So me and my wife are due soon, and we have only just agreed on a couple of boy names!…

Our favourite being 'Harris' or 'Harrison', paired with Horne as a surname;
So full name would be Harris(son) Frederick Horne.

I prefer Harris as its sharper… but that could be the shortened version?
Also worry about the syllables, and the complete name sounding like Harrisorne / Harrison!?

Can’t decide if it’s clashing, or works? Any advice welcome... Or it’s back to the drawing board!

To me Harris is a surname and it feels a bit of a daft choice of first name.

@CallieQ , Ryan O Horne?

Randolph is ok, and could be 'Ran'

Randy Horne? 😬

Love it! 😆

Yep, the Harris Horne all sort of blends into one and ends up back at Harrison!
Harrison is ok.
Is there really nothing else you like?

Harris Horne is a non-starter, sorry.

I quite like Harrison Horne although it does sound like a character from Hilaire Belloc’s Cautionary Tales

Here is the story of Harrison Horne
Who first met his dad on the day he was born.
A precocious young lad, he left the vagina
Crying, “Dad, pleased to me you- how’s things, me old china?”

My first reaction was to laugh. Don't saddle the poor little baby with either.
