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.
