Henry or Caleb?

[Thomas17]

Thinking of either Henry or Caleb for DS due in a few weeks. What is people’s favourite?

Caleb. Henry is kind of old.

I prefer Henry, it's a classic. Caleb is clunky sounding.

I adore the name Caleb!

I think Caleb looks clumsy written down. I really like it as a name though!

Caleb. We're snided out with 5 to 7 year old Henrys here.

I prefer Henry.

I rightly or wrongly assumed Caleb was far more religious sounding.

Henry does sound, old, but also classic. If these are the only options, I'd go with Henry.

Henry

Caleb
Like both though

Caleb

Henry

Adore Henry!

I like both, but would choose Caleb. Purely because I think Cal is a great NN x

Has this helped @Thomas17 seems to be quite an even split

Henry

@Whatsyourflava yes it been helpful although looks like 50/50 split....maybe slight edge to Henry. We have thought so much about names now it's a bit of a blurr.

I really like Caleb but the trend for OT names would put me off.

I love the name Caleb. I think it's unusual enough he'll be the only boy in his class with the name but not so unusual people would struggle with it.

I don't hate Henry, but don't love it either. I automatically think of Hooray Henrys which was an insult for upper class people back in the day (a kind of stereotype of the likes of the Bullingdon Set.)

I have a Caleb and love it obviously. Really suited him when we saw what he looked like so that could be your deciding factor?

9-7 to Caleb! Close call, so far.

10-7 now that Temple's posted.

Caleb! Might be on our list if bump is male.
