....do you think of Mr Hankey the Xmas poo from South Park??

I love it as a nn for Henry, and as DP is Canadian, we think it would go down well over there and give a N American element.

I'm in Canada. I think of Breaking Bad first. And Hank Aaron (baseball player) and Hank Williams.

I don't think of any others except a nickname for Henry.

It might go over well in Canada, however, it's not a name I would use here in the US as it has a bit of a "hick" reputation.

Though 'wank' never crossed my mind.

Esoterically I think of Leonard Cohen Grin. Specifically his Tower Of a Song (I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get? Hank Williams hasn't answered yet).

Breaking Bad, Hank Hill...but mostly wank. I'm incredibly childish though, if that helps?

DNephew is Henry, born in the US but his DM is English (Dad is American). He has stayed Henry but I know they considered Huck as a nn for the US contingent to go with...might that be an option?
