Nona makes me think of Winona, which is way too Ryder/Judd to be used on a 'real' person, I think. :b I do love Iona, though (as Arcadia suggested), and I can see using Nona/Nonie as a nn for it. Very nice.

I like Nola, but I often think of granola. lol. I like Finola (or Fionnuala, etc.) as a formal name with Nola as a nn better, though.

But my favorite of the three is Nora. I used to think it needed a 'longer' name but now I love just Nora. I liked Honora (even Annora) for a while, but I was afraid people would mispronounce it and call her "Ho, Nora" (or do so to tease her). But I overthink these things quite often, also. :)
