Henry or Edward?

Edward.

Edward

Edwatd

Henry (by a mile!)

Henry 100%

Henry

Like both a lot, but Henry just edges it.

Henry

(biased because I have a 3 month old Henry)

Edward is nice too though

Edward

Henry is such a dweeb's name.

Whereas Edward is strong.

(no disrespect to anyone with a much loved Henry in their life)

Definitely Edward. I find Henry a bit 'wet'

Henry.

But just by a wee smidgeon. Both are great names.

Henry

@RubysArms not particularly sure how that could be anything other than disrespectful

OP I prefer Henry. There’s more opportunity for shortened versions with Edward. Would that help sway your choice at all?

Edward. I haaaate Henry and can't get over its current popularity. It reminds me of someone really unappealing. (No specific person, just the image that comes to mind when I hear the name!) Edward is nice and has nice nickname options too.

Why do people feel the need to be so rude about names? Surely you can voice your preference without making unpleasant remarks about the other name?

I always think of Horrid Henry, which is awful.
Edward is awesome though.

I know a Henry that’s about a year old now and he’s the most amazing little boy.
My sons middle name is Edward and well he’s a shitbag🤣🤣🤣
I like either name but maybe Edward as Henry is making a come back.?

I love both. My nephew is called one so we'll be using the other if we have a boy next time round.

Does one go better than the other with your surname?

Edward for me.

I know it’s supposed to be very popular again but personally I only know two Henry’s. Both with brothers called Edward as it happens .

There seem to be more Edward/Ted/Teddy here.

Henry by a mile

Edward I don't like at all

I had both on my list but had a girl! I think Edward would just about win for me
