    sorry dont like it. Its much tooooo old for my liking. Sounds nerdy i think. I think if i heard a mother call her kid henry i would have a little chuckle to myself. Im sorry, but im quite honest.

    What about Harry? thats abit better
    or Hamish..

    Henry is an absolutely gorgoeus name. I have recently heard the names George and Stanley - which i think probably come from the same era. Looking in a name book you may think - too old sounding, but when you meet the children with those names you begin to like the sound of them.
    I'd say go for it. There are way more weird sounding names out there

    Thank you for your input ladies!

    The older the better for us.. We love classic historical names

    We find out the gender next week anyway so you never know it may be a girl after all that!
    That's where the fun begins as we can't decide on a girls name, everything we liked is now in the top 10 which we DON"T like!

    Peanut baby - just re-read my post - I didn't mean that I think that Henry is a weird sounding name. I'd like one of my girls to date a Henry (in about 30 years!!!!!)
    I love it when I take my daughter Hannah to my grandmother's nursing home - they love that her name is from their era.

    I think it is a really cute name! I'm right into older names at the moment: Henry, Roger, George, they are all good!

    I love the name Henry... so much so that it is DS2's name. Additionally, he is a delightful child with a great sense of humour, sensitive to the feeling of others and has a great mind!
