I love it

Kelerina · 15/11/2012 16:24

LOVE it! I am having a boy so can't use it but to be honest DP would never have let me use it anyway, sigh.....

Bumpstart · 15/11/2012 19:39

Lizzylou · 15/11/2012 19:44

I have an Aunty Ursula. She's cool and her name really suits her

Geranium3 · 15/11/2012 19:50

oh don't! sounds very 60's/70,s in a grotty way!

Viviennemary · 15/11/2012 19:50

Hmm. Not sure. It's quite unusual. On the whole though, probably not.

PrannyHamster · 15/11/2012 20:22

I like it, it has a lovely sweeping sound and is very dignified and elegant! (And I'm saying that as someone who grew up watching the Little Mermaid).

Beamur · 15/11/2012 20:24

I love it and was seriously tempted to use it, but didn't in the end - I wasn't that keen on the nn for it and thought it was a bit long to use every day. Love the way it sounds though, I think it's an elegant and sophisticated name.

TempusFuckit · 15/11/2012 20:30

It's the kind of name I usually like, but just can't get past the fact it was Phoebe's pornstar twin sister's name in Friends. Sorry.

Alisvolatpropiis · 15/11/2012 20:36

I like it!

Binkybix · 15/11/2012 21:47

I really like it, but DH has vetoed it from our list. That doesn't mean I've taken it off though!

almapudden · 15/11/2012 21:54

It's my mum's name. I used to hate it but now I think it's lovely - unusual but not too weird, strong and with a great meaning (little she-bear).

mimmymouse · 15/11/2012 21:58

Love it! Had DD2 shown up vaguely on time, she'd have been Ursula.

MerylStrop · 15/11/2012 22:03

I love it. Nickname Sula

lemontruffles · 15/11/2012 22:06

Love love Ursula, so elegant - would have used it myself but it didn't go with our surname. Lovely name Smile

stinkinseamonkey · 15/11/2012 22:07

"unusual but not too weird"
that

InkleWinkle · 15/11/2012 22:26

Ursula Buffay Grin

That's all it reminds me of.

Porn star.

persephoneplum · 16/11/2012 12:41

I adore Ursula - it was our girl name for this baby but he's a third boy :) It is unusual, string and elegant and ours would have been named for Ursula Le Guin (and hubby sure didn't mind the Ursula Andress link either, hehehe).

persephoneplum · 16/11/2012 12:42

Strong not string!

MildredIsMyAlterEgo · 16/11/2012 12:45

It's a lovely name. Go for it.

Mildred is also a nice alternative Wink

attheendoftheday · 16/11/2012 19:40

I like it, it's on my list for dd2.

hiviolet · 16/11/2012 20:56

I really love uncommon names but have always thought Ursula looks ugly written down and sounds ugly too. Sorry!
