It's nice enough. I didn't use to like it at all, but it's really been growing in my estimation lately.
A lot of mn's would go nicely. Henry Alasdair, Henry Nathanael, Henry Elijah, Henry Malachi, Henry Joseph, Henry Christopher, Henry Jude, Henry Frederick, Henry Daniel, Henry Luke, Henry Samuel, Henry Oliver, just to name a few.
I'm not loony about either, but much prefer Henry over Harry.
Henryk is nice, if not really my style.

What do you think of Henry?
- It's alright. I don't mind it.
What would be the best mn for Henry?
- Henry Jasper, Henry Oliver, Henry Gideon
Which is nicer Henry or Harry?
- I go back and forth on which I prefer! It used to be Harry, then it was Henry for a little while, now it's definitely Harry again.
What do you think of Henryk? yes, Henry with K on the end?
- I don't like it.
any opinions?
- No, I'm done!

I like Henry, and it's meaning.
I don't like Harry. Obvious teasing potential.
Henryk: I think people will think you've made it up, which isn't necessarily a nice thing to think, or pronounce it "henry-k" as a joke. Henrik is nice though.

Henry Jacob
Henry Christopher
Henry Nicholas

What do you think of Henry?
I like it a lot. I couldn't use it myself due to a bad association, unfortunately, but it's fine for someone else's kid.
What would be the best mn for Henry?
The best? Gee, I don't know. Henry August is quite the popular one around here - how about Henry Christopher, Henry Gabriel, Henry Samuel, Henry Peter, Henry Paul? I don't know your style, but those may appeal to you. :)
Which is nicer Henry or Harry?
Depends. I love Henry on it's own and Harry as a nn for Harrison.
What do you think of Henryk?
It's nice if you have Polish routes. But like I said before, I have a negative association with a Henry, and he happened to be very Polish, and his full name just happened to be Henryk. =/

I like Henry
I would use a long mn, Henry Alexander, Henry Sebastian, Henry Dominic, Henry Jonathan, Henry Julian, Henry Benjamin
Henryk is fine if he has Polish roots, Henri if he has French roots and Henrik if he has Scandinavian roots. Otherwise it might look contrived.
I like both Henry and Harry. One disadvantage with Harry is if other boys tease him with "hairy". With Henry you can in that case use Henry, Hank or Hal (the shakespearian nn) instead of Harry.

I adore Henry.
Mn would really depend on your naming style. Personally I adore Henry Augustus, Henry Leopold, and Henry Nathanael.
Harry is very cute, but Henry is better, imo. It gives you the option of using Harry as a nn while having a more formal name to use as the child grows.
I prefer Henry myself, but Henryk is nice enough.

Harry is not just a nn
Actually is is a form of the French Henri (it became Harry when the English tried to pronounce it). I would not hesitate to use Harry as formal name, if I liked it better than Henry.
So what if people use it as a nn for Henry? Jack used to a nn for John but is used in its own right now.

Look it up here on BtN, it says that Harry is a medieval form of Henry.
Just b/c a name is used as a nn, does not mean that is must be only a nn. For instance, just b/c Lily is used as a nn for Lilian and Liliana, does not mean that it is not a "real name" in itself.
