are Henry and Teddy too similar?

General Name Discussion

my two favorite boy names are [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Teddy[/name] (nn for [name]Theodore[/name] or [name]Edward[/name], but I like [name]Theodore[/name] better) Are they too similar in sound? I thought about using the nn [name]Hal[/name] for [name]Henry[/name], but I’m not super crazy about it. On the other hand, if it’s good enough to be [name]King[/name] [name]Henry[/name] VIII’s childhood nickname I’m sure it’s good enough for me.

What do you think of [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Teddy[/name] together, or [name]Hal[/name] and [name]Teddy[/name]?

I don’t think [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Teddy[/name] are too close. It could be a lot worse! Also, I’m a huge fan of the [name]Hal[/name] nickname (I love it for [name]Harold[/name], but [name]Henry[/name]'s great too!) and it was actually used by a number of the [name]King[/name] Henrys as a nickname, so it’s got lots of history! Another nn is [name]Hank[/name]. [name]Hank[/name] and [name]Teddy[/name] are very cute together.

[name]Hal[/name] is a good nickname for [name]Henry[/name] although most people chose [name]Harry[/name] like the English prince. For [name]Edward[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name], Tedddy is an option but I really like the nickname of [name]NED[/name]. [name]Hal[/name] and [name]Ned[/name] or [name]Harry[/name] and [name]Ned[/name]. [name]Do[/name] you like any of these combos?

I don’t think they are too similar, I love the combo!

Adorable! I would also love [name]Theo[/name] as an alternative with [name]Henry[/name] if you were to bore of [name]Teddy[/name] and [name]Henry[/name].

I actually have cousins named [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Teddy[/name] (they’re siblings), so I think it’s totally fine! [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name] go great together.

I love [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name], and think that they’re perfect together! :slight_smile:

I don’t think they’re too similar, especially if [name]Teddy[/name] is only a nickname. [name]Hal[/name] is fine, but if you don’t love it, it might not be the best choice…

I’ve also seen [name]Huck[/name] as a nickname for [name]Henry[/name]…
