Arthur or Henry

[Wombat222]

Which is better? Henry’s nickname would be Hen? And Arthur’s perhaps Art/Artie?

Really like Arthur - not keen on Henry tbh

I like both so I'm not much help.

Arthur nn Art (Artie reminds me of the creepy kid in Daria, but that's a fairly dated reference!)

Not a fan of Henry

I love both but prefer Arthur

Henry. I'm sorry but I don't get the love for Arthur.

The nickname for Henry is usually Harry - if that helps to make a decision?

Hen is Glaswegian for any female, girl/teenager/single woman/wife/granny.
Harry is much better.
I prefer Arthur to Henry though.

Thanks. We wouldn’t go to Harry I don’t think, though would love an alternative to ‘Hen’

Hal?

Bleurg no! I think he’d be Henry but just affectionately called Hen/Hens/Henners etc by me

Bleurg no!

must admit it's not my favourite.

Arthur.

Horrid Henry has ruined Henry for me.

nn Hank?

Not hugely keen on either but Henry is better.

Personally I prefer Henry.

Both are popular names, I think Arthur less so based purely on the fact I don't think I know any Arthur's personally but know several Henry's.

Arthur.

I have 4dc, the only one whose name has not been shortened to a nickname is Henry. There really isnt a nice nickname for it, but i do prefer it to Arthur. (We did call the dog that though 😁)

Think Hank is an American thing really

Arthur!

Arthur. Far too many Henry’s.

Henry, it’s lovely.

Oh I love them both! Probably prefer Henry at a push but Artie is a much nicer nickname than Hen... Sorry I'm probably no help!

Not keen on either but Henry, in its entirety. No contrived nn.

Hal is pretty cool, think benedict cumberbatch calls his kid that

I prefer Henry, but Arthur is okay.
