Henrik again - why is picking a name so hard??

samm1983

So I asked about Henrik several months ago, and it looks like it is still our top name as we are within a few weeks of this baby being born.  We picked this name because DH really liked Henry and I am not quite on board with such a popular name.  I also wanted a way to honor my brother (rik) who passed away recently.  I'm not really sure what my reservations are, but I question whether it goes well with his siblings and is ok with our last name.  I normally wouldn't pick a name that ended with K because our last name begins with K.  Ok?  Not okay?

Hi! I read the previous thread but didn't comment. Henrik is a solid name, good for both a little boy and grown man. I love how it honors your brother; yes, it goes well with the sibs. If you're still noncommittal, have two names at the ready and decide when you meet him. Good luck!

I like Henry much better. I think the popularity/style matches siblings better.

I think Henrik goes well and the sentiment behind it makes it a no brainer. Wishing you a great labor!

Henrik is fine. If you like it, do it.

I prefer Henry in general, but like the sentimental meaning of Henrik. It goes fine with his sibling's names.
