I think of a 70 year old red headed man.
Henry was the number one name last year in our state. I know soooooo many that have a Henry between the ages of 3 and 5. It seems overused.
Very cool name.
I knew a Henry who was the most brilliant person I've ever known and was funny, kind, and charismatic and he was two years older than me, but overall, I think this name is so amazing, and it's old but modern and so interesting all at the same time. I will definitely name one of my children after him.

Sir Henry Merrivale (known to those close to him as H.M.) is a fictional amateur detective / barrister / government operative, created by mystery author John Dickson Carr under the pseudonym of Carter Dickson. H.M. works for a dilapidated espionage department in Westminster, but spends much of his time aiding his friend Chief Inspector Masters in puzzling cases which seem to be impossible. From a fraudulent medium killed in a shed with its door locked on both sides, barred windows, and no footprints in the mud around it all next to a haunted house; to a stabbing done by an apparently invisible killer and weapon in front of witnesses at a French chateau where a master thief is hiding; to defending a young man found in an ostensibly locked and sealed room with a man stabbed by an arrow which apparently only he could have done; and even figuring out if and how a mentalist could kill two people just by thinking them to death without a scratch; H.M.'s cases are baffling but all have a sensible explanation behind them. H.M. often speaks in slang and strange oaths like "Lord love a duck!", enjoys reading pulp fiction, actively avoids being made a member of the House of Lords, and always wears a ridiculous top hat.
This name is really growing on me. I can't say it's one of my favorites, but I must admit, it definitely has a sweet timeless charm about it. It ages beautifully, as well.
One of my favorite male names that are handsome and timeless!When I think of the name Henry, I picture a little boy with straight hair in bowl or curtain cut.
I would probably like it more if it weren't so overused. It just seems boring to me. No offense to those named Henry or to those who like the name, though.
It's handsome.
Antiquated and boring name.
Addressed to the comment that was typed on 03/03/21. There is nothing antiquated nor boring about the regal name that is known as Henry. Your comment on the other hand can be described exactly as you have said about this handsome name.Good day.
I find this name a bit funny. For some reason I always want to pronounce it Hhhhhhhhhhenry.

King Henry VIII of England. King Henry had eight wives and was the father of Mary, Queen of Scots and Queen ELizabeth I.
Corin Amour Bernard, I am sorry to say that you are incorrect when detailing Henry VIII as being the father of Mary Queen of Scots. No, he was not her father. Her great uncle, yes, through her grandmother, princess Margaret Tudor who was the elder sister of King Henry VIII and was subsequently married to the Scottish King James IV. The Mary you are confusing the Scottish queen with was none other than Mary I of England, also known as "Bloody Mary". Mary I was the only surviving child of King Henry VIII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Queen Elizabeth I was the only surviving child of King Henry's second marriage to Anne Boleyn of whom he had beheaded for alleged adultery when she could not bear him a son.
PS- King Henry VIII had only six wives and not eight.

Does this name have anything to do with 'cold water'?

Nice name for a boy.
Despite all the evil associations I still love this name.
I really want to love the name Henry. It looks great when written down, it has a very rich history, so many literary connections and famous bearers, and it's arguably the best classic boys name ever. With that being said I unfortunately don't quite love this name, I simply like it. I think the only thing that keeps me from loving it is how it sounds when said out loud. However, if you love the name Henry I would highly recommend using it. You can't go wrong with such a classic name!
Strong and medieval.
I love the name Henry. I disagree with anyone saying it's too common. I've never met or heard of anyone named Henry. It's a great name with great history and has great associations.
I don't know if this is good for 'famous bearer', but I have noticed this is a common video game protag/antag/helpful person in game name, and thinking maybe in the namesakes that should be a category. For example, Henry Stein from the horror game BATIM, (Bendy and the Ink Machine) who is the protagonist. Also, in FNaF (Five Nights at Freddy's), the man who gives you instructions in many of the games is Henry Emily. He also plays a part in the FNaF books, and is Co-owner of the Pizzeria. I'm sure there are more.
Handsome and strong.

Even if I prefer its variant Harry I think that this name is respectable and simple at the same time.

My 18 month old is named Henry and I love it! It's classic and strong, but sweet and friendly at the same time. Looks like its popularity is on the rise, though I have yet to meet another little boy named Henry.

I highly recommend this name to anyone considering it! :)
Really does suit all ages. I love this name!
Such a sweet name. I love it. I'll probably use it as a middle name :)

I like the name, but a boy would possibly be mocked at school with this name, so I named my dog Henry. That's not to say I think it's only fit for a dog, I just don't like the idea of a child being made fun of because his name has the word "hen" in it.
I agree with those who say that this transits nicely with these days. One of those names that doesn't go out of style like Charles, James, Adam, etc.
I love this name but it seems to be becoming very popular recently. It always reminds me of Henry V from Shakespeare.

When all the kids today are named Shawn, Brad and Micheal, you'll regret you didn't pick Henry.

Henry Valentine Miller (December 26, 1891 – June 7, 1980) was an American writer and, to a lesser extent, painter. He is known for breaking with existing literary forms and developing a new sort of "novel" that is a mixture of novel, autobiography, social criticism, philosophical reflection, surrealist free association, and mysticism, one that is distinctly always about and expressive of the real-life Henry Miller and yet is also an imaginative construct. His most characteristic works of this kind are Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, and Black Spring. He also wrote travel memoirs and essays of literary criticism and analysis.He was played by Fred Ward in the 1990 movie Henry & June, and Rip Torn in the 1970 film adaptation of Tropic of Cancer.

Henry Jaynes Fonda (May 16, 1905 – August 12, 1982) was a highly acclaimed Academy Award-winning American film actor, best known for his roles as plain-speaking idealists. Fonda's subtle, naturalistic acting style preceded by many years the popularization of method acting.Fonda made his mark early as a Broadway actor, and made his Hollywood debut in 1935. Fonda's career gained momentum after his Academy Award-nominated performance in 1940's The Grapes of Wrath, an adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel about an Oklahoma family who moved west during the Dust Bowl. Throughout six decades in Hollywood, Fonda cultivated a strong, appealing screen image in such classics as The Ox-Bow Incident, Mister Roberts, and 12 Angry Men. Later, Fonda moved toward both more challenging and lighter roles in such epics as Once Upon a Time in the West and family comedies like Yours, Mine and Ours (with Lucille Ball).He was the patriarch of a family of famous actors, including daughter Jane Fonda, son Peter Fonda, granddaughter Bridget Fonda, and grandson Troy Garity.In 1999, he was named the sixth Greatest Male Star of All Time by the American Film Institute.
