So I have posted before on behalf of my sister but we still have not found the perfect name.
She is expecting her third child, a sibling to Kevin and Maisie, if it’s a boy it will be Patrick William Walter.
If this baby is a girl she is leaning towards Henrietta, nn Etta (she also likes Hettie and Henri), but she’s not completdly sold on it yet and is would love suggestions as well as thoughts/opinions on Henrietta.
She likes longer, traditional and familiar but uncommon names with nn options. Many of the names she loves are far too popular or too close to sister Maisie:
Edith nn Edie
Evelyn nn Evie
Sadie
Maeve
Hermione - too Harry Potter
Guinevere- next top choice after Henrietta but still not sold on it
Baby will have 2 middle names, suggestions for all three names welcome! And of course, thoughts on Henrietta.
I love [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]! It has a really charming, [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and [name_f]Louise[/name_f]-like vintage feel and some lovely nicknames
I think it goes well with [name_m]Kevin[/name_m] but not so much with [name_f]Maisie[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f], [name_f]Agnes[/name_f], [name_f]Evelina[/name_f], [name_f]Zadie[/name_f], [name_f]Mavis[/name_f], [name_f]Maeva[/name_f], [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Hermina[/name_f]/[name_f]Ermina[/name_f]/[name_f]Ermine[/name_f], Wilehlmina, [name_f]Winifred[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Francine[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Mariana[/name_f], [name_f]Eliana[/name_f], [name_f]Elvira[/name_f], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f], [name_f]Benedetta[/name_f], [name_f]Enrica[/name_f], [name_f]Arietta[/name_f]
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]/[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
Thank you for your suggestions! [name_m]Kevin[/name_m] and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] are actually family names and [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] is too, along with a couple of others that I mentioned and so while my sister isn’t definitely going to use another family name it doesn’t matter too much that [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] don’t really go together because of the family connection.
The front runner at this stage is [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f].
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] is a name which I think my sister will love and hasn’t considered, probably only as a middle but I’ll suggest it to her!
I love [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f], and many of your sisters other considerations! I think the -etta ending adds energy, and [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] comes across as a feisty name with lots of personality, a little rebellious and mischievous. I think it goes fine with both [name_m]Kevin[/name_m] and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f]. I’d also suggest:
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]/[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]! She’s got lots of great choices there actually, but if she’s not completely sold on [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f], perhaps [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]? It’s quite similar in sound, and might be what she’s looking for?
We definitely prefer [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] though [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] was considered, [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f], somehow seems more feminine and we think it has better nicknames but my sister will be very happy to see that people do like [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]!
I love the suggestions, escpecially [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] but unfortunately it’s unusable for us as we live near a city called [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] (with sharp Ts) but not with [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] and [name_m]Kevin[/name_m], only because they seem so down-to-earth, approachable names and [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] is so grand ([name_m]Patrick[/name_m] fits in perfectly, though).
I really like the suggestion of [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], it’d be wonderful with [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] and [name_m]Kevin[/name_m].
I love [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]. However, [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] seems too grand next to the down to earth [name_m]Kevin[/name_m] and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f]. I think that the more grounded [name_f]Etta[/name_f] will be a better match with [name_m]Kevin[/name_m] and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f].
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] has been one of my guilty pleasures for awhile, but I don’t think I’d be brave enough to use it. As much as I love it and want to say yes, I’m not sure it goes with [name_m]Kevin[/name_m] and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] to be honest.
