Hank-able names

Boy Names

I’ve decided I really like the name [name_m]Hank[/name_m], but it doesn’t work for me as my last name starts with a K.

Does anyone have any suggestions for names that have the feel of [name_m]Hank[/name_m] but don’t end in K?

Thanks so much for your help!!

You’ve already got some great suggestions! how about…

[name_m]Hal[/name_m], [name_m]Harvey[/name_m], [name_m]Bram[/name_m], [name_m]Bruce[/name_m], [name_m]Chance[/name_m], [name_u]Dean[/name_u], [name_m]Ford[/name_m], [name_m]Hale[/name_m], [name_m]Heath[/name_m], [name_m]Hardy[/name_m], [name_m]Holt[/name_m], [name_u]Lane[/name_u], [name_m]Leon[/name_m], [name_m]Martin[/name_m], [name_m]Miles[/name_m], [name_m]Taft[/name_m], [name_u]West[/name_u], [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]

Thanks for the suggestions! I think I will further think on [name_u]Wade[/name_u], [name_m]Hal[/name_m], [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] and [name_m]Vince[/name_m]. I like [name_m]George[/name_m] but not sure if hubby would go for it. Plus it’s the name of my daughter’s favorite stuffed monkey. Like [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] but friends want to use. I will also mull [name_m]Ford[/name_m] over.

Strong, masculine, but a little bit hickster. Taking out the -k ones that are similar leaves me with:

[name_u]Jesse[/name_u]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]/[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]
[name_u]Roy[/name_u]
[name_m]Joel[/name_m]
[name_m]Cole[/name_m]

Liked suggestions of [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m], [name_m]Heath[/name_m], and [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] too.

[name_m]Hank[/name_m] is often a NN for [name_m]Henry[/name_m], you could use it as a nickname but [name_m]Henry[/name_m] when it needs to go with the surname? The other one I’ve heard as a long form for [name_m]Hank[/name_m] is [name_m]Hiram[/name_m].

You’ve got so many good suggestions… I’d probably add [name_u]Dean[/name_u] to the list…

Otherwise if you wanted to use [name_m]Hank[/name_m] as a nn there are a few options ranging from the traditional [name_m]Henry[/name_m] to the previously mentioned [name_m]Hiram[/name_m], I also like Hendric (though also has the k-ish ending though not as hard), [name_m]Huckleberry[/name_m], [name_m]Hercule[/name_m], [name_m]Heinrich[/name_m], Henricus etc.
