I really like Ursula. I love the meaning too.

I've always loved Ursula - even when I watched "The Little Mermaid" as a kid. And then later, in the live-action "George of the Jungle" (the one with Brendan Fraser), George's love interest was Ursula, which helped it not seem like such a "sea-witch" name.Ursula is an elegant name that starts with an atypical letter ("U"), so it's eye-catching, as well.

Yes, Tarzan!That's where I actually first heard the name and liked it ever since. Glad to know The Little Mermaid didn't ruin it for you...I've actually only seen it once and I was like, 4 or 5 (I wasn't much of a Disney kid) so the association never bothered me.

Ursula's a pretty great name, but I do have the connotation of the tentacled scary sea witch from the Little Mermaid. Also I really like Ursa.

I know an Ursula. She was born about a decade before the Disney version of Little Mermaid came out. I like it, but the villain association is a strong one for lots of people.

There's a little girl at daycare with this name - I was a little unsure of it at first, but hearing it in practice it really grew on me. Not that I'd use it, but it suits her

Speaking of Disney witches...I like Ursula, but that's exactly why people don't use it. It might be tainted forever, even though she is one of the most memorable characters, ever.
