Need help with Henry!

Boy Names
1

I just found out we are having a boy! I am thrilled because I really wanted a boy as my first child. The problem is the last four months I was convinced I was having a girl because that is all I dreamed about. Therefore I have no boy names picked out and I think it is so hard. I truly love the name [name]Henry[/name] and we keep going back to it. I had one friend tell me this was not a strong name but I don’t agree. Then someone else told me everyone would call him [name]Hank[/name]. What are your thoughts… Also wat do you think for these middle names?

[name]Henry[/name] [name]Cale[/name]

[name]Henry[/name] Roran

[name]Henry[/name] [name]Grey[/name]

Any views would be appreciated!

I absolutely love [name]Henry[/name]! Why does he need a nn? Most nns are around the same length as just [name]Henry[/name], anyway, and I think it’s so much more appealing than [name]Harry[/name] or [name]Hank[/name] (although I do see the appeal of both). It’s such a classic, timeless, charming name. I met a [name]Henry[/name] today and I couldn’t stop grinning, haha, I really love the name and I love seeing it used. [name]Henry[/name] [name]Grey[/name] is my favorite of your combos, but I quite like [name]Henry[/name] [name]Cale[/name], as well (although I would prefer [name]Henry[/name] [name]Calvin[/name] or [name]Henry[/name] [name]Caleb[/name], personally).

Good luck!

[name]Henry[/name] is one of my favourite names! I don’t think [name]Hank[/name] is an automatic nickname at all. [name]Henry[/name] [name]Grey[/name] is a great combo, though it bothers me a tiny bit that they both end in “Y”.

[name]Henry[/name] not a strong name? Nonsense! Any name worn by kings is certainly a strong name.

[name]Henry[/name] [name]Grey[/name] is my favorite of your choices.

My favorite is [name]Henry[/name] [name]Gray[/name], and I think [name]Henry[/name] is quite a strong name.
[name]Henry[/name] Roran is a tongue-twister for me, and I’m not fond of the name [name]Cale[/name].

In Australia we would never ever use the nn [name]Hank[/name] for [name]Henry[/name]. Actually probably not [name]Harry[/name] either.
It’s 2 syllable, so wouldn’t need a nn.
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Gray[/name] sounds cool. :slight_smile:

I’ve never known a [name]Henry[/name] called [name]Hank[/name] personally…I wasn’t even aware it was a nickname for [name]Henry[/name]. Lol.

[name]Henry[/name]'s a classic and great name, stick to your guns!

I like [name]Henry[/name] [name]Cale[/name], but [name]Henry[/name] [name]Grey[/name] is dashing imo. Roran is too trippy with the double Rs and the R in [name]Henry[/name].

As a suggestion, I think I’d like [name]Henry[/name] [name]Greyson[/name] a bit more than [name]Henry[/name] [name]Grey[/name], but I still think it’s dashing.

I love [name]Henry[/name] because it’s my mom’s maiden name. I never liked the nn [name]Hank[/name] but [name]Harry[/name] is so sweet. [name]Prince[/name] [name]Harry[/name] is actually named [name]Henry[/name]. [name]King[/name] [name]Henry[/name] V was called [name]Harry[/name] and [name]Hal[/name]

[name]Henry[/name] [name]Grey[/name] sounds very debonair
