They were both in use in the 19th century so on that basis, yes, they go well enough together. However, Patience isn't a decorative name at all, and Henrietta is positively ornate. I'd be more comfortable with Patience and Harriet.

Henrietta and Patience go pretty well together. There are only a few girl's names that go better with Henrietta or about as well.

I love Henrietta. The only issue I have ever had with it is how it contains Henry within it. I just adore the nn's Hettie and Etta.

---

Patience is nice but not as good as Henrietta. Well it is less my style.

---

If I was making a Henrietta sibset it would be Henrietta, Willemina, and Augustus.

Love it, they go really well together even though I don't like Patience much.

I love Henrietta. It would be way up on my list if I didn't love Harriet more. I think it's perfect with Patience.

There was a Henrietta in my class in primary school who went by "Henny" as a nickname. I always thought it was neat.

I like Henrietta and I don't think I've ever met one. It has a nice vintage charm and I agree with others who said it's stately and solid. Because it's longer and more elaborate with an interesting sound, I also find it to be rather fun. I also like the nickname options of Hetty and Etta.

I wouldn't pair Henrietta with Patience- to me Henrietta sounds vintage or retro and fun, while Patience sounds Puritan and very buttoned-up. They have very different vibes to me.

I love Henrietta! I adore the vintage charm it has, and I think it's such a feisty, energetic name. I generally like -etta names, and Henrietta is wonderful in my opinion. I think it goes well with Patience since they're of a similar style.

I usually find long names ending in -a too frilly for me, but not Henrietta; it seems quite sturdy and sensible and friendly while still having old-fashioned charm, which is pretty much what I'd say about Patience. I like it a lot and think they'd make good sisters.

I think Henrietta is delightful and goes very well with Patience. It has the same old-fashioned, dignified feel to it.

Hetty, Hetta, Hatty and Hatta are charming short versions

I adore Henrietta! It's one of my perennial favorites.

---

I don't intuitively find it complementary to Patience, but the two aren't dissonant together.

Henrietta is delightful beyond measure.

---

Patience is sort of bratty-sounding to me.
