Yes, it was. Henry was my father's name, along with six other Kings before him. It is an honor to be have the name of a great ruler of the past bestowed upon you. Of course, new names have their own unique sort of spark - so much potential to make that label grand in it's own right, to make it ripe and ready to be passed onto someone; to have worth and glory to share with the one who will carry on the name.
Is your name unique to your person or one borrowed from a namesake?
