Henry. Classic. Zachary nice, but a bit more trendy.

I prefer Henry and maybe Hank for a pet name, but I think we would use Henry and not shorten it to Hen. Other boys may call him Hen tho! Or Henman!

Zachary would be naturally shortened to Zac I feel- and though I prefer Zac to Hen, I prefer Henry to Zac if you know what i mean?! Im not sure if that helps matters? I think that means I prefer Henry, and also i do think its a classic rather than 'trendy'.

Am now stuck between Henry and Jonathan tho xx
