I've really been starting to like it lately. Opinions? Also, do you have a preferred nn for it? I like Henri best, then Etta, then Hetty, but I don't dislike any of them.

Edited for spelling.

I adore Henrietta and delight in Hetty and Etta as nickname.

I've always kind of like it. I think it has a very sweet but mature feeling about it. And some of the most adorable nicknames! My favorite is Hettie, but I really like Etta too. I don't like Henri for a girl at all.

I think it's a little frilly and over the top. I like Harriet a lot more.

I think Henny would be a cute nickname for Henrietta.

I do like Henny. My only reservation is that my best friend's baby is Penelope nn Penny. As they would most likely be together frequently, I'm a little worried about the Henny Penny association, though it's not altogether an unpleasant association.

I like Henri / Henrie the best, then Etta, and I dislike Hettie / Hetty

I really like Henrietta, in Germany I would go for Jette as a nickname.

Jette is cute! I'd never heard it before. :)

It's pretty, but I can't help but think of a chicken...
