Boy Names

Which boy name do you prefer? [name_m]Henry[/name_m] or [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]? I always loved [name_m]Henry[/name_m] but recently started liking [name_m]Elijah[/name_m].

[name_m]Elijah[/name_m]. It has a more modern sound to it, albeit being an old biblical name. I’ve never been a huge fan of old people names like [name_m]Henry[/name_m].

I like both, honestly. I’m not much help lol. We’ve actually considered both of these names at one point, but ruled them out for various reasons: [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is the name of DH’s deceased biological grandfather and his grandmother remarried, so it would just be awkward, and [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]…well, it sort of lost its glamour after saying it so much. I do think that both could work very well in today’s world! [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is definitely not an old man name (all old people were once young and everybody has a name…I don’t see how it can be considered exclusive to one age group) and [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] has a similar feel.

It’s a hard choice, but I think I’ll put a vote for [name_m]Henry[/name_m].

I prefer [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] sounds great.

I don’t think [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is an old men name. [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] could be classed as one too

6

I have a bias towards classic names and while [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] is a classic, [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is the more classic of the two. So I prefer [name_m]Henry[/name_m].

I like both but I’d pick [name_m]Elijah[/name_m].

8

I love [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] and [name_m]Eli[/name_m] but I adore [name_m]Henry[/name_m], so [name_m]Henry[/name_m] gets my vote. I can picture [name_m]Henry[/name_m] on different personality types.

They are great names, I personally prefer [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] and [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] both work too!
