Would this stop you using the name?

[Littlebab]

Due in a few weeks and can't decide about a name I like due to a comment a friend made ages ago when discussing favourite names...

So I love Harry but our surname is the same as the actress Halle.... Would this stop you using the name?

Probably....its a bit of a tongue twister.

Yes. It really doesn't flow well at all.

What about Hugo?
Harry Berry is a real tongue twister!
Also, Harry's are a dime a dozen if that's of interest to you.

Deep down I know it doesn't work just love the name Harry so needed to hear it from others haha! Was thinking maybe Harrison as an alternative or is that too much? I also like Henry but DH not keen and think that is also really popular.

I have a millions girls names but none for boys!

I wouldn’t use it though it’s a nice name.
I like Henry and it works better with your surname.
Or Freddy?

I wouldn’t use it, it’s a tongue twister. Too many r’s.

I wouldn't use it, no. Henry?

I like Harrison and think it works fine

Maybe something with a crisper sound to contrast with the soft surname?
Jed?
Nathan (Nate)?
Sebastian (Seb)
Samuel (Sam)
Jacob

Harvey or Harold?

I think harry berry sounds cool AF
Or do you mean Harry Halle?

Harrison works!

If you call him Harrison he end up being called Harry. Harry is lovely but not with your surname.

Same as Mary Berry really. Wouldn’t bother me.

I don't think it works, sorry, and Harrison would get shortened to Harry anyway.

Jacob Berry
Nathaniel Berry
Samuel Berry

I think Harry Berry sounds lovely!

I like Harry Berry. Like someone upthread said it's similar to say as Mary Berry and that's fine to say. It's not too often the full name gets said anyway.

Harris?

Unfortunately I don't think it sounds good. I love Harry too, but I think the way the names sound together is a really important aspect of your decision.

I like Harry Berry. Like someone upthread said it's similar to say as Mary Berry and that's fine to say.

The problem is that it sounds too much like Halle Berry, in my opinion. That's not an issue with Mary Berry.

Harrison is a good option, as it would most likely be shortened to Harry but when saying his full name it would flow

I think it works really really well. Go for it

I think you should go with Harry if you like it. Harry Berry sounds perfectly fine to me.

In the playground he would be hairy berries...

Bit different from Merry (Mary) Berry

Sorry OP, it’s a no from me. We also had to compromise as our name ends with N so could give DS a name ending in N as it didn’t scan right.

I think that Harry's a great name but agree with those that have said Harry Berry is a bit of a tongue twister. I wonder if kids at school would end up nicknaming him Haribo. I think that the similarity to Halle Berry is neither here nor there.
