Re: Ursula
I've never heard "oor-soo-lah" before and don't find it preferable to the English pronunciation. Ursula has been one of my favorites for a few years. I like the meaning and think the look/sound/history is interesting. I do associate it with the Disney villain but not in a negative or specific way. It just reminds me of water and the color purple...although "Poor Unfortunate Souls" is one of my favorite Disney songs...it also vaguely reminds me of the TV show Friends (Phoebe's evil twin).I've met one person IRL with the name; she'd be in her 40s now.
Here is the result of a (one selection per vote) poll I did on this site last year...Ursula
I love it: 25%
I like it: 21%
It's usable: 25%
It's too weird/ugly/pretentious to use: 29%
The Disney villain made it unusable: 0%
Ursula Guinevere and Ursula Gwendolyn are my favorites of the ones you listed; they do bring to mind Ursula Le Guin, but I've never read any of her books, so that doesn't mean much to me. Ursula Miruna and Ursula Zaharina are interesting. I think Ursula Victoria is nice, but I'm biased in favor of Victoria anyway.
Right now my favorite MN with it is Ursula Niobe.
More combos I've liked at some point...Ursula Matild
Ursula Nimue
Ursula Esme
Ursula Emerald
Ursula Remei
Ursula Beatrix
Ursula Rosalind
Ursula Marigold
Ursula Nadine
Ursula Pauline
Ursula Irene
Ursula Iris
Ursula Mavis
Ursula Gwendolen
Ursula Genevieve
Ursula Margot
Ursula Willow
Ursula Clio
Ursula Juno
Ursula Juniper
Ursula Raphaelle
Ursula Indira
Ursula Enid
