I have mixed feelings on
Hortense. I love the sound when it's pronounced correctly, but I'm so terrible at any kind of French pronunciation that it feels very affected to me when I try to say it right. Also, I would be very tempted to "misspell" it is Ortense to cut down on its visual ugliness. ;-)
Hortensia: neat! Maybe not something that I could find a lot of practical applications for, but it's pretty cool. I'd admire someone's guts if they went for it for real.
Thanks for bringing these up. I'd forgotten what I liked about
Hortense. :-)
