Just a pondering,

Each time I read a English situated (not author, just the setting) book,
the name of one of the characters ends up being Harry. Is the name Harry
a significant one in English society--I know the royals named their son
Harry, but some of these books date to before that time, so it makes me
wonder what's up with this?

Henry, yes, that makes sense, all the King Henry's!
