Tough choice! I voted for Henry. I feel like both are getting more popular but Henry has more nickname options. And I *think* (but haven't looked it up) that Henry is a bit more classic in the popularity trend anyway.
I like both, but voted Oliver so it wasn't the same name as the writer. If you do Henry James, be prepared for almost everyone who learns his middle name to be like, "Oh, Henry James like the writer?"
Tough choice - both are on our final three list. Both are adorable.
Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)
Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements
March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!
Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!
Nov. 16, 2015 FET of single adopted 5AA embryo - BFN
I just love the name Henry! I'd love to use it if the LO is a boy, but it just doesn't go well with our last name. If I'm lucky, I can talk DH into using it as a middle name, but go for Henry!

They weren't kidding when they said "Beware the Ides of March"

I voted for Henry, but love Oliver too. Of your other options, the only one I really dont like is Kieran... the rest are pretty nice. Henry and Oliver are the best though
Re: Henry or Oliver
Just looking at the first names I like Oliver better. Henry James does flow nicely, but it reminds me of the novelist. So my vote is for Oliver James.
this. I like Henry James (the name and the novelist) but I like Oliver better.
