Do the Harrison's you know get called Harry?

[TedsaidFred]

Just that really. Expecting DS2 and only name DH is really keen on is Harrison but not Harry so much, which I'm telling him is inevitable. Wondering if you know any Harrison's especially older than 5 years and whether they still get the full name?
Thanks!

Definitely the Harrison I know is a 'Harry'

I know some Harrison’s who go by Harry and some who go by Harrison. If Harry is a dealbreaker for your DH then I’d avoid the name entirely. Harry is an obvious diminutive, and even though some Harrison’s might not use Harry, there’s no guarantee that your son will be one of them. He’ll grow up and have his own opinions on which diminutives he does and doesn’t like.

1 does
1 doesn't
1 get Haribo

I only know one and he is always Harrison.

Oh, he is early twenties.

I know one, he is a year old and is only ever Harrison.

No, I know 3 and they are all known as Harrison. They are 7 or younger - it may change as they get older.

I know of 2. One is Harry, one is Harribo, which is a horrible nickname!!

Harry or Harribo. Both are better than Harrison in my opinion though

Yes.

Both Harry and haribo here too!

All the Harrisons I know we're all called Harry x

My 26 year old stepson is called Harrison All the family call him Harry & always have done. His friends use either Harry or Hazza.

Whatever you call your child, you don't get to control their knickname.

I know a middleaged Andrew who has been universally known as Teddy since he was 6yo because teacher put his drawing (of a bear) on the wall with his name under it. Sometimes these things stick, sometimes they don't, but you only have control over what you call him. Even then, you might find he asks you to call him something else at some point.

I know quite a lot of Harrisons. Some use the full name, some are Harry and two are H.

Hazza Mo Bazza, no idea why.

Harris is a fairly popular name where I am in Scotland.

The only one I know is referred to as Harry.

I know 3, 2 get called Harry and the other Sonny, which is dreadful imo and his mum hates but he likes. I think it’s most likely he’ll be called Harry.

I know one in his 30s who is called either harry or harrison. He didn't seem to mind either way!

No. Adult accountant. Always Harrison.

I know a Harrison (8 years old) and only called his full name

Mostly Harrison, a couple of Harrys, a Haribo and a Sonny!

Thanks all for the feedback!

I have a Harrison everyone calls him H
