Is Harrison (Prob Harry) just too popular? Plus doesn't really go with DD (Iona)...

If it's a name you really like then does it matter all that much if it's popular at the moment? I don't think it does.

I like Harrison with Harry for short.

I went to school where there were twins with this as their sirname, so for me it doesn't feel like a first name tbh. Its up to you though. And even though Harry is popular, I love it.

I really like it. Harry is higher up the popularity stakes than Harrison. Think it goes ok with Iona -both 3 syllables, both nice names.

bit common

I like it, especially nicknamed Harry. It is very common but then so is Matthew and Jack, all of those are great names that won't age.

SilveryMoon · 22/01/2010 19:36

I like it.

I only know one Harrison (and he is gorgeous btw).

He is known as Harris (rather than Harry).

I know of loads of Harrisons, it's starting to become a bit common IMO. Henry is the 'proper' name that gets NN to Harry, which I think it's lovely

No. Indiana Jones action man name.

Why do people worry about sibblings names matching? it is already difficult enough finding a name, as it is.

BTW I don't like Harrison, but that is my problem, you aree the mother and have a right (within reason) to call him as you wish.

Love Harry, less fond of Harrison but don't call him Harris! Or at least never let him venture within the sound of Bow Bells.

I think Harrison is the best boys name ever! I am however just a teeny weeny bit biased
