Henrietta or...?

[jaundicedoutlook]

We have a mixed bag of names on the list and, with (hopefully) 2 weeks to go, still can't agree. Henrietta was favourite, but not so sure over recent days. Also in the running are...

Astrid
Blythe
Georgina (though fear a rash of the blighters post royal male equiv)
Hebe
Madeleine

All views on the above plus alternative suggestions welcome!

My friend's daughter is called Hetta which I have always assumed is short for Henrietta - lovely.

I love Henrietta

Astrid....

Love this name.

Georgina and Madeleine are my favs.
Also like Georgia and Georgiana.

Other suggestions:
Martha
Hermione
Clarissa
Harriet
Daphne
Florence
Edith
Arabella

From your list I like Blythe best.

I always imagines Henriettas to be pompous and sneering, and ruddy cheeked for some reason.

From your list I like Madeleine best.

I love Georgia, but not Georgina.

Henrietta is ok, but prefer Harriet.

Not keen on the others.

I think exactly the same as outraged !

Madeleine is my favourite from your list. I also prefer Georgia and Harriet.

I love Hebe, Astrid and Blythe but not Henrietta. It's too ok yah, snort snort pony club girl to me.

I like Georgina

I like Hebe and Blythe.

I have never been a fan of Henrietta, it always reminds me of "Duck Face" from Four Weddings and a Funeral" As others have also said, I love Harriet. I suggested to but husband has said no!

I like Blythe - not common but very beautiful

Like Astrid and Blythe, don't like the rest.

Henrietta was on our short list for a girl along with

Ariadne
Matilda
Hermione
Tabitha

Love your list. Henrietta is my favourite, as it's quite unusual and a good mix of spiky and feminine - plus Henry is such a cool nickname for the right type of girl

Hebe and Astrid are great as being strong and uncommon (I like Phoebe and Ingrid too), and Madeleine is pretty though a bit more popular in our area - same for Georgina, and I'd agree with you about the royal baby. Not such a fan of Blythe, it feels more American and less timeless than your others.

The only one I'm not keen on from your list is Blythe.

We almost had Henrietta and it was a delivery room decision in the end. I think the very posh connotations put me off but it's a lovely sounding name.

Georgina is the only one I like.

I really like Blythe.

Love Henrietta!

I like Clarissa. She can be Clara for short.
