Last night I was watching a video of Italian singer Andrea Bocelli. One of his guest singers was South African Opera singer Pretty Yende. It got me wondering how Yende's parents knew she wouldn't turn out to be ugly as a half-eaten warthog when they named her? (If you haven't seen her, ugly she ain't!) Or Italians naming their daughters Bella, or Spanish naming their daughters Linda? Are there other languages in which variants of "pretty" of "beautiful" are used as names? Steve Martin's "El Guapo" doesn't count! | ||

Wishful thinking. Same reason they name boys Angel, Jesus, or Mohammed. Some even use Buddha as a nickname.This message has been edited. Last edited by: <Proofreader>, | ||

Unfortunately I don't know many languages, just Spanish and English. Here is a site about baby names meaning beautiful. | |||
