Another of my colleagues had a baby this week - well, his wife did.

The name is:

Harry Joseph

What do you think? I always associate Harry with cocky posh boys. Also, the surname begins with R so I think when you say Harry (surname) there are too many R sounds... Apart from that I think its nice enough, if not really my style.

That's kind of what I thought at first but I dunno...I don't generally like the use of shortened names as given names, but I can see how one could like Harry and not Henry. I also think it's probably distinct enough to be used as a name in its own right. None of the Harrys I've known (I can think of 3) have actually been Henrys.

Yeah, I can understand that. Too many same-syllable sounds just bug me for some reason, but that's just my opinion.
