Narrowing down the list

We had a girl's name all picked out, but it turns out we are having a boy! We have four names on our boy list. We want to use the middle name Henry (family name) and we like these four first names:

Zachary

Rhys

Jenson

Blake 

Any advice or opinions on these names is very welcome! Thanks!

I love Rhys and Jenson! I think Zachary Henry sounds a little repetitive.

I like Blake the best.  I am also liking Jenson but wouldn't want it shortened to Jen make me think girl Jennifier.

Ditto. I've never been a fan of Zachary, guess I heard it too much growing up. And Jenson is just a random last name.

I like both Rhys and Blake! Zachary is okay. I don't care for Jenson.

I think either Rhys Henry or Blake Henry sound nice.

I love you to the moon and back!

I like Zachary and Rhys better, but I think Rhys and Blake sound best with Henry.  So I'd go with Rhys.

Why not Henry for a first name? It's a great classic name.

I vote for Blake. Here's why... Zachary has an -ry ending, which is too reminiscent of the middle name. Jenson has two syllables, the same number as the middle name, which gives the name a staccato feel. Rhys begins with the same sound Henry ends with, again giving the name a repetitve feel. Blake is a single syllable with no sounds similar to the middle name. It'd sound especially good with a three-syllable or single syllable surname, if you happen to have one. :) 

 (I'm not a baby naming authority or anything. I've just read a lot of poetry, so I have a lot of weird ideas about what sounds good together.)

I like Jenson and Rhys. I like Jenson spelled Jensen, though.

Zachary is the only name that I like on your list.  However, I am not sure how I like it with Henry.  That said, I know that Henry is the important name to use so I will suggest Blake.

Zachary hands down gets my vote. If our last child was a boy, Zachary was a high contender.

Pretty much this. I really don't like Jenson.
