I like Helena and Marina in that order.
I don’t care for Ursula and why would you call your daughter a bear?

She'd be named after the saint, but I actually love the meaning "Little She-Bear"!

Marina and Helena are lovely. I prefer Marina as its a bit unusual. Ursula is just ugly.

I love Helena. Really dislike Marina and Ursula. I can't give a reason why

Marina is wonderful. Beautiful sound, unusual without being bizarre, easy to spell and pronounce, travels well internationally. Ursula is a name I feel I should like but I just can't warm to it. Helena is nice, but feels plainer in comparison.

I love Marina and Helena (your pronunciation).

In comparison I find Ursula a bit clunky.
