What H names do you like?

miloowen · February 19, 2025, 8:34pm

I find that it’s easier to find boys’ names that I like that begin with the letter H than girls’ names. [name_f][/name_f] (My students are all busy writing an essay so I’m noodling.) [name_f][/name_f] Some of the boys’ names I like:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Hugh[/name_m] (I love this) and its Welsh variant, [name_m]Huw[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Hector[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Harvey[/name_m] (will it ever survive the hurricane and Feinstein?)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Honor[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Hallam[/name_m] (of In Memoriam fame)
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Harald[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Haakon[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Hillel[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Humphrey[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Horacio[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

Far fewer girls’ names:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Helen[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Hadassah[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Honour[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Hephzibah[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Hester[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_f][/name_f]

For a boy, I really love just [name_m]Hank[/name_m]. [name_f][/name_f] I like [name_m]Henry[/name_m] nn [name_m]Hank[/name_m], but basically every little boy in my city is named [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] nn [name_m]Hank[/name_m] is also fun, but I really prefer just [name_m]Hank[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

As a bit of a guilty pleasure boy, I kind of like [name_m]Hawthorn[/name_m] nn [name_m]Hawk[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

For girls, I like Hazel…also pretty popular though. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_f]Holly[/name_f] & [name_f]Hayley[/name_f] are all sweet, but maybe a bit too common as well. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] perhaps? [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Helena[/name_f] is growing on me lately, but mainly because I love the nn [name_f]Nellie[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.
