Henrietta

It is a rather long name, but this name is a classic that would age well as opposed to some of the names that are currently extremely popular. This name fits several different personalities, it is feminine, but it is also strong, daring, and bold. I really like the nickname "Nettie" for this name.

With Henry coming back why not Henrietta? It fits in the formula (vintage + at least two possible not a stretch nicknames + longer then five letters + romantic sounding) that comes with most girls names and it sounds lovely out loud.

I love this name and am almost certain we'll use it when baby is here in July. We also like the shortened version of Hetty. I already have a Monty and and Elsie so this old fashioned but recognisable name will go nicely 😃 I can't wait till baby is here so I can start telling everyone her name!

This name is so beautiful. I absolutely love it. 😃 💝 Xxx

I named my daughter Henrietta Cate in 2013 as it is a beloved family name. She is known as both Henrietta and Henrie. I anticipated more "disapproval" from people, but the overwhelming response by people learning her name is delight. It's a great name with pluck!

Also the first associations that come to mind are The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and the fictional little assassin girl Henrietta from the anime Gunslinger Girl!

Never had much of an opinion on Henrietta besides that it sounded a bit dated. After reading Maggie Stiefvater's series "The Raven Cycle", it's one of my favourite names. Now whenever I hear it, I can't help but think of the small, impossible town full of magic and mystery in the middle of nowhere, Virginia.

I can only think of chickens

This is my daughter's name. We call her Petit Hen most of the time since she's so little.

I loove this name, but my grand-father is called Heinrich. He isn't evil or anything, just grumpy & we aren't very close...

Plus, if we start with the first child being named after a relative I feel like we have to do the same if we have other childen. Which I don't want. So our daughter won't be a Henrietta, I guess :(

I love this GLORIOUS name! I would use the nickname Etta or Hattie.

I don't see Henrietta making a serious comeback, however, I can see the appeal. While not a personal favorite of mine, Henrietta is a respectable choice. The name is familiar yet unusual.

Some very strong sounding male names don't readily lend themselves to be feminised in my opinion. This always sounded chuncky & old to me

Henrietta doesn't seem starchy to me; she seems plucky like Eloise. A rollicking good name.

This is pretty, but I like Harriet more. For some reason I also like Harrietta. Either way you can call her Hattie!

I love this name, i know a sweet 21 year old girl named Hemy, her real name is Henrietta. She's from Manchester, so i always associate that name with someone with an english accent, a soft voice and big strong hands. Quite the guitarist and singer too she is. <3 u Hemy.

Really like this name! Downside is that it can seem rather long and fussy, but it's great that it has so many great nicknames like Hattie, Nettie, Etta, so many others. Ultimately though, I'd most likely not use the name- too vintage as opposed to just the right amount of vintage for me.

I love it! Our little Henrietta Jane is called Hattie.

I really love this name. I have a feeling this could make a comeback in the near future.

We love the name! Our little girl is named Henrietta June and we call her Henri, it fits her perfectly.

I think this name's okay. I recently put it on my guilty pleasure name list. Any time I hear Henrietta, I think of the anime Gunslinger Girl.

I used to really dislike this name. Recently, however, I've been crushing on it.

I heard this name get teased on tv one time so that just reiterated why I would never use it. (Besides the fact that it's ugly and old)

This name is so not my style, but I love it anyway for some reason! :3
