Sorry, but I think it is terrible. It's the sort of name that 'celebs' who are trying to sound all 'way out and cool' would choose. Awful imho.

I know three Hendricks.

Please, no.

I prefer it to Henry as I'm so bored with those boring names, but even so I'd be embarrassed calling out Hendrix in Tesco. I'm too conservative in my appearance (not views!) but you have to be a bit quirky to get away with Hendrix. JMO

Ugh no!

Like the poster above said its trying too hard to be cool! It's like patsy and Liam calling their son Lennon - really naff!!

No it's awful, sorry but if you must have it make it a middle name.

Meglet · 13/09/2013 17:03

A big yes as a middle name.

Not sure if it's just a bit too much for a first name though.

I wouldn't do it, but it's quite cool.

DH was dead set on Zappa for about a week.

I know a twenty two year old and a five year old called Hendrix, both are really nice, great name.

I also know a couple of boys called Dury.
