Harris too posh?

[Whiskersjim]

My friends think the name Harris is posh. What do you all think?

Erm. I don't think it is posh at all. Sorry.

No, not posh. The new Harvey I think.

It's certainly not posh!

But in any case, it's not a first name. It's a surname, a place name, a brand name (tweed), it's Rolf Harris. It sounds rough. Hate it.

It's a slang term for 'arse' where I come from.

And rhyming slang too...

:) cross post

Yes, forgot to add 'arse'!

Actually is dog in eastenders called Harris??

Absolutely not 'posh' in the slightest.

I don't think it is a posh name, but it is also not rhyming slang for arse (that would be 'aris': Aristotle - bottle/ and glass - arse).

I think the Easties dog was called Wellard.

I like the name. I'd be put off using it for a while though because of the recent allegations against a famous man with the same name, as that's who i immediately think of.

That's just me though.

Not posh.. Quite the opposite.

Sorry but I'd say Harris is more chav than posh.

Round here it would be pronounced 'Arris.

The opposite of posh.

I think it is a lovely name. Very middle class IME.

It's a surname or a Scottish island.
Is your surname Tweed?

I would not be in the slightest bit concerned that it's posh as it certainly isn't

So if yiu like the name - with it's non-posh connotations - then go for it

Arris?
as in "shove it up yer arris?'
please don't

I think it must depend where you live!
It's like Lewis, or Iona - resolutely mc I would have said.

As in Harrison? One of the most common names in recent times?

I love the name, if DC2 had been a boy that would have been his name. It's great. It is rising up the popularity charts quickly though in Scotland (because it's a fab name!) I know of three born this year though but that wouldn't have put me off - its lovely.

Hahaha, are they taking the piss? It's quite the opposite.
