NOT a fan of Henry, but William is a much nicer name. Henry is the nasal and stuffy, a real flat cap name. I really like George too, but not Arthur, although Artie is cute.

Mind you, I seem to be tripping over ARties at the moment. There is one in my son's creche (i saw Artie under a painting) and there was one in the park, so I said, do you go to blah creche and he said 'no'. So in rural Ireland, there are two ARties a stones throw from eachotehr. URBAN chic is not what it used to be

We have decided on George and Arthur as middle names (grandparent first names and father middle names)
Probably wouldve gone for Hentry as a middle name otherwise.

Looking more like William... but still like Henry........

Anyone for Henry ???

William.

Lovely name, was on my boy list.

Henry would make a nice middle name

william - classic and less pigeon-hole "posh" than henry/harry.
