the name is Oonagh, but Oona is nice also. And yes, I love this name.
(2) Definitely Anya. The others don't compare. They seem to have less history / meaning. I could be wrong; this is just my impression. If you are into Irish names like Oona, have you considered Aine? It has the same pronunciation as Anya.
(3) Henna? Isn't that a red hair dye? As overly used as Hannah is, it's much better than Henna.

1. Which do you prefer out of Ona, Oona & Una?
- I like Una because it's Gaelic, usually a form of Agnes. I like the sound and I have seen it spelled Oona & Oonagh! I perfer Una though. The double Os look dredful in my opinion.
2. WDYT of Anya, Ayn & Anwen?
- These are very pretty! I think I like Anya better but I'd spell it in the Gaelic Aine but it's pronounced the same. Anwen is pretty too! I'm not fond of Ayn though.
3. WDYT of Henna and do you think it sounds too much like Hannah?
- Henna does sort of sound like Hannah but not that much. I don't like it because it reminds me of a hen or something Austrailian, I don't know.

1. I like Una best.
2. I like Anya best, Anwen would be No. 2. I don't even know how to pronounce Ayn, and if I pronounce it as seems most natural (Eye-n), it does not sound pretty.
3. There is a type of hair-colouring which is called henna. So I don't like Henna. But Henny would be fine. I think Henny originally is a short form of Henriette or Henrietta, but I think Henny can stand alone as formal name too.

1. Ona, because the other two remind me of a dumb person, the sound OON is a name for a dumb person in Dutch, so to me Una / Oona would be like naming your child female dumb person
2. I think Anwen is a lovely name and the best out of the three
3. Isn't that the stuff they use to paint on bodies in religious ceremonies? i think it sounds exactly the same as Hannah, but that wouldn't bother me if I wanted to use it.
Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimmingpool
