I love both names. I love Harrison and nn Harry though the popularity does put me off. I love Hamish for no reason other than I just do. So far though i've had rolled eyes when mentioned. rMiddle name will be Edward.
Oops posted too soon. Siblings are Carrie and Archie.

Definitely Hamish. By a long way actually.
Harrison is the kind of name that soap stars give their kids. Apologies if you're a soap star 
Hamish! Love it, suggested it for DS, but DP thought I was joking 
he wanted to call him Rex, so was in no bloody position to be laughing at Hamish.

I have a Hamish, therefore biased. It is easy to pronounce and spell, if that help. I think it goes well with Archie. It is easy to find books with characters called Hamish in them, but with a slight tendency for it to be a comedy name. It's not impossible to shorten but nothing obvious, if you prefer children to have the name you gave them.

Another vote for Hamish! It's a great name. Not fond of Harrison either.
Yay so I'm not odd for liking Hamish! I do love Harrison but would only go for that as I love Harry. Popularity of it does not really bother me ish it's how it sounds with other dc names that puts me off. I think Hamish goes well with both dc names and as middle name will be Edward we are already calling bump 'little Ted' no obvious terrible nn for Hamish. Then I wake up and think I love Harry will I regret not using it arraghh!!!

DS2 has a friend called Hamish who is a sweetie, and I love the name.
I know a Harris, which I like much more than Harrison.

I love Hamish. I love my very own Hamish and am therefore biased somewhat. And it goes wonderfully with Archie.
