Henrietta?

[zaza86]

This name is growing on me! I have a while to decide, and I thought I was set on something a bit simpler (but I think very beautiful) - Anna. I don't know whether this is a hormonal blip! What do you think? Not so keen on Hetty as a nickname - any other slightly less obvious suggestions? Thanks!

Depends on your social circles.

I prefer Anna . Harriet is a bit old fashioned IMO

Don't like Henrietta at all , but I'm not very fond of " men's names with an Ina or Etta stuck on the end "

I'm impressed by the parents who follow their child around high school / university / work saying " he's not Robbie, he's Robert "

I know an adult Henrietta who normally gets Henry as the nickname from friends. You wouldn't be able to control the nickname once she's at school.

Hen is cute nn.

My mum is a Henrietta, not at all posh and is known as Hetty - she is lovely but I am probably biased :)

Like Henrietta, and it's good there are so many nn choices.

I think Henrietta is a bit more imaginative than Anna which is very safe. Both are nice names but Henrietta will polarise opinions. On the plus side, Henrietta has so many nice options for nn's - my favourite being Etti.

It seems to be very much a marmite name! HuftysTrain your response made me laugh It hasn't put me off though!
