Definitely William. Henry is bland.

Fanfare · 09/12/2009 14:44

Congratulations on your little chap, a lovely traditional name!

I know its a while... 14 weeks old now.

We eventually went for George Harry Arthur.

He didnt look like William or Henry.

Bless him !

neither

I prefer Henry.

Henry for me...this was on my SL we already have an Oliver so I thought they went well. However, we're expecting a girl. I know SO many Williams and so many men in my family have William as a middle name so I find it slightly boring compaired to Henry!

Hulababy · 25/08/2009 19:39

I like both, but prefer William most.

traceybath · 25/08/2009 18:09

Well I have a Henry and an Arthur so love both of them.

There are a lot of Williams around although its also a lovely name.

fatzak · 25/08/2009 18:07

We have a William who would have been an Emily had he been a girl! Great names

Agree with others that William sounds better with Emily, but I do like Henry too.

All the best for next week

PCPlumIsMyHomeboy · 24/08/2009 21:10

DS (and my Grandad)are Henry William. fab names both!

chichichien · 24/08/2009 21:08

william

CantThinkofFunnyName · 24/08/2009 20:52

WILLIAM Arthur gets my vote. William is my top choice for a boy's name but my two DCs at school age are not at all keen because of the "willy" connotations! So we've given in and going for William as middle name instead.

pinkchampagne · 24/08/2009 20:45

Henry

ErikaMaye · 24/08/2009 20:40

Think William sounds better with Emily. Also, my brother is William George and that works really well

Daisydaydream · 24/08/2009 20:32

Henry, I have a 16 month Henry and he is the best thing in the world!

Issy123 · 24/08/2009 20:26

Much prefer Henry but like both, William is a little bit boring.

bess23 · 24/08/2009 18:13

like both but Henry more .

screamingabdab · 24/08/2009 17:36

William

Fanfare · 24/08/2009 17:23

Both gorgeous traditional names, but I'll put in a vote for Henry. William has been in the top 10 boys names for years - there are far less little Henry's running around!

MaybeAfterBreakfast · 24/08/2009 16:14

Both lovely.

How about William Henry?
