My DH wants to name our son Harrison after his grandfather (Harry & he never met the man). At first I liked the name a lot. Then my MIL started to refer to the baby as "Lil Harry." I do NOT like the name Harry at all. I think of a hairy creep. I tried to tell her that we're not shortening the name, and she basically told me that she was going to call him Harry no matter what. I could go w/ a nickname like Harris...but I just don't know. Am I being hormonal? My DH thinks this is nuts.
Re: DH vs Me
Ditto.
Ugh. I hate people. I think you'll end up having to use it as a mn or something since your MIL is going to be all biatchy about it. And Harrison is great. Harry...not.
A sidenote, I went to school with a girl named Harry! Her parents were foreign and wanted to give her an American name. Named her Harry, not realizing it is a boy's name. She was a cool girl though and I didn't see anyone bother her about it.
