Love this name but have only seen it in literature. The name sounds strong and purposeful. I know it is an old English name but it makes me think of a Viking.

This was the name of my grandfather, and I got my middle name (Ulrica) from him. I like it, the look of it, the pronunciation, the meaning, everything.
