Henry vs. Brody

mamathompson7 · May 2014

I LOVE the name Henry for a boy. My son's name is Hunter, and I think they go well together, and my daughter's name is Charlotte and I think that Henry goes with that as well.

My husband wants the name Brody STRICTLY b/c his fave movie is Jaws and one character is Chief Brody. I am a teacher and have seen the whole 'Br' name trend hit hard, and I also see Brody as a 'renegade', haha! I visualize Henry as a sweet little boy. After my son Hunter, we need sweet.... no more renegade!

If I tell any of our friends the name choice it is pretty much a 75/25 split in favor of Brody. I am not putting too much stock in their opinion b/c they are the same people who hated the name Charlotte for my daughter (and have all changed their minds apparently).

CanI get your honest opinions? I'm not saying it will change my mind on the name, but I just want to see what a bigger pool of people think.

I prefer Henry, and I think it sounds better with your other children's names.

Love Henry! I'm not sure why I dislike Brody so much but I'm not a fan.

Henry!! I really don't like Brody

Henry by a mile. I also strongly dislike Brody.

I love Henry. It compliments Charlotte very nicely.

Brody rhymes with grody, that sums it up for me.

Another Henry vote here. It's classic and handsome, while Brody is a bro.

FakeFinn · May 2014

That's easy: Henry. Henry is a classic, it works for a small child as well as an adult. I'm not a fan of Brody.

Though I dislike alliteration in sibsets, Henry is the obvious choice here. I really dislike Brody.

I much prefer Henry! However, I'm a little eh just because your son's name is Hunter. But they don't rhyme or anything, so I'd still go that route. Brody just sounds forever juvenile to me.
