I think this name is pretty if you pronounce it like the Spanish OR-tens-ee-a.

The grandmother of a friend of mine Anglicized her name to Hortencia when she moved to America (she was originally "Ortenzia"). I always liked the name. It's much more workable than "Hortense" which places the stress directly on the unfortunate syllable.

I just watched Matilda and thought this was a beautiful name, but then I realized that the starting sound of this name might cause some teasing in middle and high school..
