Sona is the paring of Nona and Sam (S/am and N/ona). They are shown to be good friends. Another name for the pairing is Nam (N/ona and S/am), but the term is rarely used. Because of a large age gap, this pairing is for friendship speculation only.

See Jennette and Maree for the real-life pairing of Jennette McCurdy and Maree Cheatham, the actresses who portray Sam Puckett and Nona, respectively.
