Ursula

What do you think?

Also what do you think of Agatha?

Love both of them! Ursula is my favourite though. I have only met one.

I think Ursula is due a revival. It's old fashioned and pretty.

My midwife was called Ursula when I has my DD. It's a beautiful name but I think Disney have spoilt it by giving it to a 'baddie'

aahhh, little bear! Very sweet. Not sure about Agatha though.

when i hear ursula i think of phoebes twin in friends

Reminds me of the giant purple monstrosity from The Little Mermaid, sorry! Even without that association I don't think it's a very nice sounding name. Don't like Agatha either, people will shorten to 'Aggie'

really like both of them, slightly prefer Ursula..not seen little mermaid though....

Yes don't worry - my other child has a (beautiful) name which is shared by a ridiculous character from the TV, so they'd have that in common!

I don't think they're very nice sounding names

Dh really wanted DD2 to be Ursula, I vetoed on the basis of The Little Mermaid. She is now 6 and very glad that we didn't name her after a Disney villain! Other than that, I like the name and Agatha too.

both of them are fab names, way overdue a revival.
I do prefer Agata though , like the Polish way.

The sea witch? I'm not a fan.

I'm not keen on Agatha either really. I do like Agnes though.

Nice German nickname Uschi (rhymes with bushy)

Like them both. Ursula is probably my favourite. If you had to avoid every negative association it would be impossible to name a child!

Also if anyone can think of other names along these lines I'd be interested to hear them!

I don't like either.

I especially don't like ursula- I think it's important to consider the sea witch thing. Little mermaid continues to be popular 25 yrs on and there is a strong negative association with the name ursula.

Ursula is a name I feel I should like but don't actually like. It sounds a bit vinegary.

With Agatha I don't even feel I should like it, it's awful.

I like it

I love both of them!

Well think about how it'll be abbreviated by her friends at school "Erse" or something like that, doesn't sound nice even without the negative Little Mermaid thing.

I am really quite enjoying how divided people are!

was it Agatha or Ursula who became a saint after having her breasts cut off? ....goes off to google...

I don't like it. It is hard to say. I knew a German ursula once and she had a nice nickname though - Ushi.

Ursula is lovely. It means 'little bear' which is just so cute.
