Help[Opinions] Wheeeeee!
in reply to a message by alicia_renee
I have a thing for bears. I don't know if you noticed or not. :-P
Ursula is divine. It sounds beautiful, especially the British way. It brings to mind bears in the stars dipping things. How great is that?
I came of age well before the "Little Mermaid" movie so my associations with the name are all positive. St. Ursula and her nuns, sexy Ms Andress coming out of the sea as the first Bond girl in "Dr. No," Ms LeGuin, Ursa Major / Minor and just plain bears. Of the many pop culture references to ruin names for an entire generation I hold that *&%^%^%@ fishy Disney one in the lowest regard. Yes, it was a cute movie that entertained thousands -- but at the cost of my beloved Ursula. I shall never forgive them.
Ursula Valkyrie is my favorite stock combination for her. But she scares most people so I have these as back-ups:
Ursula Maud
Ursula Ghislaine
Ursula Bronwen
Ursula Clothilde
Ursula Capucine
Ursula Eugenie / Eugenia
Ursula Mary
Ursula Hazel -- wonderfully witchy
Ursula Meadow
Ursula Florimel
Ursula Winifred
Ursula Margaret / Margarethe
Ursula Bryony
Ursula Gwyneth
Ursula Bridget / Britt
Ursula Dagmar -- a new love
Ursula Rosamund
Ursula Blaithin ("blah-HEEN")
Ursula Bibigul -- I know, but say it out loud three times. It grows on you.
Ursula Verity
Many of these were donated to me by fellow BtNers for which I am eternatlly grateful. Thanks for the pick-me-up. I needed it. :-D

Oh my God, I love so many of these. Ursula Valkyrie is awesome-it feels so badass!
Ursula Ghislaine, Ursula Bronwen, Ursula Hazel, Ursula Winifred-so many of these are delightful, I may have to start a new list just for Ursula combinations.
Funny, it wasn't so long ago that I thought Ursula was a hideous name, because of the Disney association ("The Little Mermaid" came out the year I was born), but I have decided I can get past that for the sake of her beauty.
The weird thing is that, in the original Hans Christian Andersen tale, she had no name-she was just the Sea Witch. Furthermore, she wasn't unrepentingly (sp?) evil-she was more ambigous. But, I guess American children need "good guys" and "bad guys" in movies.

You mean you have an opinion of your own? You aren't bound by pop culture influences? Score! :-D
Glad you liked them. I plan on picking up a few new ones in this thread. I hope you don't mind.
