Love Henerietta - Hetty and Etta both fab nicknames.

Tabitha is ok, don't like Ariadne at all, sorry - makes me think of spiders.

Oooooh very excited that henrietta isn't hated so much! I though people would dislike it! Love the nn Etta as well

Henrietta I love.

Tabitha makes me think of cats and Ariadne makes me think of spiders. Both are pretty though, but Henrietta is in a league of its own!

GibberTheMonkey · 01/05/2013 08:46

Don't really like tabitha but I suspect that is a name connection thing
Love the other two though I think henrietta is more popular

Kelly1992 · 01/05/2013 09:12

Tabitha/Tabatha - Love
Ariadne - How do you say this ???
Henrietta - Too old for my liking

Choccybaby · 01/05/2013 09:32

I prefer henrietta out of three.

Tabitha makes me think of cats and Ariadne spiders as above

  1. Tabitha
  2. Ariadne
  3. Henrietta (presumably isn't risible with your surname, but she might have a different one in later life).

Henrietta, nn Etta or Hetta is very nice - my winner!
Ariadne a bit 'try hard' to my ears and and Tabitha a bit of a cat's name, but ok.

TicketyToc · 01/05/2013 10:39

Henrietta
Tabitha
Ariadne

InkleWinkle · 01/05/2013 10:42

Tabitha

Ariadne Henrietta (dislike them both equally£

TenthMuse · 01/05/2013 11:47

Tabitha - just beautiful. Don't let the 'cat' thing put you off!
Ariadne - pretty and I like the mythological connection but agree it sounds a bit try-hard

Henrietta - really dislike this - sounds too 'starchy' and buttoned up, and somehow manages to sound frilly and harsh at the same time.

WeOnlyPlannedTheFirst · 01/05/2013 11:55

Henrietta
Tabitha
Ariadne

I like them all but think Ariadne might be a bit hard for a baby to 'wear' if that makes sense?

I like all three equally.The only little Henrietta I know has nn Hetty which is really sweet.I also know a grown up one who is always called Henry.
I like Tabitha-makes me think of Bewitched :) I think Ariadne would be just third on my list.
