[name_m]Henry[/name_m] is a perfect name in my opinion. They are both good choices, but I love [name_m]Henry[/name_m] much more! It’s strong, handsome and sweet.

Both are lovely, and I know [name_m]Walter[/name_m]'s been growing in popularity - I only started hearing it as a baby name recently - I really like it :slight_smile: But I absolutely adore [name_m]Henry[/name_m], so that got my vote, as my number one boys name!

[name_m]Walter[/name_m] is one of my favorites!

They’re both great names! Although I think [name_m]Henry[/name_m] will be a name that sounds good in all stages of his life, whereas [name_m]Walter[/name_m] I can’t picture on a baby/young boy/teenager! Good luck deciding!

I have sons with both of these names so I obviously love them both. I voted for [name_m]Walter[/name_m]. I like how we haven’t met other kids with the name. I love the nickname being so obvious ("[name_m]Walt[/name_m]") as it is just the first syllable; we often call our [name_m]Henry[/name_m] “[name_f]Hen[/name_f]”, but haven’t really used any of the standard nicknames for [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. We call our [name_m]Walt[/name_m] “Waltie” a lot which is very cute for a little guy I think.

Thank you for all your responses! It’s nice to get a 2nd opinion without letting our entire world know. Of course Nameberry members tend to be in the know on names as well :slight_smile:

I think we have it narrowed down to [name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_u]Owen[/name_u] or [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m].
