Daughter is Aurora. We’re expecting a baby boy soon, does the name Harris go?

I think it’s a lovely name!

I absolutely love the name Harris! Think it sounds great with your daughters name too op.

Reddelilah · 11/05/2025 09:24

It sounds like a surname

Emanwenym · 11/05/2025 10:04

Is your surname Tweed?
I know a Haris pronounced Harris, and the name seems OK.

Moreteaandchocolate · 11/05/2025 10:07

Yes I like it and think it goes well.

That's a smashing name, and goes lovely with his sister's.

This is what both my mum and dad said separately to me when I told them about my new boyfriend whose name was Harris (nearly 30 years ago!)

It didn’t mean anything to me because why would a 16 year old know about Harris Tweed but he had heard it all before.

Reminds me of Rolf Confused

I like it

Gmum27 · 11/05/2025 16:42

Yes I’ve never heard of Harris tweed but not a bad thing to have the same name. I did think of rolf Harris but you could link a lot of names to awful things I suppose!

Also means ‘protector’ or ‘guardian’ in Arabic. I love the name.

Jack1975 · 11/05/2025 17:04

my son is named Harris ❤️

PluckyBamboo · 11/05/2025 17:08

I know a couple of them, both older teenagers.

Lovely name especially if you have Scottish roots.

Harris is a very popular boy's name in Scotland - it's also a Hebridean island where Harris tweed is made.

I know several under the age of five.

BethDuttonYeHaw · 11/05/2025 17:13

Good traditional Scottish name.
