I’m not sure how common/popular it is everywhere but where I live, it’s fairly common to hear someone named [name_m]John[/name_m] something…as their first name. For example, I know [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Angus[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]David[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Alec[/name_m], etc etc! I personally really like this sound but of course only certain names flow nicely after [name_m]John[/name_m]. My husband loves the name [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] but I’m not sure about the flow?! What do people think of [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]?? Also do you have any other suggestions for [name_m]John[/name_m] names. I love [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Luke[/name_m] as well. I gues to throw one more question in, if you were to use a double name like this, would you also add a middle name after? or just leave it w/ the two first names and a last? Thanks in advance for any feedback!
I like [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m], and it sounds beautiful to me. Although a little bit less, I also like your suggestion of [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Luke[/name_m], and I can understand the appeal as it is less of a classic than [name_m]Henry[/name_m].
Can I ask what would you call him, the first or the second name?
As to a third name, I think I wouldn’t add one, even though I usually like long names (I’m Portuguese, I have 5 names, it’s not unusual).

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] any of this was of help! Good luck!
[name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] was a folk hero from stories about the railroad.
[name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]'s pretty splendid, and I like [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Archer[/name_m] too. I know a [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m].
[name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] sounds great, though I wouldn’t use it because of the folk tales. [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Luke[/name_m] reminds me strongly of the [name_m]French[/name_m] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]-[name_m]Luc[/name_m].

I like them, actually! I know a kid named [name_m]Jon[/name_m] [name_m]Luke[/name_m] (they’re part Dutch, hence the [name_m]Jon[/name_m] spelling). He usually just goes by [name_m]Luke[/name_m] (used to go by Lukie when he was really little), but I still think it’s a cool concept. I’ve heard of [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Micah[/name_u], as well, which I love, and I’ve fallen in love with [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]David[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m], etc. I think Mhairi, [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], and [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] would be pretty cool, in fact! He could go by [name_m]John[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_m]Johnny[/name_m], JJ, [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Hank[/name_m], [name_m]Hal[/name_m], [name_m]Harry[/name_m]… I think it’s fab. 
You don’t think [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] flows well? Really? That’s one of the most common [name_m]John[/name_m] combinations I’ve come across. Honestly, I think just about anything sounds good with [name_m]John[/name_m]. From the previous suggestions, I really like [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Aaron[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Harvey[/name_m], and [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u].
Ok I love [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]…never heard of it used in my life before though! It’s my husband’s middle names. To answer [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], we would be callng him by both names all the time…not one or the other. So would be [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] or [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Luke[/name_m] or whatever.
[name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]. Never thought of that. Sounds awesome. I think I like the [name_m]John[/name_m] followed by a vowel name best which is maybe why [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] seems more awkward to me than say [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Archie[/name_m] or [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Alec[/name_m], etc. I think leaning toward [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] though due to the family significance to my husband but also love [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] for something different…plus my husband had mentioned [name_u]Everett[/name_u] as a name he liked.
While I like [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. I much prefer [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Luke[/name_m]. But My favorite is [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]David[/name_m].
I also think [name_m]Joe[/name_m] [name_m]Nathan[/name_m] is lovely as a first name.
I like [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m], but when I hear it I sing the Disney “[name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]” song from the folk tale in my head. (I’m sure you could find it on YouTube if you had any interest). However, Disney has basically abandoned all of their old cartoons, so I doubt that memory will linger in our culture much longer.
I also like [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m] and [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Kelly[/name_u].
Good luck!
I’m going to youtube it! Never heard of it!
There is also a [name_m]Johnny[/name_m] [name_m]Cash[/name_m] song about him. It’s a cool part of [name_f]Americana[/name_f] (if you’re into that sort of thing). The more I think about it, the more I really like it. It is a combination of traditional names, but put together in a unique way. It it also reminiscent of a powerful and hardworking man, but the reference isn’t going to be obvious to many people. And anything associated with [name_m]Johnny[/name_m] [name_m]Cash[/name_m] is pretty fantastic in my eyes.
Historically, the most common is [name_m]John[/name_m] ([name_u]Jean[/name_u], [name_m]Jehan[/name_m], [name_m]Johan[/name_m]) [name_m]Baptiste[/name_m], but also [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Luke[/name_m]. I love [name_u]Jean[/name_u] [name_m]Baptiste[/name_m] & [name_u]Jean[/name_u] [name_m]Luc[/name_m], but for an Anglo- name, I guess [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]…or how about [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]?
I had no idea about the [name_m]Johnny[/name_m] [name_m]Cash[/name_m] song, that makes it really neat too. [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Johnny[/name_m] [name_m]Cash[/name_m]. We are Canadian not American but both my husband and I like [name_m]Johnny[/name_m] [name_m]Cash[/name_m] and old country. The more I hear, the more I am loving [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] too. It is actually my husband’s middle name and his grandfather’s name so of course that’s meaningful as well. His grandfather died when his father was only 14 so my husband obviously never met his grandfather.
My son is named [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Todd[/name_m]. He is the only one, though in his school there is a [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m], and a [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m].
Fairly well known folk song/folk tale but [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] sounds great and the guy is a folk [name_u]HERO[/name_u].
Well [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] was a little baby
Sittin’ on his daddy’s knee
He picked up a hammer and
a little piece of steel
And cried, “Hammer’s gonna
be death of me, [name_m]Lord[/name_m], [name_m]Lord[/name_m]
Hammer’s gonna be the death of me”
I’ve been googling the story/songs. Had no idea haha Interesting to learn ! And certainly seems like a good strong connection.
I like [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] (rather Catholic though), [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Miles[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Silas[/name_m].

I love [name_m]John[/name_m] _____ combos. I think to like more surname-ish names with it, though. Any maiden names/family names that you could dig up? I also think that one or two syllable names sound best. I also like cowboy names with it.
