[Opinions] WDYT of Henry?
WDYT of Henry? Also, what combos would use with it. I think John Henry or Jonathan Henry flows quiete well, both being classic names.

Most of the time my favorite name for a male is Isaac James, but lately it has occasionally been usurped by Henry Samuel. These two combos vie for my No. 1 spot for a boy lately.

I know two little Henry's and both are adorable. One is 18 months and one is 3. I really like John Henry as a double first name. Jonathan Henry is nice too but a little long.

I adore Henry. I used it as my son's middle name (Griffin Henry), but I will often call him Henry.

I love Henry! But I am biased because it is the name my son's parents picked out for him. His name is Henry Oliver which I just love and they call him Hank sometimes.

I really can't find a polite word to say about Henry. Bland, flabby, totally without charm. Harry is better but only just.Combos? Not really. Jonathan is also bland and flabby, so it could work.

It used to be a dear favourite of mine, but it really has been sullied for me, for reasons too personal to explain, and in any case it is immensely popular here in the UK, which I personally find quite off-putting. I would be more inclined to pair an unusual name with Henry, but if you want something more everyday I'd go for Elliott Henry, Leo Henry, Miles Henry, or perhaps Rowan Henry.

I love imagining Henry on a little boy. I think it's timeless. Jonathan Henry or Henry Jonathan are awesome!

I've never really liked it, but I'm warming to Henrik. Jonathan Henry is quite nice. I like the nicknames Harry and Hen.

Both Jonathan and Henderson, a form of Henry are family naames. Perhaps Jonathan Henderson or JOhn Henderson as a combo?

I like Henderson- it's not normally the usual sort of name I like, but I do. It's a nice middle name, and to me it doesn't sound as pretentious as Henry. I really like Henderson John, but Jonathan Henderson is nice, too.

I've grown to really like Henry. It's warm. John Henry does flow well, but I'm not sure if it sounds so good because it's part of the American unconscious or whatever (because of the folk hero). I'd go with George Henry - same flow, similar sounds.

Well, it is getting popular where I live, so that's a little minus for me. Plus, I met one named Henry who was a bit of a sore-eye, so that put me off quite a bit, in other words, a big minus.
