Ornella? 

PS - Ornella is the name of a girl born to parents both performing opera for a living.

The PS is either self-evident or one would hope for this to be true.

Does it source from a particular opera or related word or term?

"Created by the Italian author Gabriele d'Annunzio for his novel 'La Figlia di Jorio' (1904). It is derived from Tuscan Italian ornello meaning "flowering ash tree"."

From Behindthename.com?

Do you think it's pretty? Because I can't decide if I like it or not.

I think it's pretty, but not my taste. A bit too much on the frilly/naive side, but I do have a thing for girl names starting with O-

I actually have a whose middle is Ornella (her first name is an African name that is difficult to spell and pronounce). She was originally from west Africa, but spent some time in France.

I do think it's pretty, but because of her I would never use it.

I know what you mean. There are some very respectable names I would never use simply because I've met people with those names that I don't get along with.
