Ula

[BeeKeeping]

Curious to know how most folk would pronounce this name? Also any first impressions?

This is how the Ulla I know says it.

It’s not the most beautiful name, I think Oona and Honor are a lot nicer

As DramaAlpaca says, úlla, pronounced as you pronounce Ula, is the Irish for apples OP.
I've linked the Irish meaning of ula, which would be pronounced differently. Some of those babyname sites aren't at all reliable - I really don't think it's an Irish name meaning sea jewel.

Thank you for all your comments.

Hmmm... I'm not too worried that it's not Irish. We have Irish heritage but both Scottish and living in Scotland.

Is celtic just a vague term that Americans use?! Surely name meanings are just the meaning that we've (someone's) given to a name? What comes up when you google it...

It seems now that Ula has come to mean 'sea jewel' whatever the actual origin?

Lots of old mumsnet threads have Ula mentioned when the OP has asked for sea themed girls names.

It seems it's quite marmite... but that hasn't put me off. Maybe that's a sign!

I would guess oo-la and think it's a boy's name. Ulla would be a girl's name like Ella.

it means apples in Irish.

I don't dislike it. Heard worse.
