But thats what Prof whooshed him for, Prof may have intended to put Henry to show that he cares so little about his departure that he can't even remember Harry Worley's name.

I was aware of that Ted. But Buzz wasnt. Prof may also have been hiding the fact he got his name wrong. :icon_lol:

Actually, I was trying to be a pompous git. Although it has become it's own name in recent years Harry was originally just the slang shortening way of saying Henry, a bit like Ned for Edward, or Jimmy for James. Henry just sounded posher.

Obviously it was too subtle, sorry. :icon_redf

Isn't Ned short for Neil? My Uncle is called Neil and we call him Ned.

You should have googled it.

"John is a name with history stretching back far into Biblical times. However, during medieval times, the name John was altered slightly in the Germanic tongues to Jankin or Jackin. Out of that, we get the nickname Jack. "

Harry was the Medieval English form of the Germanic name, Heimiric or Henry.

No.
Definitely Edward

I know two people called Howard. One goes by the name Oscar, the other Fred. I think, rather than being medieval alternatives, it's just because Howard is a crap name.
