My all time favourite boys name I'm trying to persuade oh. I thought it was around 30 in top 100 now seen it's no.18 (possibly higher again in August when new stats out).
How many do you know? Will there be 3 in each class?

Just one, he's 5 months and in Kent. It's one of my all time favourites too but sadly ruled out as our surname begins with H and makes it sound like a cartoon character!

I know 3

Jacksonyellow · 13/06/2015 08:46

I don't know any. I know loads of Harrys though. I'm not sure how many of those Harrys are actually Henrys on the birth certificate.

Number 18 will mean that one in every 120ish baby boys will be called Henry. So you'd be pretty unlucky to have one in the same class in primary school.

And even if you do it doesn't matter!.

I have a Henry and he's the only one in our primary school in the south east.

Certain that's what I'm worried about! Are they all over the country or in your particular home city/town?

One 2yo Henry. I'm in NW England.

Flingmoo · 13/06/2015 08:33

I know about 20 babies and none of them are Henry.

thecertaintyofchance · 13/06/2015 08:31

The last 4 baby boys I know all named Henry. On holiday over half term EVERY small boy seemed to be called Henry. I think it's heading into the top 5 if that bothers you.

Two, I'm in SE England.

meglet · 13/06/2015 08:30

One, Hampshire.

WorldsBiggestGrotbag · 13/06/2015 08:29

One

FrogletinaBallerina · 13/06/2015 08:28

Three - I'm in the South West.

TheoreticalOrder · 13/06/2015 08:27

One who is 11 and one who is 7. Don't really know many under 5s.

There are zillions of Harrys in the DCs primary school.

Mitzi50 · 13/06/2015 08:25

Several - it's popular in my part of SE

littlemisstax · 13/06/2015 08:20

One, aged 3, SE

LovelyWeatherForDucks · 13/06/2015 07:54

Two baby ones in the last year, SE

withalittlebitofluck · 13/06/2015 07:51

Roomba · 13/06/2015 07:50

One (N Lancashire).

I really, really wanted to call DS2 Henry - but hs father hated the name so much I couldn't really (though was still tempted!).
