And what age roughly are they?

Just thinking that possibly it might be quite good with DD (Honor) Two 'H' aside what do you think?

Only one of about 5 days old.

GreatJoanUmber · 05/10/2013 11:41

Home Counties here and I know 4 under five.
Also agree with Toby on the 'onor and 'enry thing; it's hard to wrap your tongue around that!

Only messing about toby I'm quite posh too Grin how is your pregnancy going? Remember me from the Jan thread Farmer ?

It's a bit of a tongue twister I give you all that. Great name Henry, maybe need to try and find something less popular and 'H' base.

Its a nice name. Essex - i know about three under fives...

Humphrey?

Thisisaeuphemism · 06/10/2013 19:24

I only know adult Toby's .

Smugfearnleyshittingstool · 06/10/2013 19:50

We are in sw, ( glos) and there is only one in my ds school, none in my dd private school. I love the name! Harry is very popular though so some of the harrys may be Henry on paper and pushing the stats up.

It's a great mans name I think, cure for a little one but a proper name for later on.

TheMumsRush · 06/10/2013 19:54

One. My ds. 9 months :)

Department · 06/10/2013 20:06

I'm in SE, I know few Henrys and I know a hand-full of little boys called Enree to their friends and sometimes teachers Shock

Department · 06/10/2013 20:08

Weird how as they get older they start to become "H" pronounced haitch.

People round 'ere can only say H when it's not supposed to be there!

Ihatepeas · 06/10/2013 21:48

I know one.. he is 2 and mostly called Harry.

havatry · 07/10/2013 19:05

I only know one and he's 38.

MyNameIsSuz · 07/10/2013 19:13

I'm in Oxfordshire, so right in between SE and SW, and I know tons of Henrys about my age (so late 20s to early 30s) but no small Henrys. I have a 1 year old and know loads of babies, no Henrys. I disagree with the poster who said it would be tricky with Honor because you don't pronounce the H, I think that's why it would be ok - they don't sound as though they start with the same letter. I'm with your DH though, I love Hamish! And know no small Hamishes, one grown up one.

Thanks everyone.

Would be Henry not Harry. I've been saying I for a week now and haven't dropped the 'H' however he's not here yet to bit hard to tell.

Family member has just called new puppy...Hamish! Typical

I only know one - my DS (just turned 2).

FloraPost · 08/10/2013 22:46

I know 4 Henrys born in the last year - very popular.

MummyPig24 · 09/10/2013 12:28

I know 1. He is nearly 6.

Fenton · 09/10/2013 12:32

South East Coast here, one Henry in DS2's Y2 class, - that's it.

I like Honour too, how lovely.

Clargo55 · 13/10/2013 19:10

SW here. Know two Henry's 2 months and 6 months old.

ginzillas · 13/10/2013 21:20
