Harrison?

The only boys names that we agree on is Harrison and Archer. Its not an I love it name, but thats it. I suggested more classic names but DH loves the more "different" names, especially Harrison. WDYT? What nn are there, besides Harry? I like James so I would def use that as a middle name, Harrison James. TIA

I really like Harrison.  I think Harrison James is a great name.  Don't know about any other nicknames, but I'm ok with Harry.

Love Harrison, but wouldn't use it for the nn Harry.

When he was a Prince King Henry V was referred to as Harry and as Hal, so I don't see why u couldn't use Hal if that's more to your liking.

I really like Harrison.  And the one person I know with that name (a 60y adult) goes by Harrison (not Harry, not Harris, the full name) and always has.  I don't understand why so many people assume that you must shorten a long name.

I LOVE HARRISON! That's a great name! I actually really love the nn Harry, but I wouldn't dwell on nicknames now. You might end up calling him Peanut or Jimmy or Cutie or Moe. Who knows! Don't dwell on nicknames.

Love Harrison...I would try my best to not let anyone shorten it at all, but if they must shoo them towards Harris.

Really like Harrison James! Like the idea of Harris for a way to shorten it. I think other nicknames will come once baby Harrison arrives and as he gets older. Seems like it will just naturally work that way! Good luck!

I like Archer way better than Harrison.  Harrison is not really considered different in my region of the country.  I can think of several Harrisons that are under 2.

I love Harrison! It is on my list. The only thing that bugs me about it as that I do not think names need nicknames.... but other people do. I hate Harry and so does the husband, but are we going to have to spend our life correcting people? Will I be that pretentious sounding mom saying "Actually, it's Haaaaarrisonnnnnn". Haha. Although the suggestion of Harris is cute, I like it just Harrison. You don't have to shorten every name.

I love both Archer and Harrison!  I don't think either really need nicknames.
