Henry is often "shortened" to Harry - even though they are the same length (so I don't really understand it) - not many people know that Prince Harry's real name is Henry.
I like both your names maybe have a couple options for middles names... if your set on the first names then keep them, and just have a couple extra names you can change to suit bub ...I'm with you i do like traditional names - but not overly common... we are going with Jasmyn Isabelle if its a girl and William John Neville if its a boy.... so similar in style to yours.
My friend named her daughter Charlotte Ava-Grace... which i think is really pretty. I think the middle name adds to the first name (plus i don't have a middle name - hence why i love them lol)
As for a nickname for Henry - ppl get nicknames for things they do and like also not just a shortened version of their name.
Hard work naming babies isn't it?
FWIW we only had one name for each sex too. We thought we were going to deliver at 25weeks with Nate and picked the 2 names then - and then never changed them. It seemed so natural to have his name 'ready' when he was born.
With Darcy we had a few and even I was surprised when she was born and they asked her name and with out any consultation Dh said 'Darcy'. lol I love it now though.
we only ever had the one namepicked for our children, if you both like them you may never add any names to a list because they wont compare to your chosen name! oe you will always keep going back to those names!
