....do you think of Mr Hankey the Xmas poo from South Park??

I love it as a nn for Henry, and as DP is Canadian, we think it would go down well over there and give a N American element.

Wanky hanky sorry

PassAFist · 18/05/2014 03:49

I'm in Canada. I think of Breaking Bad first. And Hank Aaron (baseball player) and Hank Williams.

LettertoHerms · 18/05/2014 02:44

I don't think of any others except a nickname for Henry.

It might go over well in Canada, however, it's not a name I would use here in the US as it has a bit of a "hick" reputation.

Though 'wank' never crossed my mind.

Lostinasupermarket · 18/05/2014 02:38

Esoterically I think of Leonard Cohen Grin. Specifically his Tower Of a Song (I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get? Hank Williams hasn't answered yet).

AngryBeaver · 18/05/2014 02:04

Breaking Bad, Hank Hill...but mostly wank. I'm incredibly childish though, if that helps?

WandaDoff · 18/05/2014 01:49

Hill
Then Marvin.

trixymalixy · 18/05/2014 01:47

Waltermittythesequel · 14/05/2014 22:15

Then starvin'.

And now I'm hungry Sad

YolandiFuckinVisser · 14/05/2014 22:14

Hank the storekeeper from the beano (the 3 bears or little plum???)

And breaking bad as a secondary hank.

Pimpf · 14/05/2014 22:14

Hank Williams jr for me

ElBombero · 14/05/2014 22:12

Wank was my first thought

DrFunkesFamilyBandSolution · 14/05/2014 22:11

Breaking Bad.
hill
Wank

Hal?

Darmok · 14/05/2014 22:10

Wank. Sorry.

Hal is great though.

magpiegin · 14/05/2014 21:14

I immediately thought wank. If so many people on this thread did then so will school children.

BikeRunSki · 14/05/2014 20:10

Marvin

LegArmpits · 14/05/2014 20:09

Breaking Bad.

ConcreteElephant · 14/05/2014 19:59

DNephew is Henry, born in the US but his DM is English (Dad is American). He has stayed Henry but I know they considered Huck as a nn for the US contingent to go with...might that be an option?

burgatroyd · 13/05/2014 12:21

How about Chuck? Larry? Mick? Brett?
