Henry August, Henry Forrest, or Henry Wilder?

Thank you everyone for your help on my previous post! I pitched a bunch of middle name ideas to my husband, and these three are his favorites. I’m wondering which of these is your favorite, and I also have a question on Forrest. Do you think because of the connection to the Confederate Forrest we should consider spelling it Forest if we use it?

  • Henry August
  • Henry Forrest

I think people would be more likely to associate [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] (or Forest) with Gump than the Confederates (at least where I live).

[name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] heavily reminds me of [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Ford[/name_m] in the way that the names sound together. I think [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] is cute!

I love all three!! [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] is my top one though

[name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] gets my vote !

You honestly can’t go wrong with these combos, I think all 3 are great choices!

[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] is my favorite.

I like all of these but [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] gets my vote. Such a fantastic name. [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] and [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]Wilder[/name_u] are really lovely too, a lovely combination of classic and quirky. With [name_m]Forrest[/name_m], I prefer the [name_u]Forest[/name_u] spelling anyway.

I vote august! :motor_scooter:

This was such a hard choice, but I went with [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]Wilder[/name_u] with [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] being a close second!

I like the flow of [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]Wilder[/name_u] a little bit better than [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] :blue_heart:

I absolutely love [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]Wilder[/name_u]

Soooooo dreamy!!!

All three are great! [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] is my favorite, very handsome!
