Henlie?

Hey everyone,

I'd never heard this name before but recently had a customer at work with it (I think he was German) and thought it sounded nice.

Any thoughts?

Erm..no. Sounds horrible and made up imo.

Nooooooooo.

Regatta?

Sounds wrong and would be spelt wrong by everyone.

TheVisitor · 23/01/2011 12:23

Regatta is a brand name of outdoor clothing.

I might use it for my next chicken. For some reason it sounds feminine to me.

TheMonster · 23/01/2011 12:24

Nope. Next?

ALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 23/01/2011 12:25

No No No.

Sounds like Henley's clothing brand.

CockneySparra · 23/01/2011 12:25

Awful. Actually, 'Henley' would be awful. 'Henlie' is ridiculous.

FranSanDisco · 23/01/2011 12:26

Henlie would not be out of place in this area so I think it depends where you live really.

That's a big no then!

I like it, Smile

It sounds to me like a nn for Heinrich (a variant of Heini). Fine in German-speaking area, as others have noted, it may well be seen as odd elsewhere.

Sorry it just made me think of Henley Regatta!
