because a cartoon is just that.... a cartoon. It's not a real life person with real life character flaws - it's a made up person with imaginary character flaws. Maybe that shouldn't make a difference but to me it does. I think that's all people are saying. It's a two-way street = sometimes people don't understand why someone dislikes a name, just as sometimes people don't understand how someone could like a name. I think most people here were simply trying to point out that a negative character reference, even if it's universal, doesn't always mean that such a reference is impossible to overlook. And like Ludwig said, someone's gotta fight for poor lil' Ursula! She never asked to become a villainous name :)

Hmmm my inclination to stick up for Ursula against the seawitch association is kind of because it doesn't have a fighting chance if people don't. Sort of Affirmative Action ish. lol
