I’ve heard worse.

They are not really my style but I do quite like Roscoe on a child whom I know ( not mine!)

“Frankly,” Franklin I have an aversion to because of that cartoon turtle who walks on unrealistically long and lanky hind legs that would mean his front legs wouldn’t reach the ground if he were to try to walk on them (like real turtles 🐢 do). Also it’s an American President’s name to me.

I can’t see why Harris is better than good old Harry or Henry but then I tend to like a good classic.

So not my choice but I can’t see any desperately compelling reason not to one of them use them if you like them.

I like Harris but not keen on the others. I wouldn’t say they’re awful though just not my taste.
Can you compromise slightly? Does your DH like Ross, Harry or Frank for example?
