We are thinking of calling our number two girl Sula. It’s the name of a little Scottish Hebridean island and we love the Hebrides. And also means “peace little she bear” in Hebrew which I think is kind of cute too. Opinions please! Any downfalls I’ve not thought of?

Sula bassana used to be the Latin name for gannet. Also old Norse for gannet. However I doubt many people will know that and anyway I like gannets. Lovely name.

Hello, did you go with the name Sula,
I get the bing thing but for that yes you can blame me, I put it to the lady asking for name of characters of a children’s program. Iv grown up with the name Sula always getting good feedback about my name, how ever when I was at school there were the odd children that would call me Zula warrior, even now the in-laws can’t say it right lol

Sweaty Upper Lip Area.

Yes, really like it - although I'd almost certainly have Ursula on the bc with Sula as the nn, just because that's two fab names for the price of one!

I also think of sweaty upper lip, I expect that's regional but I think there are far nicer names to choose from.

Love it! For Scottish island names I also love Vaila and Shuna.

I know a Sula. Her birth certificate name is Ursula but she has always been called Sula.
