DP and me stumbled across this name last night and really love it for a boy. Very early stages of pregnancy with DC2 so don't know what we're having yet.

What do you think of the name?

I quite like it. I thought of the island too. If Lewis can be a name, why not Harris!

I'm not a fan of surnames as first names but I prefer Harris to Harrison

For me it would depend on your surname - if your surname is also one which could potentially be a first name e.g. Taylor, James, Riley, Thomas etc etc then I would avoid Harris as suspect he will have a life of people getting mixed up

If however you have a name which is quite clearly a surname rather than a first name - Richardson, Jones, Mcdonald, O'Brien etc etc then it would sound ok

I love it.

It reminds me of the lovely Hebridean island. I have a feeling it might mean 'bum' in Cockney rhyming slang though.

If you like it, you've answered your own question, but to me it's a horrible name

Sorry, don't like it at all. First thought was Rolf which is not a good association.

I also don't like surnames for first names.

Meh. I don't think too much of it, but I've heard worse.
