Ooh, That's cool. It's a nice combination of butch and fancy. Even though it's a flower name it still names me think of brown bears. (Ursa Brunonia? Ursula Brunonia?)

I think Bruna is cute, but I wouldn't use it because I think it's too unfamiliar and would be perceived as odd where I live. I find Brunonia to be a mouthful, just really cumbersome and not really appealing. I imagine a story where a tomboyish princess who always goes by a nickname escapes from her castle to live among the common people. At the end of the story her buffoonish parents hunt her down and call her by her real name, Brunonia, much to her consternation and the amusement of her friends.

I am a huge fan of the name (or short-name) Bruna: I also love names with longer formations that would allow the bearer as many shorter variables as possibly conceivable - so either Brunona or Brunonia receives applaudable merits and tiered ovations (Brava! Brava!!).

So, in short - yeah, I'd use it.

Hi !!!

Brunona seems rude and vulgar while Brunonia seems too elaborated and complex, nearly cutesy.

I also dislike Bruna but it is better than these two though.

To me, I'm not much of a fan of names that contain Bruno-. I feel that the 'bru' sound at the beginning may have turned me off of them and this goes for the names you mentioned.
