Nice classic names

[dementedma]

Love James.

[Flymetothestars]

James but love both

[TooFrickinHot]

James!

Henry just makes me think "horrid" or that king that beheaded his wives..

[Peachbubble]

James

[sweetnosugar]

Henry, just prefer it to James.
All the James’ I know get called Jim, even a little 3 year old, not to my taste.

[MindyStClaire]

Both lovely, but James is my favourite boys name.

[SomeWateryTart]

[DramaAlpaca]

James is my favourite boys' name.

I like Henry too, but not as much as James.

[Mum2beSept2020]

Both are nice but I prefer James

[RedCatBlueCat]

There seem to be a handful of James' at each age.
There are very few Henry's mid primary upwards, but loads in Reception /nursery. Henry sometimes gets called the much more popular Harry.

Both are great names (why do you think I know the distribution round here!).

[FourPlasticRings]

James. To my mind, Henry is a hoover.

[Shouldbedancingyeah]

Henry

[Neon7]

Are these your final 2? If it has to be between these names then Henry wins

[June628]

James

[WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat]

If your surname is Hoover then Henry, if its Dyson then James.

[RuthW]

Both lovely. I'd go with James

[CrockyBetter]

James

[HollyHocks13]

I have a Henry and if I'd had another boy, he would have been James.
Not very helpful I know but they're both lovely strong classic names

[123Dancewithme]

Both are lovely. Henry has increased in popularity in recent years while James has always been quite popular.
