[Opinions] Hennepin?
Ok, so this has been a huge GP of mine lately. I'm still not sure if I prefer it for a boy or girl though. The fact that it's a surname makes me lean male but the sound of it and possible nn of Henny makes me think female. What do you think and do you find it at all usable?

It's kind of neat. I'd assume it was masculine, but I could see it being used on a girl. I've never seen it as a surname, so it's totally new to me. The first thing I thought of was Henny Penny, which is a cute association and I guess also makes me think girl. I wouldn't say it's usable unless it's a family surname. Random surnames used for no reason irk me. But I'm assuming this is purely hypothetical anyway. :)

It sounds cool. I'm imagining it on some sort of eccentric novel character... possibly in a steampunk story... hmm. I'm liking it on a boy-- it's not bad on a girl, but on a boy it makes me think of a really loopy uber-eccentric person with a British accent and a top hat, and that's kind of awesome.
