My son's name is Henry and he gets called hank by FIL. It's pretty adorable on a toddler and ages well, I think it sounds good as a stand alone name or a NN
I'm not a huge fan of single-syllable names. I'm okay with Hank as a nn for Henry.
Honestly, though, it seems a little trendy. Kind of the boy name equivalent of the "little old lady" names for girls that are so popular now. It seems like a forced attempt to be old-fashioned and off the beaten path. This may not be what you have in the back of your mind, but it's what a lot of other people may think.
Thanks for the input, pretty much how I feel. It however is about the only name we both like enough to be okay with it if we use it! The days are limited hopefully under five! So if you have any other idea along the lines of Hank, feel free to share!
I strongly dislike Hank. I don't like how it looks or sounds and it has a country/redneck feel to it for me. BUT I also don't like Henry, which I know is very popular.
