Have been wrestling with a name to go with Harrison for twin 2! We are down to five which is major progress. Vote please! Feel free to comment with why or if you have other suggestions. One syllable last name

I like Spencer the best with Harrison. I don't really like the same sound ending on both names, if that makes sense

Benjamin is my favorite, but I don't like it with Harrison. I voted for Spencer.

DH feels like spencer is a smug name or something - he just has slightly negative connotations he associates with it. Anyone else feel this way?

I love Davis!

I like Benjamin and Spencer. I think Spencer sounds best Harrison

DS is Bennett so that name is obviously my favorite! I honestly like all the names on your list, Griffin bring my least favorite.

If I met a set of twins named Benjamin and Harrison, I'd probably laugh because of the president Benjamin Harrison. I'd pick a different pair.

Benjamin is my favorite, but definitely not with Harrison.

Spencer does sound kind of stuck up & preppy to me. Davis just seems like a last name to me, but David is nice. I would go with Harrison and Benjamin. I don't care for Bennett. Griffin would be my second choice, but I think there are better names to go with Harrison. Ideas: Charles, Nathaniel, Gabriel, or Joshua?

Don't want to do Charles because my daughters name is Charlotte. Don't want to use either of our fathers names which would gave been nice choices ( William, Michael). Then Henry is out because it's too matchy ... So I am feeling stuck! Others I gave thought about are Thomas, jack (but maybe not ideal with one syllable last name), ?

I love Spencer!!

Don't do Benjamin with Harrison, nn would be Ben and Harry (Ben and Jerry's) unless you like that.

I like Davis but I wouldn't use it with Harrison because it seems too themey with two last names. So I voted Benjamin.

I love Thomas, too. Great choice and such a classic.

Of your other choice, I would pick Spencer. I think it matches the tone and style of Harrison but isn't too matchy. Spencer is a solid name, and (not being snarky) not snobbier than Harrison. They both have a bit of a preppy feel to them, but not in a bad way, IMO.

I thought of the president as well.

I don't love the name Spencer, but I think the "S" sounds go best with Harrison.

Consider the Swedish name Henrik. (Can still go by Henry)

I think Spencer works the best.  All the Spencer's I've known have been awkward junior high boys (I'm a junior high teacher), so I don't get the snobby vibe from it at all.

Exactly.

Of your other choices ... I guess Spencer? I'm not wild about two surnames as first names but that seems to be what you've got going on.

Ooh, Thomas is a great choice! It even means "twin."

I am sorry but not a fan of Harrison unless it is a family name....it ends up being "Harry" kids are so mean. I vote Bennett!
