Is Greta a nice name? Would it seem odd on a child with no European links?
I just think it has such a cool, vintage vibe and I like Ettie for a nickname. I also am liking Ada at the moment, which is perhaps a bit more in keeping with current trends.

Surname is Irish but not obviously so. It's short and one syllable, goes fine with Greta, sounds quite cool actually (I think anyway)

I know of a few Greta and Gretels now. All of them English parents. I really like them both. I think they are gaining in popularity but that’s because they are nice names. None of them get shortened. I also love Ada and know of one 7yr old Ada.

Depends on the surname. If it's something very English, or something that begins with an R it may sound odd.

I reeeeally don't like it. The gret sound is awful. And reminds me of regret.

Averagemummy - I know what you mean. What's cool or interesting on someone else's child can feel too much for me, but maybe I just need to be more brave.

I really love Ada
I can’t make my mind up about Greta - I think I’d love it on someone else’s child but wouldn’t use it myself

Greta is beautiful and doesn’t require a nickname. Ettie to me is naff, like Lottie.
