I don't think Henry is a dweeb name😀. Henry Ford, Henry VIII, Henry Hill etc.

I like both but at this moment in time I slightly prefer Edward.

Edmund?

I'm pretty sure Horrid Henry is still around as is Henry Hoover but no one thinks of those things when they see Henry Cavill. Ted is ok unless your surname starts with Bu or ends Dy

Henry

Completely biased as I have an Edward (We call him Ted).
There are two Henry’s in His class at school- they are forever known an Henry K and Henry L.

I love both names equally

My eldest boy is Henry and I love it. It was the only boy name I always loved. We don't come across as many Henrys as you might think, more Harry's if anything.

Our second is Arthur (nn Archie).

Edward is a contender for baby #3 (due August). My only issue with Edward are the nicknames, I don't love Ed/Eddy/Ted/Ned, etc. I actually spoke with a nice teenager who was an Edward and he said he loves his name because it's traditional and classic, but not popular.

I truly don't think you can wrong with either!

Henry.
I really dislike Edward and Teddy, Ted

Dweeb? Which means what exactly??

Both lovely names.
