I will always love the name Hank. It's strong & masculine. It's old, classic making a comeback. It's handsome. It's short but packs a punch. I just love it & I love the nickname Hanky.

My grandson is named Hank, we call him Mr. Hank. He is a beautiful boy with a beautiful mother and father. It is a manly name and suits him. He is not ugly nor is his name. His name is a strong masculine name not a hillbilly name. It means Ruler of the House.

Sounds more like a nickname, rather than a proper first name. I can't hear either "John" nor "Henry" in this name.
It may not seem a big deal when you're with your friends, but seems quite awkward when filling out personal forms.

I absolutely love the name Hank! I will someday name my son Hank. Nickname him H. Lol. I love the name Hank, I love the classically old feel of the name. I find it a strong yet cute name for a little boy.

This is an ugly name. Anyone that tells you they love this name when you say you are naming your child Hank, is lying to your face and laughing behind your back. It's hideous.

The fact that this hideous name is currently trending just boggles my mind. Hank is dated as well and does not suit a modern-day child. Henry is far better and that's stating the obvious.

Everyone else is saying it and I must agree adamantly with them. Hank is a dated and ugly name that gives off strong redneck or hillbilly vibes. It doesn't at all work for a modern child and will make people think of "Hanky-panky"
Just stick with Henry!

Hank is an extremely dated name, for me. As in, more dated than Gary. I can't imagine a young kid going by Hank today - he'd much more likely just be called Henry.

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!

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.
