Girl sibling for Henrietta

Wondering if anyone has any ideas...

DD1 is Henrietta (we call her by a shortened version mostly). She was named after a loved one, it's not really a name that is totally our 'style' but we 100% love it now. So now we need a girl's name that goes with it - in the very least I'd like a name that has a shortened version, or nickname opportunities! The MN will be Joy.

Names we like but can't use for various reasons are:
Margaret
Florence
Beatrice
Matilda

I'm also keen to avoid other names that are feminizations of male names (like Georgina, for example).

Any suggestions welcome!

When I was little I always wanted 3 girls. To be called Harriet, Henrietta and Roberta. Roberta joy sound nice I think.

Was going to say Edwina but doesn't fit your criteria. Sarah? Emma?

Eleanor? Harriet?

Rosamund, Rosa
Hermione (surely there is a nn?)
Esme
Alexandra or Phillipa but too masculine?

Alexandra?
Elizabeth?
Annabelle?

Are any of these along the right lines?

I know two Henriettas. One with a sister called Esther and the other with sisters, Josephine, Geraldine, and Margaret.

I don't think that was too helpful, sorry.
