I love Henry. But I don't like the nickname Harry.

Jack is way too popular these days, otherwise I'd choose it myself.
I really like Henry and the nn Harry. I also admire that you've chosen names that are both classic and correctly spelled. Nice work!

I voted for William Harrison, but I love the name Jack. If Jack had been an option as a first name I would have voted for it. Popularity of names differ depending on the area you live. I know of 2 Jacks and only one of them is a child and the other is his Father, he's a jr. So Jack is no where near being too popular name, here anyway.
