Do the Harrison's you know get called Harry?

Just that really. Expecting DS2 and only name DH is really keen on is Harrison but not Harry so much, which I'm telling him is inevitable. Wondering if you know any Harrison's especially older than 5 years and whether they still get the full name?
Thanks!

I know some Harrison’s who go by Harry and some who go by Harrison. If Harry is a dealbreaker for your DH then I’d avoid the name entirely. Harry is an obvious diminutive, and even though some Harrison’s might not use Harry, there’s no guarantee that your son will be one of them. He’ll grow up and have his own opinions on which diminutives he does and doesn’t like.

Definitely the Harrison I know is a 'Harry'
