Yes, it is a lovely solid name.

Henry is also a train friend in Thomas the Tank Engine. But don't let that put you off.

Do whatever u think my little boys name can rhyme with stuff do I care, no. Smile

It's a fine name. It's such a classic any associations don't really matter.

HokeyCokey123 · 09/05/2020 02:02

Gorgeous love it

Very much agree with what @DramaAlpaca said.

So overused at the moment I know 6 under 4 v

I don’t actually like it much, but it’s a perfectly sensible name.

HollyBen · 09/05/2020 16:45

I am not keen. On a side note I despise Horrid Henry - i for rid of the books we were given but DD would find them at every school fayre and buy themHmm

You can't go wrong with Henry, but personally I think it's a bit dull.

daisypond · 09/05/2020 16:56

It’s a great name.

Malysh · 09/05/2020 22:56

It's very common so if you look up famous bearers of the name you'll get a mixed bag. But no one will think anything of it if you use it.

Personally I find it a bit boring because it's been used so much throughout history, but that's just me.

peperethecat · 09/05/2020 23:35

It's a lovely name.

Aardvarkitsabloodyaardvark · 09/05/2020 23:49

Love it. My Grandad born early 1900's was a Henry. Everyone called him Harry though.

ticktackted · 10/05/2020 10:59

I have tried to get it onto our list, but my husband can't get past the hoover association! I think it's lovely.

Edenember · 10/05/2020 11:31

I think it’s cute

Whatsyourflava · 10/05/2020 12:00

Love it
