[Opinions] Hortense
by

Does anyone out there appreciate or even admire
Hortense
? I believe I've fallen in love with the name, which calls to mind the mannered and glamorous gentry of New
York
City in the early twentieth century. For me the name symbolizes grand feminine hauteur (though not of an off-putting nature) and an elegance that has evanesced over time. What do you think? For the record, I don't pronounce it the French way (or-TAWNS, roughly) when I fawn over it.
I have, of course, come up with some combos. Which (if any) appeal to you? Do any of them redeem oft-maligned
Hortense
in your eyes?
