Oh, ONERS has appeared occasionally, most recently 2014 (NYT). I rather imagine that was its last appearance, ever.

ONETO is an Italian and/or Spanish name that is shared by quite a few people, but none famous enough to be in an American crossword puzzle, IMO.

I don't recall seeing dupes of NO in a puzzle; you might get away with that, but I'd avoid it if possible. It is capitalized in titles, and unlike those other words, it's not an auxiliary word but has a specific meaning that is lost if it's left out.

I wouldn't try duping NOR unless it was theme related FISH NOR FOUL, HIDE NOR HAIR.

Thanks, Mark--

My problem is the cross for the "o" in "ppop" (music genre). I'm wondering if I can, instead cross "PPAP" (a music single that
went viral with 200 million hits and the shortest single to make the Billboard Hot 100; it has its own Wikipedia entry) with
"Aneta" for "Aneta Corsaut" (Helen Crump from "The Andy Griffith Show). This is a 21 X 21 with nothing else "too weird about it."
