My lovely grandmother was called Hendrika. Everyone called her Rietje (Ree - tche). There is no name in the world that you make from this that you could saddle a baby girl with, is there?

What about nn Erika or Hettie?

I think it is a lovely name with a nice story. Lots of natural nns could spring from it.

Hendrika is a lovely name and makes me think of Rembrandt and Hendrickje Stoffels. His pictures of her are so beautiful and loving.

I'd go with Hendrika and the nickname as they are both lovely.
