I wouldn't pick it but I don't mind it. I know a nice 10 year old one, so it's been 'in' for at least that long. It sounds better with a short surname.

Suzieismyname · 10/05/2013 04:33

It's a surname. What's wrong with Henry?

3boysgirlontheway · 10/05/2013 04:27

I am in Australia and every second boy is called Harrison, it's very very popular here. I am a bit meh about it. It's very middle of the road.

MissTweed · 10/05/2013 04:08

Honestly...... I think it sounds really chavy. (But my taste in names is considered to pretentious and we all can't be the same)

zingally · 09/05/2013 20:30

It's not a name I'd choose, but it's quite nice.

justhayley · 06/05/2013 20:57

I think it sounds lovely, I would use it

OrangeFootedScrubfowl · 06/05/2013 19:14

Bit too 'of the moment' for me. I think it will date.

So you arse is your 'arris.

Bearcrumble · 06/05/2013 19:14

Aristotle - bottle - bottle and glass - arse. It's cockney rhyming slang (and cockneys don't pronounce their aitches).

I like it.

Cool name

Ripley13 · 05/05/2013 21:21

Interesting. :) I only put my post on a couple of days ago, and we have settled for Harrison James. I love it! :) Have my C-Section booked for Tuesday

Umlauf · 05/05/2013 20:30

I like it, considering it as a middle name, although it is a family surname for us. As a first name the child would almost certainly only ever be called Harry.

Gingerbreadlatte · 05/05/2013 20:20

Awful.

Noseynoonoo · 05/05/2013 20:03

There are a few where I live and I always think of it being a surname. I don't understand why you'd use a surname as a Christian name, so for that reason I don't like it.

I do like Harry though, although it is somewhat ubiquitous now.
