... also Rolf Harris...

NotAgainYoda · 17/12/2017 17:46

No

a) It's surname
b) Where I am, it's slang for 'arse' (possibly Cockney-rhyming)

Like it!

Awful. It's a surname.

DD would have been Harris had she been DS. As it is she's named after another Scottish island. The Western Isles are beautiful and amongst my favourite places to be in the world

Love it. Know a 3yo Harris.

Madbengalmum · 17/12/2017 17:07

No, dislike sorry

Lovely name, especially if you have Scottish connections. It is becoming very popular though.

Rolf Harris?

angstinabaggyjumper · 17/12/2017 16:54

OK if no one's a cockney or you don't mind him being named after a bum e.g.
'Move your Harris' translates 'Move your arse.'

I love it. But then I am biased as it is a family surname which is very important to me. My friend used it as her ds' first name as it has cultural links for her as a first name (but spelt with one r). I used Harry as a middle name for ds and wish I had gone for Harris.

Lovely.
