Henry is a cool boy’s name that taps into the vintage trend. 

But what middles go with Henry? I’ve got over 200 ideas to help you pick the perfect name!

Henry is among the most popular names in the UK. It was placed at number 11 for the latest ONS baby boy names data.  

The name has climbed 23 places in the last 10 years.

What does Henry mean?

Henry is a name of German origin meaning estate or home ruler. 

It’s a strong and masculine name that is a vintage classic. Although it is of German origin it has strong connections to British history, with eight kings of England being called Henry!

Perhaps the most famous Henry of all right now is Prince Harry – yep his given name is actually Henry but he has always been known as Harry by his family and friends. 

Middle names to go with Henry 

Because Henry is such an old fashioned classic it pairs up well with other vintage names. 

Henry Arthur, Henry Luke and Henry James are all solid choices. 

Parents may also like to delve little further back to find more unusual vintage names that are lesser used today, for example Henry Chester, Henry Linus, Henry Fitzwilliam and Henry Silas. 

I also love to see Henry paired with unusual and stylish baby names, as it is in itself a very cool and sophisticated name. 

Some cool middle name pairings include Henry Axel, Henry Orion and Henry Maverick.

Final thoughts on picking a middle name for Henry

I hope you’ve been able to at least narrow down your search for a middle name for Henry.

If you are struggling to come to a final decision you can try these things:

• Write down the names. Get your shortlist and write it down on a piece of paper. Stick it to your fridge or somewhere you will see it every day. Leave it for two weeks and then revisit discussions with your partner.
• Consider the initials. Check what the name combination will be with your surname as well, just to be sure the initials don’t spell out anything unfortunate.
• Don’t rush. Naming someone is a big deal! Take your time, and you can always make a final decision after the baby is born.
