Middle name for Henry

[Peyia]

We've decided on Henry because grandparents were called Harry on both sides. still toying with Harry as the written name on the BC so if we can't decide we'll use Henry as the written form (being traditional blah blah blah)

Anyway, back to the question. What second name would you use? Our safe option is Henry James but the alternative (which I love) is Henry Xavier - not pronouncing the X!

Any opinions, suggestions?

The MN James is the equivalent to Mae Grace. It's almost every little boys MN. I can understand why, as it goes with almost any name. I also love Henry Xavier
Other suggestions
Henry David
Henry Arthur
Henry Charles
Henry Louis
Henry Francis
Henry Thomas
Henry John
Henry Jude

Love Xavier but I came to suggest Rufus.

I came on to suggest James as it flows so nicely.

Henry Thomas
Henry Nicholas

I was going to suggest James...

Henry Matthew
Henry Samuel
Henry Issac
Henry Aaron
Henry Lee

Xavier is great!

I was going to have a Henry Alexander but he came out as a girl!

I have a Henry Peter.

Also like:

Alexander
John
Michael
Paul
Robert
David
Christian

James does flow well but that is the only reason why we have chosen it, which makes me feel little meh about it.

Thanks for the wonderful name suggestions. Really like Jude, Arthur, Rufus and Alexander but not all of them go with our surname. It begins with P and is two syllables so I'm swayed to the middle name having one syllable but loooove Xavier - grrrr it's a tough one!

I actually prefer Harry Henry is lovely too.

Go with Henry Xavier, there's nothing wrong with it, but I love the MN James biased

All great choices

I do like George. Our daughter (3yo) wanted a sister called George. She clearly has watched too much Peppa but the name has grown on me.

My son is Henry George. We get so many compliments on his name.

Henry Charles
Henry John
Henry Luke
Henry Miles
Henry Thomas

Don't really know why you aren't just going with Xavier if you like it?

Nice to have a more unusual middle name with a traditional and common first name. Don't pick James just for flow! If you don't have a meaningful family name go for Xavier.
