Re: Harry is not just a nn
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.

I know that. I am not saying you cannot use Harry if you want to use Harry. I am simply saying that because you like BOTH Harry and Henry that you could use the fn of Henry since Harry is a nn for Henry - that way you get to use BOTH!
