Oona >> Una >> One

Just in case someone missed the writer's oh-so cleverness, Oona's name is the phonetic pronunciation of "one" in Spanish. I suppose the writer didn't think white people would get it, and I get the impression only white people would watch this movie.

Well her name is Irish. I grew up with plenty of girls with that name it can be spelt "Oona", "Oonagh" or "Una" depending on the person. I think it is just a coincidence that it sounds the same as the Spanish one.
