Hi !!!

They come from Latin hortus 'garden'. Ortensia is also the Italian word for Hydrangea flower.

Ortensia came up to my mind lately. I think it is unusual but very feminine and elegant.

WDYTO these names?

I like Hortensia and Hortense, in a guilty pleasure way. Ortensia is okay.

I don't like Hortensia, it has an unfortunate combination of sounds to me - whore and tense. Not pretty

I quite like the sound of Hortense, but not the look of it

Ortensia is lovely

I loved Hortense until someone said it sounds like "whore tense".

Please vote on my lists, thanks!

Of the three, I prefer Hortensia, but I'm mostly neutral to all three. Ortensia and Hortense both sound very French to me, while Hortensia sounds very English (as in British). Those impressions may be very incorrect, but that's what comes to mind.

Honestly I think Hortense is one of the ugliest names ever. Ortensia is better but I still think it's kind of ugly.
