HenryThough I LOVE that Isaac means "laughter", Henry is just so great as a name for all stages of a boy's life. A little toddler named Henry or Harry is beyond adorable, and ages well as he grows to manhood. I do not like "Ike" as a nn for Isaac, but I like Harry and even Hank for Henry.

Lol, my old band director just had a son she named Henry Isaac. :DI think I prefer Isaac. I've never been a huge fan of Henry. No real reason why, I just thought it sounded silly when I was a kid and I never grew out of that.

Henry, hands down. I think it's such a classic, old fashioned name. Isaac is very harsh and unappealing sounding to me.

I love Henry - its masculine, handsome and old worldly. Isaac is too trendy and popular these days, especially the nn Zac.

Isaac for me. It's one of my favorite names, very strong, has a nice enough history. Henry has too many bad associations for me to even consider.

Isaac is a very handsome, strong, intellectual name. It's rare to find a name with that combo of qualities.

Both are very nice! Henry is a personal fave. Isaac is too biblical for my tastes since I'm not particularly religious, but that obviously doesn't apply to everyone. I love Henry because I think it's the perfect balance of friendly/loving/laid-back and sturdy/strong/refined.

Both are very strong, masculine and handsome names, but I'd probably be more inclined to go with Isaac. I do like Henry a lot, but actually prefer Harry over Henry. Isaac I like because it's Biblical and it has a great meaning too.

Tough choice. I like the sound of Henry better, but I like the meaning of Isaac better. If I had to choose, Isaac would only just slighty edge out Henry. But only just. I'm big on meanings, and Isaac just has such a great meaning. But either way you can't go wrong.

Henry, I've never liked Isaac.

Henry. Very regal, but also very grounded and still modern.

I'm not much of a fan of Biblical names, although Isaac is quite nice. I prefer Henry because it's my Grandpa's name (Harry).

Henry! It's so handsome and regal, but simple at the same time.I don't really like Isaac. I just dislike the sound and don't like the look of the aa.

Henry. Isaac is a great name too, but Henry is a favourite.

Isaac. There's no reason why I should prefer it more. Actually, by logic I should prefer it less. No nicknames, more popular, popular in more countries than Henry, and Henry isn't associated with the bible. Regardless, I still prefer Isaac.

Henry! Both are very handsome names, but Henry is one of my absolute, all time favourites.
