Uncle Henry. He should have had more lines. Source. |
Henry
English form of Heinrich, which means "home rule". Had the peak of its U.S. popularity in the 1880s, when it was #8 for boys.
Famous Henrys: Henry Ford, Henry James, Henry David Thoreau, Henry Kissinger, Henry Fonda
Fictional Henrys: Uncle Henry Gale (The Wizard of Oz), Henry Blake (M*A*S*H), Henry Higgins (My Fair Lady), Henry Alden (The Boxcar Children)
My Henrys: None that I know well, but Chad has some friends from college who have a little Henry. I've seen pics. He's a cutie.
Do you know any Henrys? Are you a Henry? Do you still cry at the the end of Henry Blake's final M*A*S*H episode, every time, even though you know how it ends? (That may just be me.)

I love the Wizard of Oz and good thought on Uncle Henry...and YES, I did cry at the end of Henry's final episode...still miss the entire show!
@Donna: Hello! *waves*
@Ruth: Yes. SO sad. :(
@Tracy: Me, too! I watch it obsessively when it's on TV Land or whatever.
I've always liked the name Henry. I'm happy it's having a resurgence in popularity.
