I am drawn to Henry if bean turns out to be a boy, but worried by it's popularity. That said, while it is in the top 40 in the UK charts, I haven't ever met or heard of any hear in Greater Manchester, so wondered if it might be much more popular down South?

I'm not far from Greater Manchester and have never known of a Henry.
I think any might have got bullied as its a 'posh' sounding name to us Northerners!! Smile

No, don't know any baby Henrys.

I know some grown up Henrys.

Go for it.
