Or wait, did you mean Prince Charles' son is actually

named "Henry"?
(Light goes on - silly me). Here, I looked it up: "Henry

Charles
Albert David". Nonetheless, he goes by Harry (at least in

public),
so it isn't a "common name", it's a Prince's nickname.

Good enough
proof for me.


lol yes I meant the Prince not the book Character.
You have to remember though that British society is very
classist and often in the past comon folk would 'try' and
elevate their status is society by naming their child an
upper class name. Then this in turn would become a common
name due to over use. Kind of like the sneeches with stars
story....lol
