Harris?

[Curiousmary]

What do you all think?

Lovely.

I love it. But then I am biased as it is a family surname which is very important to me. My friend used it as her ds' first name as it has cultural links for her as a first name (but spelt with one r). I used Harry as a middle name for ds and wish I had gone for Harris.

OK if no one's a cockney or you don't mind him being named after a bum e.g.
'Move your Harris' translates 'Move your arse.'

Rolf Harris?

No, dislike sorry

Lovely name, especially if you have Scottish connections. It is becoming very popular though.

No, dislike sorry

Love it. Know a 3yo Harris.

DD would have been Harris had she been DS. As it is she's named after another Scottish island. The Western Isles are beautiful and amongst my favourite places to be in the world

Awful. It's a surname.

Like it!

No

a) It's surname
b) Where I am, it's slang for 'arse' (possibly Cockney-rhyming)

... also Rolf Harris...

Prefer Harry

It means arse where I am from (London).

No... people will mishear and think you said Harry then you'll be constantly correcting them!

All the Haris/Harrises I have known have been Muslim (or at least from Turkish or other traditionally Muslim backgrounds). I've known it spelt both ways.

Also immediately thought bum

I like it but I've never heard the arse reference. 'Harrison' seems to be so common these days so that would put me off

For a boy or girl? I'm afraid I think Rolf Harris or arse too.

I've only known it's a surname (in Scotland). I associate it with tweed, or the isle of.

I love it. In Scotland no one would bat an eyelid and it’s not even faintly “out there” although not common at all.

I prefer Harrison

Well I'm biased as I have one (live in northern England). It gets lots of lovely comments and we've never come across another :) not yet had any Harrison/Harry/arse confusion but it's easily corrected.

I love it. It will be DC2's name (due in a few weeks) if we have a boy. We're Scottish so I don't know if that makes a difference.

Those of you making a connection with Rolf Harris are being ridiculous imo.
