Unless you live in a Francophone country, [name_m]Henry[/name_m].

Wasn’t this the name of a movie years ago?

Not that I know of. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is honoring my dad and the [name_m]Birch[/name_m] tree is one of his favorite trees. I’ll have to research but it won’t change our love for this combo.

[name_m]Just[/name_m] want to make sure you know that [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_m]Henri[/name_m] are pronounced completely differently - [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is “[name_f]HEN[/name_f]-ree” while [name_m]Henri[/name_m] is more like “on-[name_f]REE[/name_f]” with a silent H and the stress on the second syllable.

Thank you. I did not know that [name_m]Henri[/name_m] was pronounced differently. My dad’s name is with the Y.

I just looked [name_m]Henri[/name_m] up at Behind the name. [name_m]Henri[/name_m] is actually pronounced either way.

If I remember correctly, there are a couple actors with the [name_m]Henri[/name_m] spelling that pronounce the name like [name_m]Henry[/name_m].

I like [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Birch[/name_m]. Pronunciation aside, I just think it looks better.

[name_f]Welcome[/name_f] back, @lovemysweeties!
