Henry is a great name. Popular but not overdone.


Where are you from and why would you say this? It was the 9th most popular boy name in 2020.

+1. I love the name, but it has peaked to the point I almost find Ryan "refreshing."

I have a Henry. There are a LOT of kids named Henry. That doesn’t bother me as my husband and I also have very common, easy to spell, short first names to go with our long, hard to spell last name.

I think I know 7 or 8 young Henry’s, and I’m not a person who like knows a lot of people, lol. It’s a nice name but I’m astounded by how popular it seems. I’d do Ryan

I know 6 Henrys under the age of five, and only 1 Ryan. Honestly OP I think with a last name like Smith you should try for something with a little more charm or pizzazz. This is like naming your kid Human Child.


+1

But if forced to choose I'd go with Ryan. Henry is just too popular in this area.

Ok, I was going to say that you need an Irish last name with Ryan. But Smith ups the ante. There are going to be 1000 Ryan Smiths. Of the two, I prefer Henry. (Full disclosure, my mom's maiden name is Ryan and it is still weird to hear it used as a first name.)

What about Hunter? Declan? Quinlan? You have more leeway with Smith than with a more burdensome last name.
