[Opinions] 'H' names from Old Norse and Old English
by Lars
12/30/2005, 6:43 PM
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."But it’s all right now.
I learned my lesson well.
You see you can’t please everyone
So you got to please yourself."
