Awful, sorry.

NoHummus · 14/12/2019 19:04

Please say you are joking.

Be good to have some reasons why you dont like it

It's a place, a type of t shirt or sweater and just a bit odd.

Mj10 · 14/12/2019 19:08

Point taken. Back to the drawing board

Regatta

DramaAlpaca · 14/12/2019 19:10

I'm not exactly sure why I don't like it, but I really don't.

TheReluctantCountess · 14/12/2019 19:11

Is it where he was conceived?

Batmanandrobin123 · 14/12/2019 19:24

I know a boy called Henley, he is 3 and really suits his name. People have only responded positively in real life and I didn't think twice when I heard it, just thought, 'oh, that makes a change'.

AdaColeman · 14/12/2019 19:29

What about Heneage instead, or perhaps Horatio?

IsolaPribby · 14/12/2019 19:30

It sounds like Henry with a lisp.

Saucery · 14/12/2019 19:31

No, trying to be posh, but missing by a mile. Henry is ok.

scrivette · 14/12/2019 19:34

It's a lovely name. I know one and everyone says what a nice name it is. Only thing is that people often mishear it as 'Henry', I say go for it, there aren't many around.

CaptainMyCaptain · 14/12/2019 19:36

People will always hear it as Henry and he'll keep having to explain.

tilder · 14/12/2019 19:37

On Thames.

Pinkblueberry · 14/12/2019 19:45

Henley. Sounds like someone is just saying Henry incorrectly. Maybe because they’ve just had a dental procedure.

LilyPinkNoah · 14/12/2019 19:55

Bit chavvy innit

Peony99 · 14/12/2019 20:00

Ridiculous.

Would you shorten it to Hen?

CherryPavlova · 14/12/2019 20:01

Are you infatuated with Boris? Ghastly.

Saucery · 14/12/2019 20:02

Is that one of his many names, Cherry? I lose track.

yellowallpaper · 14/12/2019 20:38

The conversation will be.. nice to meet you Henry.....no, it's Henley.....like Henley the town?

Nope

Mj10 · 14/12/2019 21:16

Ok ok Henley is off the table. You have all made very valid points. Zachary and Harrison look like the 2 names left on our list. Whats the consensus with those 2 names. One with the most votes wins.

Zachary is great.

TheReluctantCountess · 14/12/2019 21:31

Zachary 👍🏻
