Hettie or Etta...short for?

[cheapandchic]

I like Hettie or Etta but not so keen on Henrietta..

What else could they be short for?

[Bazinga12]

Harriet?

[Bazinga12]

Harriet?

[LittleDonkin]

Greta nn Etta

[Umicar]

Hester

[Gimmeechocolate]

I have a Hetty - not short for anything!

[LynetteScavo]

Etta is georgous, and fine on it's own, IMO. (And I'm not keen on short names such as Harry/Alfie, etc)

have a look at the line below

Etta James (singer of the amazing song "at last") was really called Jamesetta Hawkins.

Harriet

[pigletpower]

I have a Hattie [not short for Harriet.]

[BehindLockNumberNine]

My (Dutch) grandmother was Hettie, it was short for Henrietta.

[DragonQueen]

Henrietta, my friend is henrietta nn Hetti - beautiful name

[BinarySolo]

Not quite the same but my aunt was Ettie, short for Ethel.

[SouthernComforts]

I know a Henrietta nn Henni, really suits her.

[RubyGrace17]

Heather?

Ruby

[MolotovCocktail]

Another vote for Etta as a name in it's own right from me - absolutely stunning :)

[JazzAnnNonMouse]

Reckon etta could be a name by itself - love it!

[mummybare]

Rowetta
Rosetta
Loretta
Colette
Annette
Marietta
Paulette
Lisette

...or just Etta.

Hettie short for Hester?

[oldspeckledtam]

If ds had been a dd he was to be Heather nn Hettie.

[legallyblond]

Hetty short for Esther is in my list!

[KatherineKrupnik]

I thought Etta was a name anyway - I know a baby Etta, lovely name.

[marmiteandhoney]

Esther
