Oona is currently my favourite female name. I see the Oo version as ethereal, delicate, fun, and a little defiant (after all, not very many names begin with Oo). I also like Una, but it gives off a different vibe, and its spelling reminds me of the game Uno and the Spanish article una.

My top girls' combo is Oona Christabel Fae.

Here are a few more suggestions:
Oona Beatrix
Oona Ceridwen
Oona Zephyrine
Oona Sylvaine
Oona Mireille
Oona Belphoebe
Oona Gwenaelle

Eek! This is supposed to be under the OP

I go back and forth. I used to like Una because it's simpler and Oona looks so unusual, but right now I think I like Oona better...
