Recently I was reading a [name]Charles[/name] [name]Darwin[/name] biography, and he and his wife [name]Emma[/name] Wedgwood had a daughter named [name]Henrietta[/name] nicknamed [name]Etty[/name]. What image do you get when you think of [name]Henrietta[/name]? Is it starchy and stuffy, or do you like it? What about the nickname [name]Etty[/name]? [name]Do[/name] you have any middle name suggestions? I particularly like [name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Austen[/name], but this is not solid. Any comments are appreciated! Thanks in advance! 
[name]Henrietta[/name] is an awesome name that I adore. The image I get, though, is of a hen in a chicken coop.
If you’re a biology lover, have you thought about [name]Linnea[/name]?
I love [name]Henrietta[/name], but I adore those old stuffy names. I think when you see them on a cute tea cup human, they get all new life. It’s quirky and fun, and it ages well. I can imagine [name]Henrietta[/name] the Artist with a messy bun and black leggings, or [name]Henrietta[/name] the College Student with thick-rimmed glasses and a biology textbook tucked in her arms.
Also consider [name]Henriette[/name], and pronouncing it the French way, Onri-ette/Ahn-ri-ette.
[name]Etty[/name] is a cute nickname. I think spelling it “[name]Ettie[/name]” fits a bit better with the name. [name]Austen[/name]'s cute, too, though on the trendier side if that’s something you care about! Obviously, there’s the nickname “[name]Etta[/name]”, but that might be too old fashioned seeming for you?
[name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Elise[/name], [name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Renee[/name], [name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Frances[/name], [name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Lenore[/name], [name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Joel[/name]
I love the name [name]Henrietta[/name]! While the name may bring to mind a pioneer girl, I do not have any strong preconceptions about the looks or personality of a [name]Henrietta[/name]. The girl and name would blend to create a unique image. I like [name]Etty[/name], but [name]Etta[/name] even more.
I like these combos:
[name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Elise[/name] ([name]Elise[/name] was my grandmother’s mn, so it feels old-fashioned to me - in a good way.)
[name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Mae[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name] is amazing. I’m don’t really care for [name]Etty[/name], but to each his own. I like [name]Hattie[/name] and [name]Etta[/name]. [name]Henrietta[/name] [name]June[/name] is at the top of my own list, so I don’t want to suggest it to you… 
However, I think a simple, single-syllable middle is perfect with [name]Henrietta[/name]. What about [name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Lark[/name]?
I love [name]Henrietta[/name]. I would prefer [name]Hetty[/name] over [name]Etty[/name]. I picture a hipstery little girl when I hear [name]Henrietta[/name].
I love this name! DH liked it for about a week with this baby and then was over it (due to it sounding too much like [name]Violet[/name]). I prefer the nn [name]Henri[/name]. [name]Henry[/name] for a boy is semi-popular here, but I am not tripping over them at the playgrounds or anything so the popularity of [name]Henry[/name] wouldnt bother me.
I could easily picture this on a little girl. A few years ago, a toddler named [name]Matilda[/name] was pretty much unheard of, but like other clunky-funky old names people have warmed up to them and I think it sounds darling.
I think [name]Henrietta[/name] is a very pretty name, if a bit formal sounding. However, with cute nicknames like [name]Etty[/name], [name]Etta[/name], [name]Ria[/name], Hena, [name]Netta[/name] etc…it makes it so much cuter on a little girl!
For middle (something that doesn’t make it sound too old):
[name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Fay[/name]/[name]Faye[/name]/[name]Fae[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Louise[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Wren[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Vivian[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Jade[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Angelou[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Clio[/name]/[name]Cleo[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
I love [name]Henrietta[/name]. It’s a little stuffy, but I think that’s due to being under-utilized.
My perfect [name]Henrietta[/name] combo would be [name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Rose[/name].
I love [name]Henrietta[/name]. I recently found out it was the name of one of my GG grandmothers. It does not go with my surname (starts with an H) but I would love to meet a little girl with this name.
