Oh happy, happy day! Callou-callay (sp?)! I'm chortling in my joy.
Of course
Ursula is usable. Why wouldn't the most gorgeous name in the universe be usable?
Ursula Catherine is wonderful. I don't find it too long at all. Perhaps if you could tell us what the other family name options are we could come up with a variant or two that might do the trick. My favorite combos might be a bit out there for you. But I can't resist the chance to suggest them:
Ursula Eugenie (just look at all those "u's" flying around)
Ursula MaudeUrsula Ghislaine /
GiseleUrsula ValkyrieUrsula Mathilde /
MatildaUrsula Clothilde /
ClotildaUrsula GermaineUrsula MyfanwyUrsula RosamundUrsula GlynisUrsula BlytheUrsula Phoebe ("Friends" be d*mned. This was my favorite combo for
Ursula before I watched that series.)
Ursula BriarUrsula RubyUrsula VivienUrsula Beatrice /
BetrysUrsula OttilieUrsula Cornelia (sounds so healthy she wouldn't need vaccinations)
Ursula RhonwenUrsula BryonyUrsula Sibyl (a bit hissy, but they seem like such good pals)
Ursula Marion /
MitziUrsula Kate /
Kay (fans of Ms LeGuin will get this one)
Ursula BronwenUrsula FredericaUrsula Eulalie (the "u's," the "u's!")
Ursula MaryUrsula Verity (very "Poldark-ish")
Ursula RobinUrsula Valentine (two children of
Elizabeth Warleggan in "Poldark")
Ursula Margaret
See?
Ursula Catherine looks pretty tame in comparison. Emminently usable. (Or should I say imminently usable?)
Possible nns for versatile
Ursula: Ursi,
Ursa,
Susie,
Lulu, Bear ;-)
