Henry or Graham?

I think I would use Henry. This might be silly, but I’d be concerned about kids calling him graham cracker. I know kids can tease about anything, but why set up such an obvious one?

I’m in DC and have a 4 year old and know multiple Henry’s and no Graham’s, if that makes a difference to you. There was a year in daycare where Henry’s had to go by Henry last initial.

I have an 11 yr old Graham and can report that there really hasn’t been much (if any) calling him Graham cracker. Maybe when he’s 12....

I think Graham is growing. I know two infants named Graham (one born to a family with multiple kids with "trendy" names) but no older kids.

Love Graham. My kid had one in his playgroup and he was the sweetest kid, so good associations with that name.

I have a Henry so obviously love the name but it is pretty popular, if that bothers you. Graham is ok but I wouldn’t use it unless it’s a family name or you have a strong positive association with it. Otherwise I wouldn’t like it enough to use it.
