Nice name. I think of the poet Heinrich Heine and also of the Holy Roman Emperors with this name. I'd actually forgotten about Himmler, because in historical contexts, he's usually just Himmler and not Heinrich. It's not the same for the name Adolf, as AH was commonly referred to in many instances as simply Adolf, so I would understand feeling differently about the name Adolf. This isn't the same thing here, though. Again, Himmler was mostly just Himmler and not Heinrich. You will always find a negative association with anything if you look for it. I don't see anything wrong with this name.

I love this name and I prefer it over Henry. I like the soft pronunciation of the name and the fact that it's German and not overly popular nowadays.
I don't associate it with Himmeler but rather with Germany and Heinrich Heine and I also think this name is very German. I don't think we should stop using this name just because of Himmler but rather use it as a way to reclaim the name because it's a shame that this name is associated with a pathetic nazi and not the great poet Heinrich Heine.

This is a lovely name. I didn't even know of Himmler so...

What a strong, handsome name! I can definitely see it on a man of every age. Who cares about Himmler, he hasn't ruined this name for me. Every name has a famous bearer who isn't a cool person, but it still doesn't mean the name itself is unusable.

Heinrich was actually the middle name of Anne Frank's father, Otto Frank. To be honest, I would have thought of Himmler too until I found out about that. I do not know how many of you knew that until you saw this comment, but everyone who has seen The Diary of Anne Frank should at least know that he was Jewish. I admire Otto Heinrich Frank because he was a great father, and he helped many other Jews during World War II. After finding out that Heinrich was Otto Frank's middle name, I would respect Heinrich as a name, and you should too since that technically was the name of someone who suffered in the holocaust.

I’d like to suggest that the surname Hennig be added. My ancestors on my grandfather's side were originated from the German/Swiss border bearing the name Hennig. Our lineage consists of German, Scandinavian, Irish and Scottish.

Heinrich is a great name. Even though it was the name of the most evil and brutal Nazi leader to ever exist, it is still an amazing name, as well as it has many more versions like Henry or Henrik, which are used around the world to this day. Great name with an awesome meaning and great history, definitely a strong and amazing name!

This is a glorious name. I don't even care if it reminds me of Himmler. You know, "nazis" brushed their teeth too, now should we stop doing it because they did it?
