I really like the name Henry for a boy, but a few people have pointed out the old 'Hooray Henry' connotations.
This never crossed my mind, so I was wondering hat the mn jury think.

Lovely!

Thank you! I am glad you all agree.
Now, what about Tabitha for a girl? I love it, and I like Tabby if it gets shortened.
