Ursula

[chezmk1988]

Thoughts?

[Coey2016]

I’m not a fan - little mermaid definitely springs to mind

[LynetteScavo]

Everyone I've met called Ursula has been lovely- but it's an ugly name. It sounds like ulcer.

[jusdepamplemousse]

Sea witch. Sorry, it’s just the immediate and pretty much only association. Shame as it might otherwise be ok, but it’s so strong a link it’d be tantamount to calling your kid Cruella or Scar

[Yogagirl123]

I like it, I have only known one Ursula, a German lady who was lovely.

[LegoLady95]

I like it. I think of Ursula Andress before anything else.

[Iggity]

It’s my sister’s name. I think it’s lovely. I’ve only come across it a couple of other times: my Irish dentist (we are Irish also) and a German work colleague.

[NannyR]

I find it a very ugly, clunky sounding name - "urr" is the sound kids make when they don't like something. Also the sea witch connection.

[GaraMedouar]

Don’t like at all.

[epicclusterfuck]

I think it is a really good strong name and will be refreshingly different as PP said to all the twee flowery girl's names that are popular right now! I think though it depends on your own preferences as people obviously love or hate it!

[Cosmoa]

Don't like it atall. Plus I just think of the horrible witch in A Little Mermaid and Pheobes horrible twin on friends!

[daisypond]

I love it. Little Mermaid would never occur to me. My immediate thought is the main character from DH Lawrence's The Rainbow and Women In Love. A name that will last a lifetime, and neither boring or cutesy.

[RavenWings]

Immediately thought of the sea witch. I like fact that it isn't cutesy, but I just couldn't use it based on that.

[HoratioNightboy]

I quite like it and have known two in the past, but they both pronounced it differently. One was UR-sull-a, and the other URS-yoo-la. I prefer the first, but not sure how common the second one is.

[GreatDuckCookery6211]

Very harsh sounding.

[DwangelaForever]

I think if you are German and live in Germany is a lovely name.

Not so much a very nice UK name.

[DwangelaForever]

I suppose it's ok if you're Irish too

[Hoppinggreen]

A German/English relative is called this and she hates it.
I imagine someone quite large and clumsy when I think of that name (like a bear)

[MrsMoastyToasty]

I don't mind it, although our city had a convent school called Saint Ursulas so that's what I associate the name with.

[NameChangeDestroyer]

I'm in the minority but I think it's lovely

[ChocolateCrunch]

I quite like it - I know one who also has the nn Sula.

[RainbowdropsandUnicorns]

I like it.

[SadSongsAndWaltzes]

I used to think if the sea witch (who has the best song in any Disney film!) but now I think of Ursula le Guin, the socialist/ feminist Sci Fi writer who recently died - a great association!

[Twinkie1]

Fat Sea Witch

[squoosh]

It's kind of haughty sounding but in a good way. I can imagine her growing up to be a Morticia Addams style goth.

[MammieBear]

Makes me think of the little mermaid, cute meaning though...
