Thoughts on Hendrix

[No2incoming]

For a boy? I like it but sometimes I think most people will hate it!

I quite like it but if your surname is something ordinary, it won't sound right

I'm not keen on Hendrix but I do actually love Henrik.

Hendrix seems like trying to be different and naming after the musician.

Henrik is a legitimate alternative to Henry

I really love it.

It sounds like a pet name. A dog maybe.

It's a bit hipster try hard for me. Up there with Lennon and Huxley and Cooper etc. But it's your baby and the opinions of random mums on the internet really don't matter if you like the name!!

Love it!

Prefer Hendricks

My friend had a parrot called Hendrix, its not a name I'd choose for a child.

I’d think you were pissed on the gin the night you conceived…

I really liked this but my husband didn’t do it was a no go for us. It’s ‘cool’ without being weird I think

Jenson Button named his son this. I like it.

Try hard by couples who they're cool but almost definitely aren't

No.
trying to be trendy, or cutting-edge, or different, or anything else self-regarding, rarely works for the child.
it dates very quickly and can sound insubstantial, so people unconsciously assume the bearer is flakey, unreliable.
just pick a solid, time-trusted name.
good luck.

For a dog? Totally fine

Our dog is named Hendrix. It suits him, but I wouldn’t use it for a baby.

I know a Hendrix with siblings Marley and Lennon.
Not for me !

Yes, this - it’s used by saddos

Otis has a similar feel without the saddo baggage, it’s popular though. Or Jethro??

I love it

Hendrik is an actual name. Hendricks is a last name. Both my grandfathers were called Hendrik. It is used in multiple countries I think but for me it is a Dutch name.

It makes me think of the Neighbours character Hendrix Grayson - I quite like it.

It's a last name, and if you're a white mc family it's even more cringey try hard.

Wow okay very mixed responses thank you, I think on the whole it seems not the best name.

I quite like it, but I know a really nice boy with the name, so that’s probably why.

So long as you don’t mind the nickname Jimi? Yet another pseudo hippy name 🙄

This^
Also think it will date having said that, why do you care what a bunch of strangers think, if you like it that's what counts
