Gladys! Another underappreciated gem. How can anyone not like a name with "glad" in it? Ursula Gladys would be fantabulous. But I know Ursula is already pushing the envelope of popular tastes. Ursula Blythe, Ursula Bryony and Ursula Verity seem like they could "pass" for normal. You're taking your life into your own hands with delicious Ursula Myfanwy. :-)Glendean is interesting. I've started to really get into the idea of Deenie as a nn for Gardenia. Then there's also Glencora, from the "Pallisers" books by Anthony Trollope. Ursula Glencora has a real ring to it. But again, the envelope is being pushed. Ursula Glenna is nice. Ursula Delphine to honor Del?Ursula Hazel is very "mainstream" right now, at least in hip, artsy circles. Gilda really intrigues me. If it means "gold," then how about Ursula Aurelia? The flow isn't what we normally hear. But there's an ancient Roman quality to it that I like. Orla and Oriana also mean gold. But they are too tongue-trippy with Ursula. Ursula Matilda honors Mattie. Oh, but I knew there was a little Ursula Gladys being born soon, I could die a happy name-nerd. Just keep that in mind, won't you dear?
