H
How would you name your son and daughter using the first name initial “H”If you could get away with guilty pleasure names, which names would you choose?

Holden and Harlow
Hayden and HesterI love Hermione but I don’t think I could use it as a first name now as most people will immediately assume that I got it from Harry Potter and no doubt people will often bring that up. When if fact it’s a very old name and anyone who was in to Greek mythology will likely have come across it as she was the daughter of Menelaus and Helen of Troy. Along with Shakespeare using it in A Winters Tale in 1610 and at least two British actresses Hermione Ferdinanda Gingold who played the grandmother in a film I enjoy from 1958 and Hermione Norris a tv actress I have seen in quite a few things.

Hendrik and HaniaorHieronymus and Hellenore
Oh I love Hellenore so much
I love how Shakespearean this combo is.
Hilde and Hugo most likely. A GP son would be Herodion "Hero"
A daughter would still be Hilde, maybe Hildegard "Hilde"
Helvi and HugoGP: Hjördis and Horatio
Boy - Hamish or Horatio
Girl - Hayley or Hope
Girl: Helena

I would choose Helen and Henry. Some days I might say Helena. They all sound lovely with my surname.
Girl: Hazel (GP Hartley)
Boy: Henry (GP Hades)
Hugo/Hayden and Hesper
Hyakinthos and Harlow
Henry and HaileyGP: Hezekiah and Harmony
Hopestill (Hope) & Huck GP: Honesty* & Herbert (Herb)*after the flowers
Héctor & Helena.Unrealistically, Hyacinth (m) & Hesper (f).
Hugo/Hugh or Hilton; Heather or Helen. I don't feel guilty about any names.Hugo Daniel Keith; Heather Cecily Joy
Hilton Fraser Ian; Helen Ruth Penelope
Henry and Heather
Hector And Hana
Hercules And HestiaCouldn't decide..
In Czech, I'd go with Hynek and Hilda. In an international context, I'd change Hynek to Hudson.My guilty pleasure H names are Hildebrand and Hesperos for a boy, and Hero for a girl (sounds too ambitious).
Hynek is adorable :)
Hera & Hunter
Danish/Nordic: Hjalte & Hedvig
Hjalte: https://www.behindthename.com/name/hjalte/submitted?id=25929Other: Hugh & HazelAny other: Herakles & Hathor
