Henri or Laurens

15 replies

RoseGuest ·
What do you think of Henri? In his French version, since part of the family is French-speaking. But the majority is Dutch-speaking. I also think Charlie is super beautiful, but my husband doesn't like it because of Charlie Hebdo. Laurens was my first choice, but he quickly disappeared from the stage. I think it will be Henri Jr., but sometimes I still hesitate.
Any more ideas?

    Henri
    My husband's name is Henrico, maybe a bit like Enrico?

    Laurens! I like that better for all ages. I find a child named Henri less appealing than Laurens.

    Laurens!
    We have a Henri in the family and it's always "drama" with his name! People pronounce it as Hendrie!
    On top of that, it's always spelled wrong. People write Hendry or Hendri(e).

    I like Henri.

    Otherwise, here are some more:
    Frédéric
    Jean
    Gabriel

    I don't know... I think both are okay but not beautiful.
    Other options:
    Elias
    Lenn
    Tom
    Julian
    Lex
    Robin

    I think Henri is beautiful and Laurens is fine.

    Otherwise, there's also Laurent, the French version of Laurens.

    Thanks for your replies!
    Henri has been in our heads for a few months now, and we're kind of stuck on it, but I haven't really had that true WAUW feeling for a boy's name yet.
    Laurent isn't really my husband's favorite... it's already been ruled out!
    I like Robin too, but my husband doesn't.
    With many other names, we do have acquaintances or family members with that name.
    .... It's tough... Recently, I've also been thinking about Vince, but it's sooooo popular. I don't want different friends to have the same name.

    Other suggestions and comments are always welcome!

    Auric?
    Richard?

    Maybe Camile, Emile, Jullien, Yves, Linus, Leroi, Chris(tophe), Vick, or Blaize.

    Is there anything in here that catches your eye?

    Our boy name would have been Jules, which is French if I'm not mistaken. But we're having a girl

    I think Nico and Leo are beautiful, they can also be in French.
