[Opinions] Henrietta

Argh, I think I'm going off Henrietta! I'm a little fickle when it comes to my top 3, and Henrietta is sliding out. My poor future little Etta is probably weeping right now. I don't know, she's feeling a little unnecessarily frilly and elaborated, where I used to find her spunky and fresh.

Turn me back on / turn me completely off Henrietta? wdyt?

I love Henrietta! Although the name's quite lofty, it yields a variety of humbling nicknames (e.g. Etta, Etty, Hattie, Hetty, etc.).

I have to be honest and say that I used to think that Henrietta was a horrible name, I really disliked it. Now it's grown on me and I actually think it sounds lovely and sophisticated. Etta is a cute nn too. :)

I think Henrietta is a silly girl.:)
She always seems to be in movies and books.
I think you shoudl keep it. Henrietta is a cute name and Etta is a GREAT MN. :)

I love Harriet, especially Hattie. Completely different (to me) from Henrietta. Harriet is cuter.

I much prefer Harriet over Henrietta.

But I do like Henrietta too.
