No...Horrid Henry does spring to mind though. However,I do like the name!

No. I do associate it with royalty.

I know a little Henry. Great name. His mum worried it was 'boring' but he's really the first I've come across.

No but we did have a red bag that came with someones Henry hoover and took very cute photo of my sisters son (Henry) sitting in the bag when he was about 18 months!

No, I think of an 80's children's TV series called Helping Henry. The theme tune contained the immortal line, 'And so we cross the universe disguised as dining chairs!'
