[Opinions] George, Charles and Henry.
I know a lot of people consider these names "old man" and outdated. What do you think of them?
I personally love Charles, w/ nn Charlie. I can't decide about George or Henry - I'm totally on the fence. WDYT?

I agree... Charles nn Charlie is a great, classic name. I really like Henry, but I too am unsure about George.
I really like George and Henry, and I'm okay with Charles, esp. nn Charlie. Overall, I think the names go very well together.

I love all three!
Those names are so common in English royal history. :]
Mmmm. I like George better than Henry.
Henrey reminds me of Henry the 8th every time I think about that, not a good thing.

I love Henry as a first name and George as a middle name. I dislike Charles because all I think is Prince Charles and I dislike him. However, I love Charlie.

Charles is actually a favorite of mine too (but I like the name best in the full form, which is typical of me with names that are often nicknamed). The other two are okay but nothing that I'm excited about.
I love them, but I love a lot of old-fashioned names. All of these are making (or have made) a comeback, though. I adore Henry, and I like Charles but I love Charlie (I'd only use it as a nn for Charles, though). George is great but it's the name of a family member I don't particularly want to honor, which sucks because I adore Georgina and Georgia for girls. However, my mn is Georgette (after this family member, incidentally) so maybe I could use one of those to honor me. :)

George is nmsaa; of the three it seems the most dated to me, and I'm just not fond of the sound of it.
Charles is a very nice name. I also like the NN Charlie.
Henry is okay, not a fave of mine, but not bad either. I go back and forth on it.

I love all three of these names to be honest. I actually know more young George's than old ones, and it's always been one of my favorites. I absolutely love the name Charles with the nn Charlie, and this definitely doesn't strike me as an "old man" name. I like Henry, but I have a bad association with it. Otherwise I'd love it as much as the others.

I'm the exact opposite. I love Henry, and if not for someone I know who bears it, I would also love George. I think they're handsome and traditional without being stodgy. Charles is the only one that I find wholly unappealing for its sound. Charlie is a cute NN, but I think that it's become rather modern, so the NN Charlie doesn't quite flow with George and Henry for me.
