Harry or James?

[Redblackcar2]

Harry is dh choice James is mine . Both popular I know but I do think there are more little Harry's . Which do you prefer?

Both nice names, but popular. Which goes best with your surname? Personally I prefer James to Harry.

I think they fall into the same 'category' of names so I agree ^ go with what sounds best with your surname/middle name.

Edited to add: if you are likely to spend time in the US go with James or Harry = Hairy.

James is much nicer, and I imagine less popular for a baby.

Harry has become popular.

I like it though.

I prefer James.

Have both - we did .

I prefer Harry but it is SO popular these days.

I like James. I think of Harry as more of a nickname.

Another vote for James. It's used all the time as a middle name but you don't hear it so much as a first name. It's a good solid classic name.

Harry is OK but I'd only use it as a nickname for Henry or Harrison.

I vote James, it would be my choice if my DH didn't have it as his name already!!

Both good but I'd go with James if it sits well with your surname.

James, definitely.

I really dislike the name Harry and have NO idea why it is so popular.

James.

I prefer Henry to Harry

Definitely Harry this is mine and my DH top name but unfortunately already been used by a friend recently :-(

James (my DS middle name).

James.
It's just nicer.

I adore James & I have one!

James, less popular than Harry

I like James more than Harry.

Also prefer Henry to Harry.

James is the new Harry!

I love James and would have considered it for DS but we already have one in the family. Nothing wrong with Harry but James is much better.

Funnily enough those two names were our final 2. We went with James and I love it- it's such a strong name.
I didn't realise how high up it is on the popularity lists but I hear far more Harry's than James'.

James

I love James
