Middle name for Ursula

(19 Posts)
What do you think about

- Ursula Constance

or

- Ursula Ivy. (I'm a bit worried about the two names merging into one ...)

Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

Don't like Ursula Ivy at all, at all.

Ursula Constance is much better. Constance is lovely

Constance.
I would either go with a one syllable or a 3 syllable name - sounds more musical. I would also avoid anything ending in a 'ah' sound as I know an Ursula Eleanor and think it sounds horrid!

dah-dah-dah DUM eg. Ursula Jane
dah-dah-dah dah-dah-dah eg. Ursula Harriet

Of those two though I prefer Constance because the C give a good break between the two names.
My friend has an Ursula Veronica
Out of those, Constance. For my suggestion, I like Jean as a middle name, it just sounds nice.

I like Ursula Ivy, too.

Mae and Rose just sound like obligatory add-ons.

Ooh, Ursula is top of my shortlist! (Unfortunately having trouble persuading dh of its merits...)
Of your 2 options I much prefer the combination Ursula Constance (Constance being top of dh's shortlist!), although I do love the name Ivy.
Other ones on my list are:
Ursula Beatrix
Ursula Mabel
Ursula Joy

So lovely to see someone using Ursula!

I like Ursula Ivy. It's very spunky

I see what you mean but personally don't think it merges as much as some names and with a name ending in 'a', you'd have to avoid any middle names beginning with vowels to avoid merging completely....

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
