An old school chum has had her first son: Abby and Jonathon welcome Griffin Leonard.While my cousin, Jason, and his wife, Amy, have also welcomed a first son named Henry William.*My opinionsI like Griffin on somebody else's child, first one I've ever known. I find Leonard really ugly though.I was really hoping my cousin and his wife would go for something a bit more adventurous but they're very traditional people so I'm not surprised. William is also my cousin's middle name, and the combo is actually the reverse of our maternal grandfather's (he was William Henry known as "Harry").http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/117870?sort=rank&pop=ew

Griffin is my nephew's name. I like it. I also like Leonard. I like them together as Griffin is so modern and has a cool vibe and Leonard is so traditional and kind of nerdy. They balance each other.
I like Henry. I find William boring. But I appreciate the sentiment behind the name.

I like Henry William. I recently met an Edith Mae. I think names like that are traditional but not boring, imo, since you really don't actually meet many. Like you, I like Griffin on someone else's child and I find Leonard really ugly...and prissy for that matter. Its in the vein of Preston.

I don't like Griffin or Leonard (but I love Leo)
I love Henry, it's on my short list. William is alright.

Hi Millie !!!Abby & Jonathon: I dislike both names. Abby seems 'abbey' and I hate the name Abigail.Griffin* Leonard. I love Griffin. It is modern and great. Jason & Amy*: Jason is boring. Amy is stunning as full name.Henry William*. I much prefer Harry as full name. William is always awesome.
