Another Henry...

I just found out that Minnie Driver's baby is named Henry.

Rachel Weisz named her baby Henry.

Seal and Heidi Klum named their baby Henry.

Julia Roberts named her baby Henry.

I'm sure there are more. It's so strange. I've never even met a person named Henry and now it's such a popular boy name. It's like some name-fairy whispers into the ears of pregnant women at night and when we wake up we shout, "Henry", now there's a good name! And I'm sure all those women are like me and never thought Henry would be their child's name. Had I been told in high school that one day I would have a son and his name would be Henry, I would never have believed it. Why would I choose the name Henry over something way cooler, like Dane?

Same with our daughter. I assure you as a child I never scribbled the name Eleanor in my diary. But again, the name fairy. Because I have no epiphany to share, no story to tell of how we decided on her name. It just...is.
