Not a fan, although I think Henri would be a cute nn for a little girl.

Actually, I love it.  It's one of my favorites.

Does anybody remember the "All of a Kind Family" books about the Jewish family in NYC in the early 1900s?  One of the daughters was Henrietta and they called her Henny.  She was my favorite character (she was the troublemaker) and I have loved that name ever since.

However, I decided that I could never use it.  I think it's too old-fashioned and I am afraid a little Henrietta would have a hard time these days.

How about not?

I'm not a fan.

I also associate it with Henrietta Pussycat from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.  But hey, my opinion shouldn't really matter!

OMG thank you so much!!! I loved that book when I was little (didn't realize there was more than one), and for the past few weeks I've been driving myself nuts trying to remember what they were called! So glad I opened this post

Yay!  I'm so glad I'm not the only one.  I think there are three or four books.  All-of-a-kind Family Uptown, All-of-a-kind Family Downtown and a couple more.  They're really good books.

I thought of Henrietta Pussycat as well.

My ex's grandma was a Henrietta who went by Nettie. She was crazy as a bag of cats. That's all I can think of.

I actually like it, though I probably wouldn't use it...

newportbride715

I think it's cute.

MrsTeague

I like it with the nicknames Hattie or Etta. WAY better than something like Kayleigh or Briley IMO.

My great aunt is 95 and an amazing woman and Henrietta, and my grandfather iis Henry, so we considered it but DH ultimately vetoed.  I would use it.

I really just don't like it, sorry.?

NMS, too old fashioned for me.

Temp950106187509203

I think it's absolutely lovely.  Lends itself to a ton of cute nicknames and is very elegant/distinguished sounding.
