We are expecting our 2nd child in [name_u]November[/name_u]. We have the girl’s name [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] picked out as it honors both my hubby’s and my grandmother. Our current child’s name is [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] [name_u]Drew[/name_u]. Our last name rhymes with oust and starts with and F. We are definitely going to use the middle name [name_u]Tate[/name_u] as it honors a family member . We currently agree on [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]Tate[/name_u] but I worry about it being too popular.
So I guess my 2 part question is do you think [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is definitely too popular or still usable?
And then any other suggestions you may have too. We like names that can have nicknames ( my husband has gone by the short version of his name for his whole life) some other names we have considered include [name_m]Brooks[/name_m](but no nickname) [name_m]Simon[/name_m] ( I don’t love it) and [name_u]Elias[/name_u]( we know way too many [name_m]Eli[/name_m]'s)
Thanks so much for your help!!
I don’t think [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is so popular it should be automatically discounted. It’s a great name! Other ideas: [name_m]Stuart[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_m]Walter[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m]? Good luck.
[name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is adorable!
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] is by far too popular for me, I hear it on TV all the time and I don’t even live in an English-speaking country. However [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] is popular as well, so whether or not a name is too popular depends entirely on you.
If you like [name_u]Elias[/name_u], what about [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]/[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]? Also, if you know too many [name_m]Eli[/name_m]'s he could go by [name_f]El[/name_f]
Does your partner like [name_m]Simon[/name_m]? Similar-sounding names are [name_m]Leon[/name_m], [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] and [name_u]Orion[/name_u]

I think [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is one of those classic names though popular is a breath of fresh air in a classroom full of creative spellings and multiple -adens
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]Tate[/name_u] is classic and fits beautifully with [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]
