HelpRe: Harriet & Henrietta
in reply to a message by Billina
I think they're both horrible. Henrietta just sounds ugly, and the etta ending is very cliched. Take Grandpa's name, stick etta onto the end and voila, Honoring.
harriet also has an ugly sound. Hairy It. And while Henrietta calls to mind Mister Rogers's kitty puppet Henrietta Pussycat and her annoying "meow meow meow" talk, Harriet makes me think of a smart-aleck, obnoxious person. Like Harriet the Spy.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
