I might have said yes about 5 years ago, but it is definitely having a comeback and is quite popular on little boys!

Is it grandpa-sounding? Yes. Is it TOO grandpa-sounding? I don't think so. I think it's a classic and it hasn't really fallen completely out of use in recorded history. Besides, it's far more cool than a lot of the so-called cool names that are repeated over...and over...and over...and over again.

Those are terrible, too but Henry is still the worst.

I'm just curious...but how is it the worst? It's not an animal, it doesn't rhyme with anything awful...I mean, it's not one I'd use (too common for me,) but I'm really curious as to how it landed that rank for you.

Thought you might be interested in Henry's popular for the last 50 years:

As you can see, it's geting quite popular again, so I guess a lot of people don't think it's too grandpa sounding! as I said, I love the name!
