Names with the same "feel" as Henry?

Boy Names

I love love love [name_u]Henry[/name_u]. It’s strong, sweet, easy to spell and say, classic but not dated, cute on a kid and ages well… all the reasons I’m sure it’s so popular now! But because it’s so popular I’d rather not use it, I know so many!

I’d love some suggestions of names that have a similar feel to [name_u]Henry[/name_u] and hit those markers I mentioned above but aren’t quite as popular. Other names I like but I’m not sold on are [name_m]Simon[/name_m], [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], [name_m]Benedict[/name_m], [name_u]Julian[/name_u]. I don’t like names like [name_u]William[/name_u], [name_m]Philip[/name_m], [name_u]Michael[/name_u] etc. if that helps! Thank you all.

I like [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] and [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] a lot too, but they’re also very popular sadly. [name_m]Graham[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] are two of my favorites but they definitely don’t work with my last name :cry:

5

[name_m]Ernest[/name_m] and [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] I loooove!! I just don’t know how practical they are. I hadn’t thought of [name_m]Louis[/name_m]!

I second [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] and [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]. I’d like to add [name_u]Miles[/name_u] ( Myles.). It’s one of my all time favorite names. It’s an under used classic. Great on a male of any age. Never have to worry about a nickname.

17

[name_u]Barry[/name_u]
[name_m]Harvey[/name_m]
[name_u]Casey[/name_u]
[name_u]Crosby[/name_u]

[name_m]Davey[/name_m]
[name_m]Gregory[/name_m]
[name_m]Jeffery[/name_m]
[name_u]Stanley[/name_u]
[name_u]Sydney[/name_u]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m]
[name_m]Harris[/name_m]

18

[name_m]Frank[/name_m] (Frankie while a child maybe?) gives me “similar but less popular” vibes to [name_u]Henry[/name_u]

19

Here are a few more possibilities:

[name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_u]Bennett[/name_u]
[name_u]Owen[/name_u]

[name_u]Finn[/name_u]

[name_m]Irving[/name_m]
