Baby names

[Becksob]

Hey all :-) We have our daughter Harriet and expecting another in 2026. We’re thinking of keeping with H’s and already have a girls names picked, but if it’s a boy we’re split between Henry or Hendry. I think Hendry sounds edgy and cool and Henry is cute and posh… what would you pick out of the two?

Harry is often short for Henry so in my view I’d say it’s too similar to Harriet.

I’d worry Hendry would spend his life repeating his name/correcting people who mistakenly think he’s called Henry.

Henry of the two (Hendry does not sound remotely edgy, it sounds like a typo)

However as PP says Henry/Harry and Henrietta/Harriet are the same name - so it will be annoying if he ends up Harry in school (which you can’t control).

Hector maybe?

Henry is really cute. I'd probably have assumed a "Hendry" was named after the snooker player Stephen Hendry, so unless it's a tribute, Henry would have my vote

Hendry will spend his whole life correcting people, Henry will sit back and relax without a lifetime of administrative typos messing everything up.

I agree that Hendry will spend his life telling people he’s not called Henry.
Also, that Henry is very similar to Harriet.

If you want to stick to H -
Harvey
Hugo
Hayden
Huxley
?

Hadley?
