Henrietta

[elisabethanrose]

For the girls we would need a shortened version.
Hen, Henny?
What do you think?

Henrietta isn't my taste sorry
etta ??

in these days of homogeneity of the sexes, you could always shorten it to Henry (or even Henri)

No to all versions

Really like Henrietta!

I really like this - Hettie? Hattie maybe.

lovely name

I quite like it but it will be shortened and I don't like any of the possibilities. I think Harriet is prettier.

My Neice was named Henrietta after a much loved Great great Aunt. She was so chuffed, and we shortened it to Hetti.

My sister is Henriettea, shortened to Henny or Hen Pen

I like Henrietta and I think you could shorten it to Hattie or Hettie - both of which are rather nice and then it's a 'proper' name for when she's running NATO or whatever.

I absolutely LOVE this name, and it was on our list for dd as my nan and my mum are called Henrietta.
For some reason (dh I think) we did not call her this, and whilst I love dd's name I bitterly regret not going with Henrietta.

Henry (whichever spelling you like), Hettie or even Hattie - but Etta is also perfectly acceptable - look at the famous and fabulous blues singer Etta James.

I don't like it sorry
reminds me of fat sloanes with pink faces and ruffly white collars and pearls in the 80s

at CD.
My nan and mum are neither, I have to say. We are dutch, no sloanness here

Isn't Hattie short for Harriet?

It's on our list too - we'd shorten to henny!

can it be shortened to nettie (sp?) too?

my friends dd is called Heniretta and they shorten it to Etta. I think it's really pretty.

Don't worry, Heniretta isn't another version - meant Henrietta of course

Love it. I used to look after a little girl with this name and it grew on me enormously then as she was so endearing.

She was usually known as Henny or Henny Penny affectionately.

I also like Hettie, Netta, although not so keen on Etta (don't like the only one I know which is probably why).

Great name, also like Henriette (like the Casanova character). Hettie is very cute too.
