Help[Opinions] 'H' names from Old Norse and Old English
My wife and I are expecting a boy in April, and we want his name to start with an 'H'. I've posted on this before, and we had a wonderful suggestion: Heath. My wife wants more, though, and I'm at a loss, frankly, so if anyone has any more suggestions, it would be a big help.

I like Henry, Henrik, Hendrik, Hadrian, Hadar and Hugo. But only Henrik, Hadar and Hugo are Scandinavian.
