I prefer Henry as a solid, traditional
name.

I really don't like Jonah for some inexpliable reason. Henry is nice though probably more popular if that bothers you.

Henry.

But I'm biased 😉

Henry

Jonah.Jonah.Jonah.
Please use it, I love it but it's the nn of one of DH's best mates plus doesn't sound brilliant with our surname so I couldn't use it.
Henry is nice enough but Jonah is Star Star Star Star Star

Definitely Jonah!

ChewedUpRope · 08/12/2016 17:27

Definitely Jonah.

Jonah.
I've never taught a nice Henry. Some were downright unpleasant.

Isn't Jonah an unlucky name?

Mol1628 · 08/12/2016 18:12

Jonah

Baseballcupcakes · 08/12/2016 18:49

Definitely Jonah. He might get Joe when he's older but that could be a positive, a more unusual full name and more conventional nickname if he wants it.

ToesToesToes · 08/12/2016 18:52

Henry

Madbengalmum · 08/12/2016 18:55

Henry, dislike jonah.

BingThing · 08/12/2016 20:21

Definitely Jonah but I'm biased! My Jonah is 7 and not been shortened to Joe so far.

PunkAssMoFo · 08/12/2016 22:39

Jonah. Henry is a great name, but heavily used.
I know a jonas (based on the same name) who is lovely.

Alisvolatpropiis · 12/12/2016 14:30

Jonah
