Henry Hayes

Is this too much alliteration? Last name is Dillow. I’m a fan of alliteration so I’m biassed, but I kind of love this combo. [name_f]My[/name_f] son’s name is [name_m]Harrison[/name_m], so I also don’t want people to think I’m over here naming my kids after presidents. :rofl: I just like surname names!

[name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]Hayes[/name_u] is a wonderful combo, but, with a big brother [name_m]Harrison[/name_m], I immediately thought of [name_m]President[/name_m] [name_u]William[/name_u] [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] who is known by all three names, and thus [name_u]Hayes[/name_u] really sticks out as presidential as well.

It’s a nice combo but [name_u]Henry[/name_u] is too close to [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] for me.

I love both names, however [name_u]Henry[/name_u] and [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] are too close for me personally because [name_u]Harry[/name_u] is a nickname for [name_u]Henry[/name_u]. But if you don’t use the nn [name_u]Harry[/name_u] for [name_u]Henry[/name_u] it would be doable

We pretty much only call [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] by his given name and I think we would call [name_u]Henry[/name_u] “Hank”

I do enjoy [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]Hayes[/name_u] but [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] and [name_u]Henry[/name_u] are too similar for me

[name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]Hayes[/name_u] as a combo alone is wonderful! However, in a sibset with [name_m]Harrison[/name_m], I think it’s a little too much (since [name_u]Harry[/name_u] is a diminutive of Henry).

I don’t think it’s too much alliteration, though I do think with a brother called [name_m]Harrison[/name_m], people will make the presidential connection. Maybe [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] or [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]Haze[/name_u] to make it less presidential?

I don’t think [name_u]Henry[/name_u] and [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] are too close for brothers – very few people other than name-obsessed people are likely to make any connection between them.

On its own, [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]Hayes[/name_u], is a wonderful combination. However, along with brother [name_m]Harrison[/name_m], it does seem like a bit much with all the ‘H’ names. Personally, I think [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] and [name_u]Henry[/name_u] is an absolute perfect sibling set! I just suggest finding a non H middle name.

I really like [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]Hayes[/name_u] however I probably wouldn’t use it if I also had a son named [name_m]Harrison[/name_m], even if you don’t call him [name_u]Harry[/name_u]. That’s just me though. But just in terms of [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]Hayes[/name_u], I think the alliteration works really well.

I think [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] is adorable and looks be even more the nn [name_m]Hank[/name_m]!

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] and [name_u]Henry[/name_u] are too close. Yes, they start with the same letter and have a similar sound, but to me they are different. Especially with having different endings, -son and -y.

Also, hearing the whole names, one might think presidential, but how often do people even know their whole name??

I say go for it!

Hmm, I like how it sounds but I don’t like that [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] means son of [name_u]Henry[/name_u]. They would be brothers!

I agree with @eloiseattheplaza and @whatchamacallit I like the name, but is too close to big brothers name for me

Thanks everyone! It’s fun to see how divided everyone is on this one!

[name_m]Harrison[/name_m] means son of [name_u]Harry[/name_u] :blush:

His grandpa and great-grandpa are both [name_m]Harold[/name_m] so we chose [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] as a more modern honor name!

And [name_u]Harry[/name_u] is a form of [name_u]Henry[/name_u] :grin: They sound very close to me no matter what meaning, sorry

[name_u]Harry[/name_u] is a nickname for [name_u]Henry[/name_u] and [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] means son of Harry/Henry so I wouldn’t!
