Julie, Nora, or Oona
LiesbetGuest ·
Help! A few more weeks and we'll be expecting our first daughter, but we just can't decide on a name. Currently, the list includes:
- Julie
- Nora
- Oona
Which name do you all like the most?

Are you Flemish? I think Oona is pretty normal in Flanders, but I (in the Netherlands) just can't get used to it. When I hear it pronounced oo-naa, I quickly think of grandma, and when it's oe-naa, I associate it with oen. (+ there's a sexual verb that starts with ona).
Julie pronounced in French, I guess?
Then I find Julie cheerful and Nora a bit more serious. Then I'd go for Julie. -

Haha yes, we are indeed Flemish
. We do indeed pronounce Julie in the French way.
Thanks for the response!
