Just wondering what people think of the name Henry. We made the fatal mistake of mentioning it to mil and she said 'Oh well if you like it' and her face was a classic you've got to be joking, I'm waiting for the punchline kind of face. Is it that bad??? We love it and it seems to fit with Joseph quite nicely who will be the other DT.

I think Joey as a nn for Joseph and Charlie could be very cute when they are little but when they grown up they both have good strong independent names if you see what I mean? Having said that I know a Henry and love the name.

I have a Henry and it's an amazing name. It goes well with Joseph, too!

DD1 is Henry. He is mischievous, kind, funny and loyal. Wonderful child and slightly eccentric. IMO lovely, solid name. However, I'm slightly biased!

Henry & Noah are both at the top of my list! Slightly put off by their popularity but they are really great names.

Joseph & Henry sound v good together (I am in the not theming twins camp too, but these names both have 2 syllables & are both classics, so won't sound odd together)

Sorry I hate it Blush Charlie is much nicer

birdofthenorth Henry is not very popuar. I only notice a few now because of ds but often i get told what an unusual (but lovely) name it is these days!
