To call a boy Henry as official/christening name but then always call him Harry in real life?

No. Not poncy at all. Though i much prefer Harry to Henry.

I think Arabella is nice, but suppose it might seem poncey to some.

Oh good Harry is the only name which me and DH really like, but I have thought maybe it would be nice to have the alternative - if nothing else just in case he gets fed up as he grows up with being one of the billions of Harrys which there will no doubt be in his year!

Henry (Harry) Thomas can remain our working name then...

Its lovely. But then the name we are going for will leave most people standing in the poncetastic stakes.

I don't think so.

Whilst we are on 'poncey' is Arabella a culprit?

No.

That's the right way to do it!

IMHO (ducks)

If someone I knew had a Harry, I would probably ask if he was a Henry. I don't think it's poncey at all, but I'm sure others will
