It's my sister's name. It's a classic that was used already in the Middle Ages. It's very popular in Portugal but still is a classic. Beautiful name.

This is my name, and I love it! Not to sound self-centered, but I think it is one of the prettiest names in Portugal. Too bad it's hard to pronounce it correctly in other languages (even in Brazilian-Portuguese it's pronounced different). But then I have the nicknames 'Ness' and 'Nessie' to make up for it :) Not only they're easier to say, they're also fun and cute!
