If I'm getting the drift of your time period, I think of it as Edith Wharton's New York. But she may have been more of an 1870's gal. I don't know why the image is so strong when I read your comments.
Anyway, of course I love Hortense! It's a little creepy, because I was just thinking about Hortense this morning, especially with a French accent, which I know you love as well.
Poor Hortense. She suffers from the "Hor-/ whore" association with most people. But that just makes me love her more -- her and Horatia. Hortense is my go-to name for "serious chic."
I'm going with Hortense Edith, to honor Ms Wharton. But they are all top notch. :-)
