Harrison?

[jazzcat28]

Honest opinions please.

I like it, have come across a few, not chavvy IMO,

It is not a first name (or shouldn't be). It is a surname meaning 'Harry's son'.

Why not just go for Harry? (which is nice)

Love it, I really like the nn Harry.

I really don't like it, I would hate to have it as a name if I were male. Like Jackson to me it seems to be a name that's not a name, watered down horribly by the 'son' at the end. Harry much better name.

Your alternative names...Leo is lovely and I would like Thomas if I didn't have to read blooming Thomas train books ad naseum! I like Tom.

May not be relevant, but 'Harris' is an increasingly-popular name in some places (parts of Scotland, for example).

Leo and Thomas both very nice. Harrison better as a middle name, maybe? Goes very well after both Thomas and Leo.

I used to know a Harrison I quite like it. He was a happy little fella

love it.

But DD has a name which is always panned on MN as boring, predictable and common (thank God I didn't know about MN when we chose her name!).

Love it and it's on my short list. (I'm 38weeks)
But I don't think I'll use it as it will be shortened to Harry so may as well go with Harry. It's a strong name but I suppose once they grow up they will decide how to introduce themselves!

Names!! So tricky but once they are named they 'become' their name and the worry about getting it wrong just disappears!!

I love it and it was mine and DH's first name choice for a very long time - our son is due in 6 weeks.

However, we are now planning on calling the baby, Arran and we are considering using Harrison as one of his middle names instead.

I know two Harrisons. One 8, one 18 months. Oldest is Harry, youngest isn't shortened.

I like it

I really like it. DD would have been Harris (I think it's about no.17 in popularity in Scotland).

All the boys I know called Harrison are lovely

I teach primary, and know lots of Harrisons- never ever shortened, oddly enough, as I would expect people to shorten it to Harry.

It's not my cup of tea personally, but I don't dislike it.

Sorry but I really don't like it.

Harry is fine, Harrison is a surname.

It's a surname & chavvy.

Love it. I used to work with a really nice man called Harrison. He'd be in his 60s now. Shortened to H.

Very downmarket here in Yorkshire.

Thanks for all your thoughts. Baby arrived on Tuesday and surprised us all by being a pink one!

Congrats !!! Will you share her name?

Congratulations! Do share the name!

We decided on Jessica

That's a lovely name.

Jessica is lovely congratulations OP
