I love the meaning of this name and the fact that it’s the name of my special saint.
Any thoughts?

Terrifying octopus villain 😩😩😩😩

Sea witch
Basketofkittens · 21/10/2019 21:58
Noooooo she’s a beautiful saint and it also means little she bear - thanks to Poldark for that one!

I love it and still wish we'd used it for dd2, but was vetoed by dh. It would have suited her perfectly too!

Fat purple sea witch
RaspberryBubblegum · 21/10/2019 22:02
Your child will be a sea witch to everyone else sorry. Little mermaid is too popular for people not to make that connection 😅
RosaRi · 21/10/2019 22:03
I’m sorry but little mermaid really puts me off
EmmaGrundyForPM · 21/10/2019 22:04
I think it's a beautiful name.
I've not seen the Little Mermaid film.though
Collision · 21/10/2019 22:04
Sea Witch 🧙♀️ for me too......
HopefulFor2020 · 21/10/2019 22:06
I don't have any strong feelings about the name either way, it definitely has Little Mermaid connections for me though. Isn't the live action version coming out next year as well? Could be pretty bad timing
SadSongsAndWaltzes · 21/10/2019 22:06
Also, she may be a fat purple sea witch but she has the best song in all of Disney 
It's a great name op imo.
bridgetreilly · 21/10/2019 22:08
Yes, lovely.
spice3 · 21/10/2019 22:24
Just reminds me of FRIENDS - I didn't know about any other associations.
It's not my style of name, I don't really like it, but I don't think it's awful!
Zampa · 21/10/2019 22:26
I LOVE IT ♥️
peppinanna · 21/10/2019 22:26
Little mermaid or George is the jungle.
I don't think it's a particularly nice name to say either.
LadyGAgain · 21/10/2019 22:27
Fat ugly sea witch. Sorry! The meaning you describe is beautiful but it doesn't roll off the tongue and sounds rather cumbersome.
Floralnomad · 21/10/2019 22:28
It is our guinea pigs name , I really like it .
Whoops75 · 21/10/2019 22:29
Awful name and definitely not due a comeback.
PantTwizzler · 21/10/2019 22:29
I think it’s such a sweet name, but some people pronounce it “Ur-soo-la” instead of “Ur-syoo-la” which would annoy me.
DramaAlpaca · 22/10/2019 02:03
It's an ugly name, and I can't see what's nice about the meaning, 'she bear', at all 
FunOnTheBeach20 · 22/10/2019 02:05
Terrible.
MrsBertBibby · 22/10/2019 07:05
Love it.
Ursula Le Guin!
Clangus00 · 22/10/2019 07:25
Nope. It’s either Phoebe’s not nice sister or evil, purple sea witch from The little mermaid.
SometimesItRains · 22/10/2019 07:33
I’m afraid it reminds me of ulcer
Morado · 22/10/2019 07:59
Yeah sea witch and Phoebe's mean sister.
Also it reminds me of the anagram 'sula' meaning 'sweaty upper lip alert' 🤣
