what do you think to the boys name harry.do you like it even though its extremely popular (its like the new john).i love the name harry but unsure now it is so popular.lots of people must like it thats why its so popular.

I wouldn't. It's not just about the local area, nursery class etc. Later they might be living or working elsewhere and there will be Harry in accounts, Harry who works in the canteen, Harry who supports Man U and so on.

I named ds a name that is always in the top 5 and usually top or second. I had no idea as I never looked at name lists before I had him. He has always been the only one in his year with his name despite its apparent popularity. I would choose whichever name you like and not overly worry about popularity. It will be a name you say umpteen times every day so it should be a name you love rather than one you settle for.

Go for Harrison or Henry as a first name then and nn Harry if you want. Fwiw dd is Chloe Grace very "charts" but I love it and the only one at her nursery.
