How many Harrison’s do you know?

[Samthenanny]

We’re having a boy and the only name we can semi agree on is Harrison or Harry.
so how many Harrison’s do you know? Is it massively popular.

I’ve worked with a lot of children so a lot of names I associate with children so are automatically off the list. I also don’t like biblical names.

I really like Rafferty but DH not so much, he likes Alexander me so not much 🤣

last name will also start with a H

2 and both under 6.

7
2 age 16
3 age 14
1 age 7
1 age 4
only one is called Harry

There's 3 in my sons preschool class.

1. One is 7. The other 24

None with an apostrophe. Very unusual spelling - that should easily set him apart from all the others.

1. 1 is a baby and the other is 5. It's a lovely name.

1. All primary aged children.

2 are shortened to Harry, 1 to Harris.

Harrison Ford, obvs. In addition, two children have that first name in my primary school (one reception, one Y4), plus it's a surname within my extended family.

3 + the celeb. It was on our name list but had a DD.

@Sistanotcista i asked a question of how many were known hence the apostrophe in the title name! obviously his name would be Harrison and not Harrison’s

2

One is in his twenties and one is 17.

That poster is being snarky because the apostrophe isn’t for plurals. I made the same grammatical error (my phone’s autocorrect function does it automatically and I didn’t notice it to correct it).

As a surname I've lost count, as a first name none, as a middle name one.

I know one Harrison. I don’t like it to be honest, it’s a surname. Harry short for Henry is much better.

Apostrophes are seriously overused and abused on this board

Anyway, I know 1 x Harrison IRL. Plus the Star Wars one

@LynneBenfield

i always find there’s a couple of snarky comments tbh

Neither of us are into Star Wars so never knew about the Star Wars connection but that doesn’t bother me, same with the royal connection I just had to Google. I knew he was Archie but didn’t know he was a Archie Harrison.

Quite a few in my kids primary school, it must have been in the top 50 for about 15 years or so.

I only know one, a lovely boy of about 9 or 10. I feel like it's a name that's dipped in popularity a bit. I like it!

Is your last name also a name that could be used as a first name? I used to know someone with a Harrison whose surname was also interchangeable (think along the lines of Oliver being a first name and also a surname). Her son’s name was often read the wrong way round, so Oliver Harrison instead of Harrison Oliver, and she found that extremely annoying. He was a baby at the time so I doubt he noticed! Just thought I’d mention this though. Nice name and it suited him well.

None. Based in South London with a one year old one.

I know three Harrisons in their early twenties. They’ve all gone by “Harry” for years.

My Ds middle name is Harrison (Age 7)
I don't Know of any others.
Harri ( Welsh spelling) is a popupar name though- I know 8.

2 Harrison's.

6 Harry's.

All of them are over 10yo though.

One-he’s 15/16 and never goes by Harry,always Harrison
its a nice enough name-his siblings are Connor and Daniel
