Honestly?

I'd say it's a definite no, even as Henry.

Henry Porter is OK IMO.

It's too close.

However in Scotland we pronounce "r" so no, it doesn't sound the same.

No
I'd go for something completely different unless you want to give him a lightened shaped scar for life

Do you think Henry Porter would be okay? We were unsure about using Henry NN Harry, so we obviously love Henry too (but won't force Harry NN)

Porter doesn't sound the same as Potter in my accent but I do think it's a bit close. Sorry.

No. Not a great idea. I would pick another first name. Henry?

MyKingdomForBrie · 13/10/2016 02:17

I would say no...

I assume for the Scottish it sounds exactly the same? Grin
