Help[Opinions] Ursula
Today's name of the day is Ursula. WDYT?
Personally, it has been a favorite since childhood. Vaguely, I thought it was weird that I liked a Disney villain's name more than the heroine's (Ursula vs. Ariel), but I didn't let that bother me. And then of course there was also Ursula Stanhope, the love interest of George of the Jungle (the live action movie with Brendan Fraser - it's PG and hilarious, I highly recommend it). Ursula has always seemed cosmopolitan without being stuffy.

I like it.
I shouldn't, because the sound of it is unlike any other names I like - I think I like the -ula ending and the meaning.
Reminds me of Ursula LeGuin.
I think it was dumb to name a cartoon villain Ursula. It's so basic to think it's an ugly name. Just because of the ur part.
(Probably that's exactly what other people think about me when I say a name is ugly ... heh. Like Agatha, which is really ugly just because of the ag part.)

Ursula sounds guttural, and I strongly associate it with the hag variety of witches (as a opposed to cute whimsical witches or sultry sorceresses).

That... is an interesting image. Peas, specifically? :-P
My neck of the woods (really, everything within an hour's driving distance) has a huge Polish population, but I don't think I've ever encountered Urszula. I've met and spoken to women named Sylwia (this is common enough that when someone at work tells me their name is Sylvia, I ask "V or W?"), Ewelina, Oliwia, Katarzyna (I've always thought the Polish variant of Katherine was really pretty), Beata... but never an Urszula. I had no idea the name was so popular in Poland. I don't think it sounds bad (though I still vastly prefer Ursula), but after saying it a few times I don't think I like "Ula" as a nickname.

Yeah, I know
Since you already agreed 100% with "Adore!"
There isn't really a need to reiterate an opinion when you see an opposing one, unless you have something new to add.

I find it shimmeringly lovely. I love that its beauty is unconventional (according to some standards).

Pretty name. My kids had a teen sitter with this name. She was a dancer and had such poise and grace. This name fit her well.
