No, I think of an 80's children's TV series called Helping Henry. The theme tune contained the immortal line, 'And so we cross the universe disguised as dining chairs!'

ZenNudist · 07/06/2014 21:30

No. I do associate it with royalty.

I know a little Henry. Great name. His mum worried it was 'boring' but he's really the first I've come across.

No...Horrid Henry does spring to mind though. However,I do like the name!

No. And we do have a Henry vacuum cleaner, but I don't think of it when I hear Henry, I think of a boy!
