Harris?

[Curiousmary]

What do you all think?

Muslim boy's name.

Harrison is a first name. Harris is a surname.

Love Harrison!!

There are prettier island names. Isla (I know it is spelt Islay), Shuna, Ailsa ...

I have the rhyming connotation too. It's pronounced 'Aris in my dialect, so it isn't pretty.

No.

Immediately think arse home.

Arse HOLE!!! Bloody phone!

I would avoid it if your surname is Tweed.

This is funny. Harris is a perfectly ordinary first name for boys in Scotland.

Rolf.

Hideous.

Sorry op.

My nephew is called Harris, shortened to harry by his friends - Muslim boy alsoa

I'm Scottish and never met a Harris (first name). Maybe it's a regional thing?

Really @Fekko? I'm in the central belt. Wouldn't say it's massively common but I think it's a fairly popular boys name. In fact a quick google tells me it was the 13th most popular boys name in Scotland last year

I prefer Henry, Harry and Harold but Harris is still lovely. Great name imo :)!

(Harrison is also a surname imo, btw.)

No. Derrière.

Stylish

If that's what jumps out at you when you hear a name, that's what jumps out. No one is 'making' a connection.

First thought: Tweed
Second thought: Academy
Third thought: Don't know your arsehole from your elbow

Sorry

It's Aris for arse not Harris. Still too close for my liking though.

First thought - Rolf

Second thought - why give a baby a surname when so many great first names?! Harry, Henry and even Harold are so much better.

Horrible.

There are two Harris' in my DS's nursery class. Very popular here (Scotland obviously). Personally I'm not keen on surnames as first names but as they go, Harris is not bad and definitely not too 'out there'.

I'd never made the link with Rolf Harris until now, mumsnet is weird!

MikeUniformMike Harris is a boy's name so the others you suggested, lovely as they are, won't work

Aaah. I really thought it was 'Arris. Have just looked it up. You are right

One of the little brothers in Brave is called Harris;

Harris, Hamish and Hubert I think.

Maybe it's a newer thing. Do many people know adults called Harris? Maybe that's why I've never come across it.

I like it but then I love surnamey names. It's too popular here though so I wouldn't use it (East Scotland).

Never heard the arse thing in my life!

My Surname is Harris and I've always been a bit "bleurgh" about it as to me it's really common.
