Share Your Thoughts 6 Comments Sandy Jan 18 at 2:56 pm le puse a mi hija ese nombre. No sabria decir de donde lo saque… Un dia bromeando con mi esposo le dije tendremos una hija y se llamara Ursula a el no le gustaba nada ajajaj siempre decia la NO Ursula hara eso y lo otro ajajaj PD: solo era broma pues nunca quisimos tener hijos, hasta que un dia fuimos al medico y tenia 7 meses… Asi como llego el nombre magicamente de la nada, asi mismo llego nuestra hija, inquieta revoltosa, muy palida y ojos oscuros y brillantes casi como la noche misma. Debo de reconocer que asi como me han elogiado su nombre, me lo han criticado mucho. Sin embargo, no me la imagino con un nombre distinto. Reply Ursula Nov 3 at 1:12 am My name is Ursula. My Mom chose the name after meeting a German foreign exchange student in college. She said she knew immediately when she was having a little girl that she was naming me Ursula. I love my name. I don’t bump into many women named Ursula but I ended up going to school with 2 others. Depending on the generation I get asked was I named after the Little Mermaid Seawitch character or Ursula Andress the actress. Meaning is everything let the meaning fit the child. Reply Ursula Harjee Mar 11 at 10:09 am My name is also Ursula. I used to have and have 3 nick-names: Ulla, Uschi and Ursi. My Spanish friends call me Ursulita. I actually love my name and also my nick-names. ? Reply Ashley H. Apr 11 at 7:23 pm Ursula is a unique, old fashioned and strong name that fits perfectly our dark-eyed feisty little girl. My husband enjoys astronomy and studying the stars, and was inspired by the Ursa constellations. Ursula means “little she bear” and also jives with our love of the natural world. The one thing I maybe do not care for is when someone hears her name and asks if it’s from The Little Mermaid. But for the most part, people love hearing a name that just isn’t at all common. Reply Janet Nicholls Apr 17 at 2:24 pm My middle name is Ursula and I love it. I was born in Germany that’s why my parents chose it for me. Its unique and beautiful is Ursula. Prefer Ursula over my first name. Reply A May 10 at 2:43 pm My daughter is Mary Ursula! Reply Share your thoughts on the name Ursula Cancel ReplyYour email address will not be published.
