Honestly, neither.

Henry by a mile.

Henry over Ryan.

Ryan

My husband and I had this exact argument 19 years ago! I pulled rank as the mom, and our son is Henry. One of my concerns was that I knew several girls named Ryan, and I thought the name would become solely a girl's name. That didn't happen. And there are so many Henrys out there. It's a classic name, and it has family meaning for us, so I don't regret it at all, but if I didn't have a strong family connection with the name, I'd probably think twice. Still better than Ryan.

There are so, so many little Henrys out there. Truly I’d go back to the drawing board.

Ryan

Ryans are dbags

Henry out of the two

I vote for Ryan because there are a lot of toddler Henry’s out there. His 80s born teachers will adore him with that name, because we all knew some nice, good looking Ryan’s back in the day.

Love Ryan. I don't care for Henry, but I don't hate it.

I love Henry! Ryan sounds more 80'ish.

Henry

They’re both good names but I prefer Henry. Ryan was so popular amongst my peers when I was growing up that it feels like a dad name to me now. Then again Henry feels like an old man name. But I like old man names and Henry’s very popular now so it won’t be viewed that way by kids growing up now.
What goes better w your last name?
What will be the middle name?
Any sibling names it needs to “go with”? (note that I don’t personally think this is an important criteria but others do)

Ryan
