[Opinions] Ursa
What do you think of Ursa? I love the meaning and that it’s a constellation, but the U is putting me off…

I like Ursula, and Ursa is neat. The UR sound is kinda grunt-y though, lessens the appeal.
In fiction maybe you could creatively spell it Oursa like French l'ours (bear)

I dislike the name. a lot. It looks unfinished and I agree that the U is off putting. Whereas I don't think the same about the name Una, why?

The U makes different sounds in the two names. YOU in Una, which is ok, and a hesitant ER in Ursa, which would put anyone off.

Ursa is very cute, but it sounds incomplete because I love Ursula.

I like it a lot. It has all the good parts of Ursula without the sea witch thing. The "Ur" is pronounced awkwardly in my accent but I could see it being a lot prettier in some other accents.
