Girls names a choice between Rosanna or Ursula

[Aliway]

One is a family name that dh really likes I am not too sure but would like to gauge opinion on these names - thanks everyone (smile)

Rosanna is far nicer than Ursula. Could be shortened to Rosie or Anna.

Ursula is quite an ugly name IMO (sorry).

Prefer Rosanna from the two you mentioned

Don't like Ursula, reminds me of a nun.

Agree with slidge - rosanna has more 'options'
Can't say I'm wild about either of them

I like Rosanna best.

Rosanna better but neither very good IMHO.

I love Rosanna

I quite like Ursula actually, don't much like Rosanna.

I like the meaning of Ursula.

It's 'bear' isn't it, or to do with bears?

I adore Rosanna - would have called mine that if dp would agree . Have you seen the movie "For Rosanna" - very nice.

i know someone called Roseanna

This is for rosanna, sweet girl of mine,
A song for the baby who changed my life,
Ill never forget when I saw you first,
I thought that my heart would burst,
With the love that I have.

As I watch you sleeping in here tonight,
And I hear your breathing so soft and light,
I cannot believe all the things that I feel,
When I hold you next to me,
Its the love that I have.

Oh how my heart it is shining,
Oh how my heart it is shining,
Oh how my heart is shining through,
With the love that I have.

And as you are growing from baby to child,
I share the wonders that are in your eyes,
And I am amazed at the way you change,
All according to the plan,
And the love that I have.

And when you are older you will go away,
Youll see injustice and youll see pain,
But never forget that Im always there,
Like a shadow by your side,
With the love that I have.

Oh my love, you have your mothers eyes,
And when I see you laugh, you have your mothers smile,
And you are mine all of my life,
You are mine, all of my love,
You are mine, blood of my blood,
You are mine.

Oh how my heart it is shining,
Oh how my heart it is shining,
Oh how my heart it is shining through,
With the love that I have.

It's little bear but why do you like the name having soemthing to do with bears if you don't mind me asking? (Not really getting it emoticon).

I just find Ursula sounds a bit severe and head-nurse to me. I know a lovely woman with this name actually but I always felt the name didn't suit her.

Ursula is GREAT but i LOVE Women in Love!

go for it - über cool

Rosanna is the better of the two. Ursula makes me think of Phoebie's twin in friends.

i think they are both very nice. ursula.

Rosanna

Ursula makes me think of bears.

prefer rosanna. That said, a German friend's sister is Ursula, but have only every known her as "Uschi" which is lovely. Depends where you live, I gueess.

ladette that is why i like ursula. uschi is very nice to say.

I like Ursula too. Much nicer than Rosnna imo.

Rosanna, rather!

Ursula is rather hard and cold

Rosanna a bit over-sweet

Uschi very very sweet

Rosanna is nicer
Ursula has bear/ nun / constellation overtones, but agree Uschi is nice

Yes, I love "Uschi" partly cos it's a nice name but mainly because the Uschi I know is absolutely lovely.
