Comments for the name Henrietta

This name was first introduced to the British Isles by Henriette Marie (1606-69), the French princess who married Charles I. She was known to the English as Queen Henrietta Maria.

I think Henrietta IS THE WORST NAME EVER MADE! It's absoloutly horrible and it just gives you the nickname "Hen". It's definitely #1 on my worst names list.

Henrietta "Henni" Onodi is a famous Hungarian gymnast and medalist in the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games.

Henrietta is an absolutely beautiful name! I don't see how anyone could hate it. If it didn't sound so old-fashioned, I would seriously consider it for a child.

In the 2005 fim "Red Eye", the title character of Lisa (played by actress Rachel McAdams) bore the middle name of Henrietta.

I love the name Henrietta, only because I was great friends with a girl named Henrietta "Henri" Daniels, and she was the most vivacious, eccentric, devious, energetic girl I ever knew. We'll all miss you Henri.

I believe that Henrietta is the name of the second von Trapp daughter in the movie "Sound of Music".

The second sister was MARTA. Or, if you mean from the oldest to youngest, LOUISA.

Henrietta was in the Sound of Music though but I doubt she was a sister.

Henrietta is a gorgeous name. :) I like it!

Very snooty and pretentious sounding to my ears. Knowing the present cult trend for such names, there will be an increase in little girls saddled with Henrietta, all of whom have my pity.

Henrietta is also the Slovak form.

Actually the Slovak form is Henrieta with name day on 28th November. Common nickname is Heňa.

Princess Mary and prince Frederick named their little girl Isabella Henrietta Magaratte because Mary Donaldson's mum's name is Henrietta.

This is a very lucky name.

Henrietta is just wonderful and I would love to see it revived.

I quite dislike this name. It sounds ugly, pretentious, and outdated. Henrietta makes me think of angry chickens.

Henrietta is a Goth girl on "South Park".

Personally, I think this is a little bit long, and I prefer the diminutive Harriet, but I really love the nickname for this, which is Hetty. :)

I like it, but I don't think I would name my child this. Overall it's very pretty but I wouldn't want people making chicken noises at it.

Henrietta is the given name of a famous chicken with the birth defect Polymelia - she was born with four legs.

This is the name of one of the characters in Yu Aida's manga (Japanese graphic novel/comic) Gunslinger Girl.

My name is Henrietta and it means 'Leader of the household'. Henrietta is abbreviated to Hetty. I love my name and am proud to be named after Henrietta Maria.

Though far from being one of my favorites, I have grown to like this name since I made may comment about it. I like the Dutch nickname Henny for it.

It sounds so pretentious, and yet also redneck ish. -etta names only work in Italian and Spanish. Otherwise it just sounds ditzy.

I would use Herta as a nickname (or Hetty).

Henrietta "Hetty" Lange is the Operations Manager at NCIS in Los Angeles (TV series).

I actually prefer Henrietta to Harriet, but that really isn't saying much, as I dislike both. While I think Harriet is too masculine/macho, Henrietta is too... much.

"Henrietta" is an irresistibly gorgeous name... furthermore, "Hetty" is a darling, classy nickname. They both possess a golden old-world, cosmopolitan charm that the atrocities of contemporary "kre8tiv" names will never hold. Earlier this evening I was finishing up my purchases at the market and the cashier's nametag said "Hetty." That of course intrigued me, which lead to finding out that her full first is "Henrietta." Simply stunning.

Czech pronunciation is "HEN-ree-ET-a".

Henrietta Leaver was Miss America 1935.

Henrietta is an all right name. It makes me think of Henrietta aka Hen aka Duck-Face from Four Weddings and a Funeral, but it's quite nice sounding. But I prefer Harriet.

Also the youngest daughter of Henriette Marie of France and Charles I was named Henrietta Anne of England. She married Philippe I, Duke of Orleans.

Henrietta (1669-1669) was the daughter of King James II of Great Britain and his first wife Anne Hyde.

Takes some getting used to, but I think this is a pretty name. Definitely better than Harriet! I think Henri is a cute nickname :)

Henrietta Lacks is the originator of the "HeLa" cell line used in medical research. She was born Loretta Pleasant in 1920, and died of cervical cancer in 1951. A biopsy of cells from her cervical tumor were taken from her without her consent and continued growing in cell cultures.

Henrietta is a song by the Fratellis!
