Harrison

[Mooncake2020]

Hiya, how many kids do you know named Harrison? And where are you located?

Thank you x

My son, and one other in his school, Essex.

I was convinced he'd be a Harry, we've never shortened it, no one outside our family have ever shortened it either.

It's pretty ubiquitous where I am (South of England). I think it's a nice name in itself, just a bit dull.

Lots round here. I'm in the SW.

I love the name Harrison but I know a few people who don't. There's a Harris in our family

Don’t know any Harrisons at school or nursery or baby group
Looking at the statistics it’s much less used than it used to be in 2015 so if people say they know a few it’s probably because they were born in 2015 time, there’s less now

Thanks everyone xx

You're inspiring me to add Harrison to my list!! I wonder if you can get people to call him Harris as a nickname versus Harry. I think it's so handsome! What will the middle name be?

I know of 6/7 oldest being 13, youngest is 3.

I agree @Rachelhaydenberk1 - it’s such a cool name. If you prefer Harris rather than Harry you can let his school and preschool know. They’re really good these days with trying to encourage a particular nickname - they never did this in my day

Ughmaybenot that is weird!!

I have a 8 year old Harrison , I still absolutely love his name. And He's the only one in his school (I work there).

His friends nick name him harribo which he loves .

@meandmyboyz Haribo is adorable! Xx

OP hope you got my inbox sorry I’m not very technical so not sure if I posted it or not

Harribo is cool!

2, 1 in Kent and 1 in Essex

Very popular name in my area, loads at school.

@Whatsyourflava Only just seen it sorry! Messaged you back, that's fab!

I know one known as Harry; South East.

Haribo reminds me of Harrybo from the Michael Rosen poems . Apparently Harrison was the surname of this friend though.

I like Harry. Harry is a nice name.

I know about four or five, all primary school age or younger. I’m in the north west, upper working/lower middle class.

One twenty something. West Sussex of course

Was going to choose this for DD if a boy, but was v popular at the time, that was 6/7 years ago

i cannot see the attraction for using a surname as a first name.
to me it sounds impersonal.
might as well call them higginbottom, or shufflewick. why not.

I know 2 Harrisons. In West Midlands.

Would you say the same for names like James or Thomas, which are more more commonly used surnames, alexdgr8? It started off as ‘son of Harry’, so its origins were in a first names,kjust like Jackson or Robinson.
