A compliment in Japanese
I am looking for a good Japanese translation for a compliment you could give a person after being introduced and learning their name:

"Ah, a pretty name for a pretty girl."

How would one translate that to Japanese? Here's what I can come up with:

Aa, kirei na onamae tame ni kirei na onnanohito?Thanks everyone for the suggestions. It's hard to give this in a complete sentence, as it is meant to be a complete sentence. The context is a boy meets a girl, she introduces herself and gives her name, and he wishes to give her a compliment back by saying she has a pretty name. It is a bit of flirting perhaps. This may not have an equivalent in Japanese.

In Yamato's comment, "onamae mo kireina kata desune." is the best. This means "you are pretty and your name is pretty, too". I like this!
