My thanks to the "description" under the title on the front page. I wouldn't have guessed Horace otherwise... :)

Sadly my name did not make the cut, Heath is a great name even though it translates to Wasteland.

@Lprdgecko: Same. And if I'd looked at the icon, I'd have gotten Harvey too. And I missed Homer. D'oh!

You can always tell when one of these is published, because the whole of the popular section is just full of names by decade :)

@shine: in Britain and parts of Europe a heath isn't a wasteland, it's a particular type of open land with vegetation such as heather and gorse. Heathland, as an ecosystem in itself, is deliberately preserved in places such as the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

No Heathcliff? Even as a bonus? Disgraceful. I'm trying to settle how I shall pay triplet_3 back. I don't care how long I wait, if I can only do it at last. I hope he will not die before I do!

It seems quite unusual that the most popular H name of the last 20 years is among the least guessed. (Though I will admit that I did not think of it.)

See, no Hedley, he should have changed it to Heddy, PLUS, he could have sued HER!

This was surprisingly hard (no pun intended). I went in thinking "damn, Harry, Harold... I'm gonna ace this!" but then it turns out when I try to think of H names I end up coming up with more female ones.

I got Hunter but not the other "trendy name".

To Meltha - I'm pretty sure Hank is a nickname for Henry. These quizzes are usually based off the names on birth certificates, which I'm guessing is why Hank doesn't rank higher.

Funny how in the US Harry is short for Harold, but in the UK it's a diminutive of Henry.

Meltha - I came up with Hank too, but it wasn't until the answers came up I remembered it was a nickname for Henry.

Interesting how so many of the century's classic H names completely fell off the radar in the 70s and 80s.
