I love it! Did you mean to spell it Henreitta or was that just a spelling mistake?

I think of a pottery hippo I painted. It was orange with white spots. Her name is Henrietta. I'm serious. My cousin made one named Humphrey.
I think Henrietta reminds me of a shriveled up old woman, who's unhappy and wants to die. Of course, this comes after thinking about my Hippo. She's at our coffee shop, on the counter.
That name, would be mocked. I know, it's horrible but it would not be accepted in today's society.

I personally love old, classic names. Henrietta is what my mother calls me sometimes... But I don't know why, haha.
Either way, I personally love the name, but you'd have to put it with a more modern middle name in case she doesn't like her first name, she can go by her middle name.

I have a bit of a soft spot for this name because it was my mothers aunts name, but she was always called Reta (Rita) for short and one of my middle names is Reta after her.
I wouldn't call a child that though.

It's a very old name , i guess it would be o.k.
I personality would keep looking for some thing else more modern....

Sounds like a puppet on Mr Roger's neighborhood. Is that still in syndicate? If it is, and her classmate can make the connection, she'll get picked on...a lot!

I once knew of a Henrietta and her nickname was Henri. If you like that, go for it.

I think it's lovely, and not something you'd expect in this day and age. Very classy.
