How many Boys under 5 called Henry do you know?

[Wishful80smontage]

My all time favourite boys name I'm trying to persuade oh. I thought it was around 30 in top 100 now seen it's no.18 (possibly higher again in August when new stats out).
How many do you know? Will there be 3 in each class?

Three - I'm in the South West.

One

One, Hampshire.

Two, I'm in SE England.

The last 4 baby boys I know all named Henry. On holiday over half term EVERY small boy seemed to be called Henry. I think it's heading into the top 5 if that bothers you.

I know about 20 babies and none of them are Henry.

One 2yo Henry. I'm in NW England.

Certain that's what I'm worried about! Are they all over the country or in your particular home city/town?

I have a Henry and he's the only one in our primary school in the south east.

Number 18 will mean that one in every 120ish baby boys will be called Henry. So you'd be pretty unlucky to have one in the same class in primary school.

And even if you do it doesn't matter!.

I don't know any. I know loads of Harrys though. I'm not sure how many of those Harrys are actually Henrys on the birth certificate.

I know 3

Just one, he's 5 months and in Kent. It's one of my all time favourites too but sadly ruled out as our surname begins with H and makes it sound like a cartoon character!

Interesting Heir ours does and oh says the cartoon character thing I think more movie star lol

Four. One three year old and three under-ones.

Soft sheen where abouts are you?

3, all in my dd1's pre school class. I'm in Hampshire.

3

One 10....4 and 3

None. Under 5 or otherwise.

I know one, but have come across a few at baby and toddler groups - at one group there are about ten boys and two of them are called Henry.

If you look at the Telegraph birth announcements name rankings Henry is much higher than 19 - It was #1 last year.

I do think it is a lovely name though. It was one of our top three and I wasn't deterred by the popularity.

I think that unless you go for something really unusual it is hard to guess how popular it will be in your area/social circle, or indeed in the country as a whole. Our two month old son has a classic but not (we thought) overused name. It is top 50 but further down the lists than Henry. We only knew a couple when we chose it and since then we've met several more (friends/colleagues have chosen it for their babies, and baby classes round here are full them, plus variant/nickname versions). Not sure whether that's a quirk of my area or whether it has shot up the rankings for 2014/2015 and entered the top 10.

I love the name though. Would have been on my short list if DH wasn't against older names

2 including mine. Yorkshire. Dh wasn't sure to start with when I suggested it at 20 weeks but Changed his mind and loves it now. Fwiw we chose dd's name without knowing how popular it was ( top 10). She is 2 and although we have met some out and About, in all of her groups ( she has a great social life!) and preschool she is the only one. Both me and dh have very popular names in our age group, neither of us care. If you both love a name, don't worry about popularity.

I know two, South london. I absolutely love the name though, it's so lovely.

I think there are 4 or 5 at nursery and I know of another 3. We're in the West Midlands but the other three are elsewhere.
