Henry?

[PeanutBaby]

Hi ladies, what do think of Henry?

We both love it but is it a name our child would like growing up?

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

I like it. Henry sounds strong and smart. It was also my dad's nickname.

Plus I just thought there are so many important people named Henry. Cant think of any but there are lots.

Ohhhh I love the name Henry!!! My DH doesn't want me to use it

Little boy in my mum's group is called Henry! He is 7 months old ans so cute....suits the name!!
It's very old fashioned but I like it!!

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

[PeanutBaby]

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!

[LucaJack'sMum]

Yep LOVE it!!

Sorry its too old fashioned , but thats my taste.

So have you found out the sex yet?

I love old fashioned names.....with just about the only execption being Henry lol. It just sounds way too much like hen (as in chook) to me, but maybe thats cos we have hens so its a word I am saying and hearing a lot.

I love George, Oliver, Joseph, Heath, Miles, Nathaniel, Poppy, Hazel, Ingrid, Lola and Josephine though.

[PeanutBaby]

ah well girls, we found out we are having a little girl!! so no need to think about the boys name for now

I also knew a Genevieve who was nn'd "evie" Biggest brown eyes you've ever seen. Still amazed I didn't drown in them.

I LOVE Henry. We're thinking of naming bubs Henry Joseph if he's a boy. A bit classic, a bit different, but no too common or uncommon. We've always loved the name, and there is the cutest little boy called Henry Martin in my class. He's 7 months old and laughs all day. He's such a darling!!

Can't wait to hear what you're having. I'd find out tomorrow if I could...

Have fun choosing. What are you ideas for girl names?

[Bub4me]

Oh - just missed your post. I LOVE Harriet, and also don't mind Stella (didn't like it till I had a 3 year old in my class last year named Stella, and now I just think of "Miss Personality" -- don't think I'd name my kids Stella, but don't mind the name). I also like Genevieve (nickname Vieve), from a similar era.
