Henrietta?

[Londongirl84]

Is it a bit old fashioned? What do you all think?

I love it! We had it on our list. I would say it's traditional and classic rather than 'old fashioned'

I think it's beautiful

I also love the related nickname 'hetty'

I don't think it's old-fashioned. Not if you mean granny-chic.

Don't like it though, seems a bit German and harsh to me.

Hetty is a Hoover to me.

I like it

I also love Hettienne

I absolutely love Henrietta! It's right on the very top of my girls list! It's so pretty and elegant without being too posh. I love it!

Not over keen on Henrietta, too many syllables imo and too florid.

But I know a Henriette and much prefer her name.

I love Henrietta, but remember to think about nicknames as it's unlikely everyone is going to keep calling her Henrietta all of the time.

Really dislike it, even more than Harriet and that's saying something.

It's so spiky!

I love it.

Great name!

Tis my MIL, would like it as a name far more if it weren't!

She has always been called Etta.

I love it, and agree hetty is lovely too. I also love harriet.

I don't like it. Actually I've never really liked it but at the weekend I heard a mother shout her dd and she trilled out "Henrietttttttttttaaaaaaaaaahhhhh"
And it sounded so harsh and ugly.

Please don't. Or if you do, use a nickname....like Jane or something.

Just check it doesn't run with your surname to give an amusing "Henry ate a...."

Otherwise I think it's beautiful

Not a fan, sorry.

Tricky one- always liked it but have reservations.... Perhaps as a middle name?!

I love it, and love hetty as a nn :)

Meh...Henry-et-aaaaaaaaah

bit posh for my liking

I truly think it's awful. A comedy name, like Ermintrude or Griselda..

Do people really love it?

I like it a lot, and Hetty is a cute nn.

It really depends on the surname. If the surname is a noun, no way. It'll sound like Henry-ate-a..... I knew someone whose parents made this mistake. Her surname was Mann.

I'm not very keen. I find it a bit clumsy, one of the less successful feminine versions of a boy's name. And as other posters pointed out there's the "Henry ate a....." aspect.

How about Helena?

Love Hetty !

Love love love Henrietta! We all know the name but rarely meet one. Same number of consonants as Isabella which is tremendousl popular.
