I've fallen in love with this name, which bewilders me because I dislike most -ana names (especially Eliana, one of my least favorite names). I think the initial "oo" sound is what distinguishes it from the other -ana names, whose airiness I find grating and treacly. What do you all think? I also like the German variant Uljana, borne by really cool poet-translator Uljana Wolf.
