What do people think? I really like it but I am not 100% sure!

Sorry, much as I love(d) Harrison Ford, it is a surname.
I like it - it was on my list for DS2 but DH vetoed

Sorry but of all the Harry's/Harrisons I've looked after known - they've all been little buggers darlings
I love it. Harrison was on my shortlist from about the age of 14, but unfort I got a dog before I had kids.....

I don't like surnames as first names. Chavvy.

harrison ford was not common 
DS1 is Harrison on his birth certificate but he's just plain old Harry in everyday life.
And no, Chalieandlolasmum, he is not a little bugger. And he not even a little bit chavvy.

Thank you LyraSilvertongue - I was starting to think everyone would hate the name!
i love it, and i've worked with a lot of wotsits called harry, but still love the name, and its not chavvy, and its not common, well actually there are lots of harrys but not so many harrisons

I have a Harrison and he by no means chavvy 
but he can be a little bugger at times!
But like Lyra, mine is plain old Harry in every day life!
dh would love to use this for our next dc. he's a huge star-wars and indiana jones fan (come to think of it, Indiana is another name he's angling for)

Actually, Harrison is no. 31 on the popular names list, so it is more popular than people think! (I was surprised to find that out!)
Check here
Harrison has been in the top 50 names for the last 5 or 6 years.

LOL at totalmisfit - We're expecting a DD shortly, and I love the name India, but i thought people might think I was a bit obsessed!!!

I know someone with a Harrison but he gets called Harry. I like it.

I'm not that keen on it - sounds too much like surname.

DH suggested it for DS but spoiled it by always referring to bump as "Harrison Ford Mondeo"
May go back on the list if we find out DC2 is a boy at the 20 week scan though as we really struggled for boys names with DS.

I don't like surnames as first names either but it's OK.

Not that keen at all, I'm afraid. Harry is cute, though.
