Henry-9
Erik-5 (I don't like common names with uncommon spellings...you'll be sentencing the child to a lifetime of misspellings and explanations)
Dario-3
On a scale of 1 - 10, where 1 is 'do not like' and 10 'like it very much' can you pls vote between these names: Dario (letter a pronunced same as in arm), Henry and Erik for a baby boy? Thanks. What about Henri with an 'i'?
We haven't made a decision yet, but I am leaning towards Henri. What about David, is it too common?
Henry-9
Erik-5 (I don't like common names with uncommon spellings...you'll be sentencing the child to a lifetime of misspellings and explanations)
Dario-3
Henry - 10
Dario - 7
Erik - 1
Henry is such a great name - one of those old names you never hear anymore. Dario sounds cool and different. Erik is too common for me. I like names that are more unique.
Dario - 2 (It will get pronounced wrong. I said it in my head wrong before you specified the pronuciation).
Henry - 9
Erik - 7
Henry - 9
Erik - 5
Dario - 2
I'm always a little hesitant about first names that can't be learned easily by friends and neighbors. But then, my last name is practically impossible, so I never wanted to give my children TWO impossible names.
Henry is a classic European name. He can be Hank for short if he wants to. And apparently the name is making a comeback on the "popular baby name" lists, if that is important to you.
Erik with that spelling is a good Scandinavian name.
Dario sounds like a good Italian name, but it might take a little explaining (see above).
I'm voting in that order - 9 for Henry, 6 for Erik, 3 for Dario. But does it fit with your last name? Does the whole name (first, middle, last) "sing" well? Can you shout, "Henry Allen Denby [put your names in, of course], what have you DONE?" "Erik Allen Denby, dinner is in five minutes!" "Dario Allen Denby, do I have to come up there?"

henry 9
Erik 4
I guess I like old fashioned names. :-)
I vote for Henry. I really don't care for the other names enough to vote on them.
But it's your baby and your decision. Good luck.
Henry is my choice - I really like that name.

Henry 9
Erik 6
Henry, it is very common anymore but is a nice strong name.
It's hard to vote without knowing the last name... Dario (like Mario, with a "D"?) I like (8), Erik I'm not a huge fan of (6), and I love the name Henry for a blonde (10). =)
Good luck! Do the "Dinner Test". Call out the name for dinner. If you have other kids, make sure you call the names together, to make sure they sound good together. Example - "Henry! Dinnertime!"
P.S. Kids will be teased about their name at some point no matter what. I've had my name mispronounced my whole life, and had to spell it for people 90% of the time, and I LOVE it.

So I feel odd voting on the name of your child (especially because I don't know you). ;-) But I would like to point out that Dario will probably lead to a lot of teasing (either "Mario" or "Wario). Unless it's a family name or has special meaning, you might want to think about that one some. :-)
Dario - 5

Henry - 8
Erik - 7
Henry is a 10. Although I am not a fan of made up spellings, Henri is fine since that is the way Henri Bendel is spelled.
Erik (or Eric) is a 5. Its nothing exciting.
Dario is a 2.
Let us know what you pick!
Erik. Perfect 10
Henry could be called Hank or Heiri 7
Dario- unless it is a family name to honor someone -1
Dario-0
Henry-10
Erik-8, but only if you spell it Eric. Erik is short for Erika, its a more femine spelling...
Henry, 10 easy to say, and spell common but beautiful name
Erik, 8 easy to say, a few spellings, , but beautiful name,
and Dairo, 2 not easy to spell, or say
in that order.
This from a person who has a name that is uncommon and not easy to communicate, although easy to spell. I have a frustrating time communicating my name and getting people to spell it correctly!!! You may think that it is no big deal, but it is. I recommend a name that is easy to say and easy to spell. I was a first grade teacher, and kids who have easy names, even if they are long have an easier time learning to write it.
Dario - 3
Henry - 8
Erik - 5
But, this would be your son, so pick a name that you like...my daughter has an Israeli name because that is what we liked...didn't care what others think!
Henry! That name was at the top of my list but my husband nixed it. I love how it's old fashioned and yet cool. Personally, I wouldn't spell it with an 'i', unless I was French. Good luck deciding!

I like Erik - spelled that way only the best (to me, it sounds "strong").
henry (-2) I hate that name I dont know why
erik (8)
dario (3)
I don't know your last name and how these first names might sound with them. Perhaps you have an Italian name and Dario would go well with it. I think the first and last names need to sound like they belong together. My last name used to be 'Genaux' and we named our daughter 'Danielle', back when it was not a very common first name. They were both French, so they worked. That being said, here is my personal ranking of these three names, using your 1-10 scale:
Dario 3
Henry 5
Erik 10
Good luck!
Kind of helps to know the last name. Erik 9, Henry 5, Dario 1. My test for my kid's name are how well does it flow off of my tongue. Can I say the whole name really fast so they know they are in trouble, :).
I'm old fashioned
Henry--not a fan of changing the spelling of traditional names so please no Henri:)
Eric- 2nd choice
Dario sounds too much like Mario
Dario -2 : Rhymes with Mario, he may get teased for this later...maybe not
Henry -7 : good strong name, not my first choice however
Erik -8.5 : Also a strong name and my favorite of the three, but I'm curious; because you are spelling it with a "k" are you pronouncing it eer- ik instead of eh-rik?
Erik = 9
Dario = 7
Henry = 5 ( i just dont like the thought of Hank for a nick name) lol sorry !
Erik=9
Dario=6
Henry=1
Although I first thought to pronounce Dario like Dare-io as in Hi Ho the Dario, the Farmer in the Dell.
Dario-1
Henry-3
Henri-1
Erik-3
Dario - 1
Henry - 7
Erik - 8
FYI - I see your last name starts with a "D", so that's why I voted Dario so low -- I tend not to like the double initials.
I like Dario but it will NEVER be pronouced right so...
Erik 8
Dario 5
Henry 5
Henry - 10 (This was almost my son's name!) but with a "y"
Erik - 4
Dario - 1

Have you thought about Darian?
Dario - 3
Henry - 5
Erik - 9 (I like the spelling)
Fyi, my favourite boy name was Ezra :)
Dario ~ 1
Henry ~ 4
Erik ~ 8
Henry or Henri - a ten! (If I had another boy; this would be his name)
Erik is good too
Not thrilled about Dario. I think it will be mispronounced a lot. Since I have a name that is mispronounced; I am 'sensitive' to this.
Erik - 10
Henry - 7 (personally, I would not spell it with an i)
Dario - 6 (if your last name sounds really good with it i would give this on a higher score though)
I really liked Henry too but, then I realized how popular it was and i changed my mind. If that doesn't bother you then go for it, I think its an awesome name for a little boy and a grown man.
Erik is what I would go for though, it sounds strong and its not too trendy.
