Henrietta / Etta

Steph1673 · January 2011

We had a client today named Henrietta and the name peaked my interest...

What do you think of the the name Henrietta, possible nickname Etta?

Old school name that should stay in the 50's?

Or could it make a cute comeback?

I love it, too. My personal preference for nickname would be Hettie, but I do love Etta, too. We've got this one our our long list, but probably wont use it.

Actually, I like Etta all by itself. It's on my long list. I'm not a huge fan of Henrietta, but it's a good solid name, so I would say go for it!

Thumbs up. Count my vote for Hettie.

I can't believe it, but I actually like it. I usually don't like older names, but that is cute, I like Etta better, very cute NN!

LOVE.

I love the nn Henri, for a girl, too.

I'm sorry, but I think Henrietta is awful. On your name list, Caroline and Claire are beautiful.

I really like Henrietta. Etta would be a cute nn.

Love!!

My only reservation: Harry is a nn for Henry. Although I doubt middle schoolers would pick up on that, I'd be a little nervous that my Henrietta would be picked on for being "hairy"

Exactly this for me too.

Henrietta is horrid.

LOVE Henrietta. We had a doctor when DS was in the NICU, her FN is Henrietta, but she goes by Dr. Hank. Of course, since that's DS' name, I'm biased. Not that I am suggesting Hank as a NN for Henrietta...
