Ursula...for a baby girl

[victorianababy]

So what do you think and would you say Ur-sula or Ur-shula?

ur-sula. lovely, i really like this name.

Ur-sula. I went to the Ursuline school and we pronounced it -suline not -shuline.

Ur-sula

I like it.

Worked with one in Dublin years ago and have liked it since.

Edith, you weren't in Wimbledon, were you?

I love Ursula, definitely Ur-sula

Ur-sula. Doesn't conjure up really cuchie coo images but could be one of those names that you hear being called out and then think 'why didn't i call my daughter that?'

One of my best friends is called Ursula - it's a great name (she pronounces it ur-shula tho, just to be contrary...)

Ur-sula

Another victim of the Ursulines, here. Oh it is quite a nice name I suppose (better than St Angela) as long as you don't take the story of the thousand(s) of virgins too literally.

I think of this Ursula
sorry
I would say ur soo la. No 'H' sound.

I had an aunt Ursula..but it makes me think of Ursulines

or DH Lawrence

Eyeballs - no, Ilford! Are you an Ursuline girl, too, then? think there's a few of us knocking around!

I know an Ursula - her dad is a DH Lawrence scholar - she is def pronounced Urshula.

lovley - have heard it pronounced both ways. I think I prefer Ur-sula although a good friend of mine is Ur-shula or Ursh more usually which is not very pretty for a baby girl!

Yes, the good old Ursuline Convent - dodgy nuns included! Bless 'em

I love it

Gorgeous, I was in Ursula Hall when I was a student and have loved the sound of it ever since, but didn't go with our surname.

Watch it, raindrops

Like it. Think I'd pronounce it both ways.

Have heard it pn both ways. My instinct would be to say Ur-sula.

It reminds me of the sea witch also, sorry.
