Middle name for Henrietta

31 replies

After months of only two names on our shortlist - Eliza and Genevieve - we've added Henrietta (Hetty) to our list.
Not looking for opinions on the names, but any middle name suggestions welcome!
Can't have Grace for personal reasons but other than that, we haven't got a specific direction to go with middle names.

Very nice name. I think you definitely want a shorter name as a middle name:

Henrietta Iris
Henrietta Alice
Henrietta Maeve
Henrietta Mabel

Henrietta Pringle
Henrietta Banana
Henrietta Biscuit
Henrietta EnglishBreakfast

I do love the name by the way!

With Henrietta I think you should go long and/or maybe offbeat too for a MN:

Henrietta Araminta
Henrietta Alexandra
Henrietta Leonora
Henrietta Artemisia
Henrietta Magdalena
Henrietta Evalina
Henrietta Christabel
Henrietta Rosanna
Henrietta Cornelia
Henrietta Letitia
Henrietta Rowena
Henrietta Isadora
Henrietta Marjolaine
Henrietta Roxana
Henrietta Francesca
Henrietta Imogene
Henrietta Thisbe
Henrietta Rosemary

I think you could use any of those MNs for Eliza too.

Then Genevieve:
Genevieve Adelaide
Genevieve Annabel
Genevieve Eleanor
Genevieve Isabel
Genevieve Marceline
Genevieve Angelina
Genevieve Emmeline
Genevieve Aurelia

I love both Henrietta (Hetty) and Eliza.

The two Genevieves I know were shortened to 'Jen'

Really liking the rong of Henrietta Joy.

I dont usually like Joy but it really flows here! That's really pretty!

VenusClapTrap · 27/03/2020 23:38

Henrietta Marie flows beautifully.

Soubriquet · 27/03/2020 20:13

Henrietta Annabel

zigaziga · 27/03/2020 20:03

I like the sound of Henrietta Claire already suggested.
Rose is a bit of a filler name but it does work nicely in this case.

VenusClapTrap · 27/03/2020 19:24

Keep the middle name short with such a long first name. Personally I like Henrietta Fleur.

Mitzdob · 27/03/2020 07:06

Rose

Henrietta Florence

WindyRose · 26/03/2020 04:00

Henrietta (Hetty) Rose....imho, they flow nicely. All the best and don't forget to let us know what you choose. ;-)

I do think a four-syllable first name sounds best with a one-syllable middle name. Some lovely suggestions above.

Rose
