Aww, I like that a lot! I would prefer it as a nickname, but it's still nice on its own. Very refreshing.

It's my sister in law's name. Hubby's family is German. It works for them. I think it's cute, but I'm biased. :)

I like it how it's usually spelled, "Gretta".

That's funny. I've met a couple Greta's but never a Gretta. hmm =) I happen to like the name.

Is it really? :O I've seen Greta, but never Gretta...

I've never seen it spelled that way.

I've never seen it spelled like that, either! Is Gretta very common in a certain country or area? I've only ever seen Greta...

I love it! Then, I am very into German names and have German family, but I'm glad you posted this because I need to add it to my list.

I really like that. I think it's cute on a little girl. It's nice to see a normal name here, not some made-up atrocity.

Cute! It's one of my boyfriend's top names, actually, though it's further down the list for me.

I don't normally like this name at all, but right at this moment, I kind of do because it's different (seldom used here).

It's quite outdated here (The Netherlands) but somehow the way it's pronounced in English gives it a 'fresh' sound or something. I like that.

I like it. I think I would use it as a nickname for Margaret, though... partly because I just love the name Margaret.

LOVE IT! I adore Margaret with the nn Greta.

I hate this name... it sounds so harsh and ugly to me. My boyfriend and I make fun of this name a lot... like I call his car that and he hates it :-p

I like the name...had a German doll named that when I was young. I don't know if I could pull it off on my kid, but it's on our long list.

Not really my tastes, but it sounds adorable on a little girl! And I'd rather see a Greta than another Grace or Olivia or whatever.
