Pick one out of the three...

[persephoneplum]

Paloma, Ivy or Ursula

Which do you like best?

I'm sorry, I don't like any of them. Just my opinion like...

Ursula... Fave by far; means little bear which is our NN for DD

I came across a little Ursulina last week and I though that was lovely too.

Love Ursula- little bear. Love Paloma, dove of peace. Ivy is OK -dare I say it is growing on me?

seeker - you think I don't know about the freaking seawitch? Ursula has been a favourite name of mine for 17 years. Believe me, I've heard it all!
When someone has a shortlist of three, they've pretty much decided on those names and the only question remains is which one.

Thanks for the feedback everyone :) There has been some very helpful info here - appreciated :)

Ivy

Ursula. I don't like Paloma (makes me think of horses, because of palomino I think) or Ivy.

Ivy

Ivy closely followed by Paloma. Ursula still reminds me of Phoebe's evil twin in Friends, sorry!

Ivy, lovely name

most adults wont harp on about the name being the name of a sea witch, but children are cruel and will tease.

personally I don't care because im not the one who wants to name my kids such a stupid name. so knock yourself out OP!

Paloma 1st
Ursula 2nd

Ivy only if you really must. I don't hate it but I don't love it and I think it will become very, very common. (in the over-used sense.)

Paloma. Can't hear Ivy without thinking of Ivy Tilsly (ancient emoticon) and was never really fond of Ursula. Paloma is a bit now though.

also don't think Felix and Ursula go.

how about Felix and Gocat?

OP I'd ignore some of the feeling on here which seems to be getting a bit heated! Names really are so personal aren't they?!

Paloma and Ursula are both lovely. Elegant, graceful and not heard too often. Hard to pick between the two, shame they don't found perfect as first and middle name together! Although not un-doable. Ivy would work as a middle name if you don't have that sorted already?

I like Ursula best. Ivy has grown on me through reading the thread. Least keen on Paloma.

I love Ursula , one of my favourite names.

Isn't she a character in DH Lawrence women in love? With a sister Gudrun.

I LOVE Ursula, I have it on my list......but i'm thinking I may not get it past DP, 2nd favourite is Paloma, really lovely name but not sure if it will soar in popularity due to Paloma Faith, Ivy is my least favourite

Ursula is my favourite by a mile.

Paloma is may be faddy. If you're Spanish it would seem a more authentic choice. Although I've known people with a variety of names, I've never known an Ivy in reality so can't give you a reliable frame of reference.

i like ursula the best.

Ivy is my favourite, at a push, though I'm really not keen on any.

Ursula is my least favourite, but I won't say why, given your previous posts.

Paloma (-:

Ivy

Ivy ok.

The others are IMO awful.

You do seem a tad sensitive. I never really get why anyone wants opinions from a load of strangers.
