Henry?

We are a week out from DS and have been going round in circles with names.

One that keeps coming up is Henry. DH likes it but I’m just not 100% convinced on it. Not really sure why. What do people think of it?

I think it's solid. In a good way.

I like it.

Lovely name!

Monst3ra · 29/07/2020 21:11

Love Henry Smile

I love it, lovely strong name and I haven’t heard of any little ones having it

I've been reading historical novels recently with King Henrys all over the place. It's a good strong name! He just might be prone to starting arguments in churches but hopefully you can live with that.

Love it (I have a 5yo Henry) - he's the only one in our infant/junior school!

There are 4 in my daughters y1 class. I think it's solid but a bit boring.

OddSox123 · 29/07/2020 21:34

I have a Henry, 4 years old and only one with the name in his pre school. It's a strong traditional name and suits him 😊.

I think it's a lovely name @Thomas17

Solid

I have a Henry. He's 10 years old, soft silky ears, slightly grey muzzle and is the best dog in the world Grin.

DS's best friend also called Henry - he tends to jump quite a lot whenever he's at our house and I'm shouting for the dog.

DariaMorgendorffer · 29/07/2020 21:48

A classic.

Hortensien · 29/07/2020 22:10

Very popular and a little dull from overuse.

Cotswoldmama · 29/07/2020 22:11

Love it but agree that it is very popular right now

Oly4 · 29/07/2020 22:12

I adore Henry and have one myself. Classic name, it will never date.
People think it’s really popular but I can’t think of any in my my kids’primary
