Henry but not Henry

Henry would be bloody perfect but we can't have it.

Looking for something similar but can't be:
Harry
Hugo

(Nor can it be all manner of other nice boys name. We have 12 nephews between us and DP is one of 5 boys)

Snap I don't think "similar" necessarily means similar in sound or related names, more a similar style to Henry. They're not considering it as an option, just using it as an example of the sort of name they like.

OP I'm sure many of these have been mentioned, but to me these have the same vibe as Henry:

Hector
Louis
Walter
Joseph
Samuel
Samson
Jago
Albert
Alfred
William
Wilbur
Arthur
Theodore
Sebastian
Gabriel
Rafe
Raphael
Charles
Edward
Edmund
Benedict
Rufus
Rory
Jasper
George
Miles
Frederick
Isaac
Vincent
Kester
Nicholas
Peter
Felix
Rupert

Henry is irreplaceable. It's the best name ever (biased)! I like Toby.

What is it you particularly like about the name Henry?
I would suggest Edward, probably based on them being royal names and same number of syllables.
On that theme, Charlie is cute and classic.

Why do you think you cannot have Henry if that is what you want? Two of my seven GSs have the same name - no problem for anyone - just have Big X and Little X. They love having their photo taken together!

Similar style to Henry:

Thomas
George
Alexander
Quentin
William
