"Henry is is a nice name for creative fun people that works from childhood to adulthood" Nov. 28, 2018: 
"As a kid I didn't like my middle name because it sounded like hen. Having the same first name as my father meant everyone called me by my middle name which was something I was not too thrilled about. That was a long time ago though, now I have grown into an adult and have come to love my name and what it stands for. I will be naming my son Henry." Nov. 10, 2013:
"This is my favorite boys name. As others have said, it is a very strong name, somewhat literary, and strongly regal. Excellent choice for a "little man."" Nov. 29, 2010:
"This was my Grandad's middle name. He was born at the height of it's popularity apparently. I love the name and hopefully one day will have a son to name Henry." Dec. 7, 2008:
"Oh I love Henry for a name. When I thought I was having a boy (he turned out to be a she) I wanted to name him Henry, but my husband didn't agree." Nov. 2, 2008:

"This is a great name. I named my son Henry in January of 2007. It's easy to spell and pronounce, but isn't too common, although its popularity is increasing." Feb. 19, 2008:
"I love the name but I'm glad it hasn't made it a comeback. It makes it that much cuter when you see a little Henry." Mar. 20, 2007:
"I am a Henry and love the name. In England it seems quite acceptable today, more so than it did in the early 70's when I was a child. I think the name has regal overtones and is certainly not too common, quite smart infact, which I like. I tend to be called Hen by my wife, family and close friends - go for it, it's a good name to have!" Jan. 16, 2007:
"This name is so cute! I think it should make a comeback." Dec. 23, 2006:
"This is my favorite - I will name my son Henry! (if I have one)" Jun. 5, 2006:

"I LOVE the name Henry!! it describes a lot about a person and is not very common where i live..." Nov. 7, 2010:
"As someone mentioned already, this name is getting very common in wealthier urban circles, and my guess is it will get a whole lot more common in the next few years. Still, it's a nice, solid name." Dec. 9, 2009:
"A good strong name (good enough for 8 kings of England) that seems quite rare these days amongst children. I'm praying it won't make a comeback as I don't want my children to have the same name as everyone else." Jun. 21, 2008:
"I just named my baby boy Henry. I heard that Julia Roberts named her baby Henry as well (copy cat.) Watch- This strong name is making a comeback!" Aug. 3, 2007:
"Henry is very common in white upper-middle class circles right now. Expect your child to experience the same thing that the Jennifers on the 70's expereinced-lots of friends with the same name." Mar. 3, 2007:
"I just love this name. It was one of my top choices for naming my son, born 4 mos. ago. In the end, we went with another name, but I still sometimes wonder if I should've stuck with Henry." Jan. 7, 2006:
