My association is with the indomitable character Vesper Holly, in the series of the same name by Lloyd Alexander. I'm not sure that "pretty" is the word I would use to describe it -- spunky, perhaps, probably because of the character. I'd like it on someone else's kid but wouldn't use it myself, since it's also too associated with the Catholic prayer service. I like the meaning, though "evening", and it's from the Greek Hesperus (the Greek name for the evening star, which we now know as the planet Venus).
