How many Harrison’s do you know?

We’re having a boy and the only name we can semi agree on is Harrison or Harry.
so how many Harrison’s do you know? Is it massively popular.

I’ve worked with a lot of children so a lot of names I associate with children so are automatically off the list. I also don’t like biblical names.

I really like Rafferty but DH not so much, he likes Alexander me so not much 🤣

last name will also start with a H

1, he's mid-20s

My son is called Harrison! He is 16 and there were no other Harrisons in his primary, and there are no others in his secondary.

He has never had it shortened to Harry, and he says he really likes his name. My dad calls him H sometimes.

Thanks all.

i don’t know if we’d use Harry as a nickname that might come once he’s here I guess. We’re in London and we don’t know of any Harrison’s.
fully aware it’s not everyone’s taste but no name is 😊

I like Harry (for Henry) but not keen on Harrison.

I know 1. He’s about 18 now.

I should say that the 1 is Harrison.

I know a few Harry’s but they aren’t Harrison’s

I don't know any Harrisons but there are 4 Harrys in my dc's school and 3 in my family.

  1. He’s ten and a lovely wee boy

Including the royal one, I know about 5. Ranging from early teens to primary.

I personally don't like it. I don't mind Harry short for Henry though.

Sorry but I'm not a fan. But i do have biblical named dc so we aren't of the same taste!
