ParticipantPeople do that all the time. Name their children after their parents. It is a very normal thing to do. Sort of as a way of honoring their memory. In my family it is middle names. My sister, aunt, and cousin all have the same middle name and my grandmother and my cousin have the same middle name. My mother’s name is her parents names like put together.

ParticipantPlus, Regina loved her father dearly. She may have killed him, but he was “the thing she love most”.

ParticipantI do not think REGINA loved anyone… including her father…. but her father was who served her best and who would be most missed by her.
Not real love but probably the best she had.

I agree.

Surely there must have been some actual love there though, or the curse wouldn’t have worked. She had to at least love him more than she’d loved her horse.
I thought it was fitting she’d named Henry after her father, if not a bit twisted. Yes, it’s an honour to name your child after a parent, (or another family member), but that name also means that lil Henry is a constant reminder of her most despicable deed. Between that and the fact she keeps the box that daddy’s heart was in on her desk, maybe it’s her way of punishing herself for what she did.
Or maybe her having a Henry to look after in this world is somehow a way of trying to make up for what she did to her father. She needs to do it to ease her conscience somewhat, (generally speaking I don’t believe Regina has a conscience, but what happened with PapaMills is the exception to prove the rule). In her mind, perhaps giving her son Henry the best in life somehow makes up for taking her father Henry’s life.

ParticipantYou know, I still somehow feel like Henry is Henry Sr. reincarnation … Like he’s the lemur, the angry spirit that came back and now goes up against his killer … That was my first thought when I saw that Regina’s father was also called Henry, anyway.
Maybe I should put this in the “I call it thread”. 😆March 25, 2012 at 12:43 pm #139717hjbau
ParticipantWhat would it mean for the show if kid Henry was older Henry reincarnated? What would that mean for the show? Is he going to start talking in a creepy voice? I mean how would they show that and for what reason would they do that.

ParticipantNo clue. I seriously doubt the idea will come true. Just a weird thought I had.
It’s just that killing Henry Sr. created a “void that could never be filled”. It would be fitting somehow, if it couldn’t even be filled by Henry Sr. himself, as little Henry. If that makes sense somehow.
Anyway, I’m quite sure Regina only named little Henry after her father “und Punkt” (and basta? and that’s it? No clue how to translate the expression, sorry …).March 25, 2012 at 1:58 pm #139719hjbau
ParticipantI think we say period if that means what i think it means. Like “I’m quite sure Regina only named little Henry after her father period.” Like end sentence. End thought. Like the dot at the end of a sentence is called a period.
