Boy MN Poll

We are pretty set on the first name Henry but we're trying to decide on a middle name. All are family names except Ryan, that one we just like. DD is Gwendolyn Fay, goes by "Gwen". Thoughts on the following, or suggestions appreciated!

I LOVE the name Henry!! Awesome name!

Ryan makes it sound modern. William is my 2nd vote.

Thanks ladies!

I chose Tabor because (i) I like the idea of a family name and (ii) William and Charles with Henry make me think of the the British royal family.

I had the same thought... thanks!

I love Henry William, and both names are so ubiquitous it didn't make me think of the royal family. Also, my DD is Gwendolyn Eve - I think we have similar taste

I picked Henry Tabor, because I like the name Tabor. I know a little boy with this name, and also I am somewhat by Mt Tabor (which is actually just a hill in the middle of Portland, Or....not really a mountain).

Tabor was my great-grandmother's maiden name, and I have always loved that for a boy! I would use it as a first name but DH isn't as crazy about it.

@danandvan Gwendolyn is my grandmother's name, and I have always loved that name! I love that it isn't terribly common but it also isn't yooneek!
