Help[Opinions] Re: Ursula
in reply to a message by alicia_renee
I am a child from when the Little Mermaid was big. I loved the movie growing up, but I hated Ursula. In fact, I would fast forward through her "solo scenes" (when no other main character was with her).
In America, I'd crigne hearing the name. But if I was abroad, and heard the name, I probably wouldn't think too much of it. (I was in Asia and heard Ariel on a boy and liked it, despite thinking it'd be a little weird here in America.)
However, I don't like the sound of Ursula. To me, it's just not a pretty name (which may stem back to the movie, or the harsh ur-sa sounds). It's just not pleasant to my ears.

That's okay, we can't all like the same names. :) I grew up with the Little Mermaid, and I always found Ursula a little disturbing-especially in that scene where she is trying to convince Ariel to take her deal, and she talks about the importance of body language, and does that horribly suggestive hip/body waggle. UGH! However, this doesn't ruin the name for me, because she's just a fictional character anyway. :)
