What do you think about

- Ursula Constance

or

- Ursula Ivy. (I'm a bit worried about the two names merging into one ...)

Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

Rose?

Constance is my favourite out of the two.

Mae?

Constance is better stylistically.

agree Constance works best - am assuming these are grandmothers' names...?

OR Ursula Beth/Nell/Cate?

Yep - both family names.

Thanks for all the comments.

Constance is my preference.
Or what about Ursula Elisabeth?

I like Elisabeth a lot, but don't you get the same problem as you face with Ivy (i.e. the 2 names merging into one?) Although I guess that people just aren't going to use the entire name in one breath very often ...

I see what you mean but personally don't think it merges as much as some names and with a name ending in 'a', you'd have to avoid any middle names beginning with vowels to avoid merging completely....

So lovely to see someone using Ursula!

I like Ursula Ivy. It's very spunky

Ooh, Ursula is top of my shortlist! (Unfortunately having trouble persuading dh of its merits...)
Of your 2 options I much prefer the combination Ursula Constance (Constance being top of dh's shortlist!), although I do love the name Ivy.
Other ones on my list are:
Ursula Beatrix
Ursula Mabel
Ursula Joy

I like Ursula Ivy, too.

Mae and Rose just sound like obligatory add-ons.

Out of those, Constance. For my suggestion, I like Jean as a middle name, it just sounds nice.

My friend has an Ursula Veronica

I would either go with a one syllable or a 3 syllable name - sounds more musical. I would also avoid anything ending in a 'ah' sound as I know an Ursula Eleanor and think it sounds horrid!

dah-dah-dah DUM eg. Ursula Jane
dah-dah-dah dah-dah-dah eg. Ursula Harriet

Of those two though I prefer Constance because the C give a good break between the two names.

Constance.

ursula Rose

Don't like Ursula Ivy at all, at all.

Ursula Constance is much better. Constance is lovely
