Both lovely classic names can’t go wrong with either but I prefer Oscar.

Shadow1234 · 02/01/2019 04:17

I prefer Oscar as well

Ozziegirl · 02/01/2019 04:25

Oscar definitely :)

jessstan2 · 02/01/2019 04:26

I like both, either are good names. I knew a few young Henrys and Oscars.

Probably go for Oscar, people of my age used to have Uncle Harrys/Henrys :-).

Oscar.

autumngazer · 02/01/2019 05:13

Without a doubt, Henry.

RedDwarves · 02/01/2019 08:28

Oscar, though I like Henry too.

comebacksoonsusan · 02/01/2019 08:29

Oscar.

Henry

Henry

Oscar. Don't like Henry at all. "He's only got a Henry" or Henry the Hoover.

Weirdly I love Henrietta for a girl Grin

WrapAndRoll · 02/01/2019 09:04

I prefer Henry. Not keen on Oscar.

twinkletwirlytoes · 02/01/2019 09:10

Oscar Smile love the name and the meaning 'deer/ gentle friend'. But it's my nephews name so I love it

SilverBirchTree · 02/01/2019 09:20

I love Henry. Oscar seems like a pet's name to me.

Flamingosnbears · 02/01/2019 09:24

Both good names do you like all shortenings of each name?... that may be a way you can come to a decision.

Astronica · 02/01/2019 09:29

Both great names. For me, you can't go wrong with either - does one of them work better with the surname, middle name or other sibling names? Otherwise, Oscar by a pinch.

Sophronia · 02/01/2019 10:29

Henry, but Oscar is nice too.

Icklepup · 02/01/2019 11:38

Henry!

NotAGoodParent · 02/01/2019 13:18

I adore Henry! Agree with pp Oscar sounds like a pets name to me x

Silkei · 02/01/2019 13:19

Henry. Oscar is overdone and becoming too common.

DramaAlpaca · 02/01/2019 13:20

Henry.

I only like Oscar on a cat.

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 02/01/2019 13:21

Henry. Oscar is OK but Henry is much nicer.

MikeUniformMike · 02/01/2019 14:18

Henry. Oscar a bit popular and is used as a pet's name.
