Love it.

LOVE IT! My wonderful friend has this name, she is Henrietta on her birth certificate.

Twickerhun · 27/04/2020 13:30

I love it but I do automatically think of Spanish separatists

Love it!

Love this!

Very pretty. The only Etta I've ever heard of is Etta James.

toughgetsgoing · 27/04/2020 15:08

it's sweet

Anappleaday1 · 27/04/2020 15:09

Love it!

Whatsyourflava · 27/04/2020 15:10

Love it so much xx

Divebar · 27/04/2020 15:11

I know an Etta but she’s Odette on her birth certificate.

LotusClover · 27/04/2020 15:17

It's a bit short and harsh sounding IMO, sorry

wonkylegs · 27/04/2020 15:20

I have a good friend who's daughter is called this and it suits her. She has Henrietta on her birth certificate but is called Etta by everyone.

toughgetsgoing · 27/04/2020 15:34

its better for a nickname though.. its a bit short and like 'et al' - not sure if your dd will like it

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 27/04/2020 15:45

Horrible. However I'm very much in the minority. It's raved about on here

Elouera · 27/04/2020 15:46

I knew a lady from Sierra Leone called Etta. Not sure if its popular there, or a shortened version of something? I prefer Odette though.

DramaAlpaca · 27/04/2020 15:47

Horrid and harsh sounding.

Toilenstripes · 27/04/2020 15:47

No. It just seems like a non name to me. Like Arla.

TheWashingMachine · 27/04/2020 15:48

I don't like it much either, I think it is ugly.

TickTockBaby · 27/04/2020 15:49

Love it! 🌸

nocoolnamesleft · 27/04/2020 15:51

I'm afraid I'm another one who immediately thinks of the Basque separatists.

eleventy3isthemagicnumber · 27/04/2020 15:52

Love it!

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 27/04/2020 17:45

I'm really sorry but I just don't get why this name has become so popular, I'm really not a fan sorry
