Comments for the name Hank

Actor Hank Azaria and character Hank Hill on "King of the Hill."

A famous bearer of this name would be Hank Williams Sr. He is a very notable singer and song writer in country music history.

I would not name my kid Hank. It just sounds like hillbilly trash to me. I'm sorry, but that's what it just reminds me of.

Henry "Hank" McCoy, better known as "Beast" is a Marvel comics superhero best known as a member of the X-Men.

One of the most hideous names ever. It makes me picture a fat, balding redneck. Plus, it makes me think about the annoying expression 'hanky-panky'.

Let's not be forgetting Hank Williams Jr. or Hank Lochlin, both great singers in their own right (if you haven't heard of Please Help Me, I'm Falling, you have issues).

Hank Green, the "younger half" of the wildly popular (and endlessly awesome) internet project, Vlogbrothers.

Hank [short for Henry] Cunningham is a character in Elizabeth Berg's novel "Dream When You're Feeling Blue". In the story Hank says that he prefers being called 'Hank' to 'Henry' because 'Henry' is just to formal.

There's also Hank Venture from the show 'The Venture Brothers'. Other than that, I find Hank to be a bland name. It would be suitable for a boy scout. If, you know, you somehow could tell your son was going to be a boy scout.

The poet Charles Bukowski (1920-1994) was only called Hank, never Charles. (His full name was Henry Charles Bukowski.)

I do not like this name for the following reasons: 1. It just doesn't sound nice; 2. The phrase "hanky-panky," like Slight Night Shiver said; 3. Hankies, or as some would say, tissues. Altogether, no thanks!

Dr. Henry "Hank" Lawson is a leading character of USA Network's hit television series "Royal Pains."
American actor Mark Feuerstein brilliantly portrays the concierge doctor through all of his trials and triumphs.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Hank The Cowdog of the humorous book series as a famous bearer!
