Girl sibling for Henrietta

[FrogsLegs14]

Wondering if anyone has any ideas...

DD1 is Henrietta (we call her by a shortened version mostly). She was named after a loved one, it's not really a name that is totally our 'style' but we 100% love it now. So now we need a girl's name that goes with it - in the very least I'd like a name that has a shortened version, or nickname opportunities! The MN will be Joy.

Names we like but can't use for various reasons are:
Margaret
Florence
Beatrice
Matilda

I'm also keen to avoid other names that are feminizations of male names (like Georgina, for example).

Any suggestions welcome!

I know two Henriettas. One with a sister called Esther and the other with sisters, Josephine, Geraldine, and Margaret.

I don't think that was too helpful, sorry.

Alexandra?
Elizabeth?
Annabelle?

Are any of these along the right lines?

[fruitpastille]

Rosamund, Rosa
Hermione (surely there is a nn?)
Esme
Alexandra or Phillipa but too masculine?

Eleanor? Harriet?

Was going to say Edwina but doesn't fit your criteria. Sarah? Emma?

When I was little I always wanted 3 girls. To be called Harriet, Henrietta and Roberta. Roberta joy sound nice I think.

Elizabeth comes to mind.

I know it's close to Margaret, but what about:
Eleanor? Isabelle? Juliette? Marguerite?

[Cutteduppumpkin]

I only meant the last one was like Margaret

Harriet.

But they will become known as Hattie and Henny... .not that that is a bad thing!

I saw Henrietta and thought Isobel/Isabelle (Izzy or Belle). Don't know why, but I think they sound nice together. Isobel Joy works too.

Evelyn
Rita
Alice
Emily

My first thought was Josephine, which is obviously a feminisation, but I take it you are trying to avoid two 'boyish' nicknames? Well, Josephine would be Josie which isn't boyish.

[Ohmydarlin]

Christabel or Clementine go nicely with Henrietta and both fit well with your middle name Joy.

[Ikeameatballs]

Matilda
Susannah
Loveday
Cordelia
Rebecca

[AbiRoad]

Penelope would work well. Could be penny, Nell, poppy etc

[RegularVoltaire]

Not Harriet ...Harriet is essentially a shortened form of Henrietta, isn't it?

Cassandra
Edith
Louisa
Lucia
Juliet

I also like the suggestion of Hermione

[HoneyandRum]

Julia

[YoDiggity]

Rosamund

Marguerite is much prettier and more elegant that Margaret.

Cordelia

Cecelia

Penelope

Diana (I am feeling a revival of this is imminent - don;t know why!)
