Henry (by a mile!)

Henry 100%

Henry

Like both a lot, but Henry just edges it.

Henry
(biased because I have a 3 month old Henry)
Edward is nice too though

Edward 
RubysArms · 21/02/2021 03:51
Henry is such a dweeb's name.
Whereas Edward is strong.
RubysArms · 21/02/2021 03:51
(no disrespect to anyone with a much loved Henry in their life)
leggingsandwellies · 21/02/2021 04:27
Definitely Edward. I find Henry a bit 'wet'
CakesOfVersailles · 21/02/2021 04:39
Henry.
But just by a wee smidgeon. Both are great names.
Bluesername · 21/02/2021 06:10
Henry
Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 21/02/2021 06:12
@RubysArms not particularly sure how that could be anything other than disrespectful 
Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 21/02/2021 06:27
OP I prefer Henry. There’s more opportunity for shortened versions with Edward. Would that help sway your choice at all?
SmeleanorSmellstrop · 21/02/2021 06:42
Edward. I haaaate Henry and can't get over its current popularity. It reminds me of someone really unappealing. (No specific person, just the image that comes to mind when I hear the name!) Edward is nice and has nice nickname options too.
Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 21/02/2021 06:47
Why do people feel the need to be so rude about names? Surely you can voice your preference without making unpleasant remarks about the other name?
Alonelonelyloner · 21/02/2021 06:52
I always think of Horrid Henry, which is awful.
Edward is awesome though.
Aebj · 21/02/2021 06:55
I know a Henry that’s about a year old now and he’s the most amazing little boy.
My sons middle name is Edward and well he’s a shitbag🤣🤣🤣
I like either name but maybe Edward as Henry is making a come back.?
alanpartridgefromtheoasthouse · 21/02/2021 06:58
I love both. My nephew is called one so we'll be using the other if we have a boy next time round.
Does one go better than the other with your surname?
CoffeeRunner · 21/02/2021 07:15
Edward for me.
I know it’s supposed to be very popular again but personally I only know two Henry’s. Both with brothers called Edward as it happens 
.
There seem to be more Edward/Ted/Teddy here.
CotleyMew · 21/02/2021 07:27
Henry by a mile
Edward I don't like at all
Penguinandduck · 21/02/2021 07:31
I had both on my list but had a girl! I think Edward would just about win for me
Lobsterquadrille2 · 21/02/2021 07:36
Henry. Both are lovely though so you can't go wrong.
