Need help between 2 boy names

LabPupLuv · July 2015

My husband and I are torn between two names: Harrison and Cooper. I worry Cooper might be too informal for later in life and that Harrison might be a mouthful and shortened to Harry, which we don't like. We do like "Coop" as a nickname. I am leaning toward Harrison and my H toward Cooper but we both would be happy with either. His sibling is named Landon if that helps. Any thoughts?

Harrison! I agree it will grow with him better and Cooper is also a bit trendy for my taste.

Cooper

Harrison. Cooper is very trendy. I like the nn Harris for Harrison as I don't like Harry either.

Hate Cooper! Harrison over cooper anyday

I saw Copper is listed in the top 40 of baby boy names in the US by the SSA. I don't know of any Coopers though but I do want to stay away from names that are too trendy.

I like Harrison much better. I know 3 Harrisons IRL and none are shortened to Harry.

Harrison > Cooper

Harrison. I know two little boys with this name, and one goes by Harrison 100% of the time. The other one is occasionally called Harris by his parents. Neither use Harry.

I prefer Cooper but Harrison is okay

LNic5 · July 2015

I like Cooper better with Landon

mrsE2015 · July 2015

I love both! What about Harrison Cooper or Cooper Harrison?

Cooper has always reminded me of a dog name. Harrison is very nice. However, I also would bet it will get shortened to Harry at some point, by some people.

LOVE Cooper! And Coop as a nickname is great!

Landon and Harrison is a mouthful, but Landon and Cooper or Landon and Coop flows nice

Which sounds better with your last name?

Harrison

NayMD · July 2015

Landon and Harrison is a mouthful, but I think that's less important than the feel of the name overall. With that, I vote for Harrison.

mb0112 · July 2015

Harrison is better. But like PP, I don't like "Landon and Harrison" because they both end in -on. But that's more of an annoyance during childhood, it's not like he will always be joined at the hip with the brother. Better than being Cooper as an adult.

I like cooper so much more and dislike the nickname Harry.
