Regretting my baby name choice

[Cellardoor23]

When I choice the name for my DC i liked it because I hadn't heard anyone where I live with that name. I chose it from the baby name book. I struggled with boys names and there are very few that I like.

However since reading on mumsnet (and I don't know why it bothers me but it does) a lot of people have said it's a chav name. I never thought you could really get chav names just chavy people?

But it's made me very insecure and I'm seriously considering changing it now. Am I being stupid? It's upset me quite a bit.

we changed our daughters name wen she was 18 months ! I cdnt stand saying it any longer ! After two days she responded to it and everyone else was used to using it. I'm So glad i did it!

I don't consider Harrison to be a 'Chav' (hate that word, perpetuates negative stereotypes) name at all.

Harrison's a fine name. If you'd spelled it Harrisyn / H'arrisen or some such then that would be a different story altogether

Harrison is fine. And very cool to have Mr Ford as your namesake, even if it was unintended. He could always have Indi as a NN. I've never heard/seen it referred to as chavvy anywhere.

I don't think Harrison is too bad. I def wouldnt change it. If it bothers you the suggestion to call him Harris is a good one. But dont sweat over it!!

Harrison is fine. Our dd has a very popular name (in terms of top 10 kind of thing) and mumsnet Hates it. Ignore ignore!

Harrison is a lovely name, not at all chavvy!

Harrison is a lovely name!

My DCs names are "boring" (DS1), "classic but dull" (DS2) and "a silly little girl's name not fit for an adult" (DD) according to some posters on MN.

Personally, I consider some of the much suggested names on here to be horrendous for a child! Each to their own though.

Give me a Harrison over a Quentin anyday.
