I really like the German pronunciation OOR-zoo-la. I didn't like this name when I was a kid, but it has grown on me. Although I wouldn't give it to a child now, because of the Little Mermaid movie.
Spanish pronunciation is wrongly stated. It's OOR-soo-lah (emphasis on the 1st syllable). [noted -ed]
This name is pronounced in British English as "UR-syə-lə", which the webmaster should add to the main page sometime. [noted -ed]
In England the pronunciation is "Ursyuhla", with a definite 'y' glide after the 's'. I prefer this pronunciation to the American one. It's an alright name, I associate it more with Ursula Andress than The Little Mermaid.
Listen to the German pronunciation of Ursula here:

My mum's name is Ursula, and she can't stand people pronouncing it 'URSH-ula', she pronounces it 'URS-ula'. Also she hates to be called 'Ursh' or 'Urshie'.
Can also be pronounced URS-la, urs like the other pronunciations, not like yours.
