NAME OF THE DAY: Pretty

With a voice as beautiful as hers, no wonder soprano opera singer Pretty Yende's name is actually just that – 🎶Pretty!  

📛Pretty the name, means the definition of what 'pretty' is of course. In Pretty Yende's case, she  explains in her South African culture, parents give their children names “to follow” to “bring them luck.” [for example: she has a brother named 📛Prosper!] On her name, Pretty says growing up she dreaded her name, “I didn’t feel I was pretty at all." But she came around. Pretty explains her name is "delicate" with “so many subtleties” — suggestive of “wish and will,” sentiments that still guide her. 

Behind the Name has Pretty as a variant of the Hindi name 📛Priti. Popular Baby Names has supposed data on the name Pretty: between 1900 and 2022 there were 59 births of Pretty. But I didn't see Africa listed anywhere, which is where Pretty Yende was born. 🤔 There is also a few baby boys listed as being named (stage names mostly it seems) 📛Pretty 🤯 📢I don't like Pretty used for a boy at all! 🙅🏾‍♀️ My Name Stats says 📍California is where the most Pretty named women are and 📍Nevada is next. Nameberry's take on the name Pretty: "For more exciting options with the same meaning, try 📛Jolie, 📛Marini, or 📛Reiko."  Love Jolie only. Nameberry has a complete list: 📄100+ Pretty Girl Names📛 but ironically a lot of the names on it I do not find pretty. 😬    

I love the name 📛Pretty. 😍 It's so matter-of-fact. 🤷🏾‍♀️ And it takes guts to give and wear this very pretty name. I wonder if Pretty Yende often gets the name compliment: "That's a pretty name." 😊
