Not keen, I know one Ursula and she uses her middle name. It also reminds me of Pheobe, from Friends, as she has a twin called Ursula.

Horrid, sounds harsh.

Pancakeflipper · 03/04/2010 13:00

I love it.
A fav name of mine. But just didn't suit my boys.

DinahRod · 03/04/2010 13:04

I love it.

Poohbearsmom · 03/04/2010 13:09

It's a nice name. Means little bear - which is quite cute (for a little 'un, anyway).

Horrid.

Divatheshopaholic · 03/04/2010 13:42

No way, definately must avoid name.

schroedingersdodo · 03/04/2010 13:42

I like it. Strong, beautiful, traditional, there's only one way to write, works in many languages, not too popular, etc etc. DH doesn't like it

I know a 10 yo Ursula, and tbh, I don't think it fits a child. Nice for someone older. I knew one growing up, and imo she carried it well because she was very edgy (twas the punk era) and arty.

It doesn't bother me in the least if you do. I'm sure a lot of people don't like my first name either. It really doesn't bother me.

I wasn't the only one who said it's horrid anyway and we were asked to give an honest opinion, and I don't like the name.
It's not personal. I was responding to Sunchild anyway not to you.

I hear Ursula, I see the sea witch.

Maybe thats just because of the age of my children though ...

LynetteScavo · 03/04/2010 18:13

I've only known one Ursula, and she was lovely, but for some reason, I've never liked the name.

I love it. I like Sula for short. Might use it if I have another DD.

elmofan · 03/04/2010 19:17

ohhh the girl that bullied me at school was named Ursula , so for that reason alone i dont like it

shockers · 03/04/2010 19:22

I knew a very beautiful lady called Ursula. She was gentle, cultured and ladylike... I love it.

madly · 03/04/2010 19:28

Love it!
