What do you think of
Ursula? I know it is no longer very popular in
America, due to the "Little Mermaid" association, and this seems to be most people's experience with the name. However, I am aware that some people actually know of this name beyond the children's movie, as it is connected both with the author,
Ursula Le Guin, and the divine Ms. Andress.
Funnily enough, even though the meaning is not at all sea-related, I still think of the ocean when I hear this name. However, rather than thinking of the cartoonish and frightening sea witch, I think of a little girl, with short dark hair and piercing dark eyes. She wears a lot of white, loves to read, and has two black cats, named Jinx and Salem, that follow her everywhere. She lives along the seashore, and spends much of her day collecting shells and playing in the storm-tossed surf.
So, do you like
Ursula? If you do, what names would you use in a combo with her? Thanks in advance!
