We have had quite a lot of Henry's being born recently (I live in Devon, England) so I'd say its getting more popular but not really 'cool'

I love Henry but not the nn Harry!

I love both Henry and Harry. I don't think it's old man-ish at all, but I have a tendency loving old names...

I don't care for it. I know I'm not too keen with nicknames as formal names, but I prefer Hank (Henry's nickname) as a formal name.

I'm just wild about Harry...not as keen on Henry though. ;-)
But it's quite nice...

Love it (just like I love Jack)

Henry is okay. I love Harry, though.

Henry is # 3 on my boys' list. I'm not really fond of any of the nicknames, though I could probably live with Hal if I had to. If DH and I do have a Henry, we don't plan to use any nn. I can definitely see how it has a bit of an old man feel, but I find that charming!

I love the description "cool revival" by the way.
I totally don't think it's old mannish at all.

I love Jack and I think that Henry is nice. I don't think it's too old-mannish :-)

Really like it. I love Harry and Jack too. All of them are nice names, not old-manish at all.
