Some of you may have seen my posts before. We're having a boy and we're really, really struggling with names. We have finally found a name we both like, Harrison, but it comes with its own problem...
My husband is called Gary. I've taught a few Harrisons and all but one have only been referred to as Harrison but one had been nicknamed Harri.
We would use his full name and so would family but I'm aware at school it may get shortened. We're worried it'll just sound ridiculous potentially having a Gary and Harri. Is it likely to be shortened to Harri or do you think we could preempt it by introducing an alternative nickname or just reminding people to use his full name? If it does become Harri will that be a problem? It's so frustrating as it's the only name we agree on so I'm finding it hard to just let go that easily.
