Torn between 3 names (boy)

Boonhilde · April 2016

Please vote and give reasons if you feel so inclined. We had pretty much decided on Harrison when I realized people might call him Harry Smile since our last name sounds like Smile. (Even though Harry isn't short for Harrison!) So please also let me know what you think about that. I need outsiders' opinions!!!! Thank you!!!

Logan

Harrison

Nathan/Nate

My vote for Nathan. All are perfectly fine names, Nathan just feels like the least trendy of the three.

nurse714 · April 2016

All are ok but I like Nathan the best.

doodleoodle · April 2016

Another vote for Nathan. It's the strongest name IMO.

BabyBoyH92016 · April 2016

All are good, but i personally dislike the nick name Harry so I can see your hesitation. I like Nathan and Logan equally.

bbiutmcph · April 2016

I know two Harrison's that go by Harry

Love Nathan/Nate

Nathan was my 2nd choice for boy names so it definitely gets my vote. Logan is too trendy to me. I like Harrison but not as much as Nathan.

Nathan means "gift from God". I would have used it but someone in our family already did. Love Nate!

Nathan

What is Harry Smile? I don't get it. I like the name Harry more than Harrison. I also like Logan more than Nathan.

Nathan

I've never been a fan of Nathan. No reason, just NMS. Love Harrison and think the NN Harry is cute. We might use it so I'm a bit biased.

Nathan

I like Harrison the best of the 3. I like Harry better though. It think Harry is a great name!

WildWhat · April 2016

Why isn't Harry a nickname for Harrison?

kmvisioli · April 2016

I'm with PJpeppercorn. Never liked Nathan, but no real reason. I like Harrison! I think you can choose to avoid using a nn if you want to, although I also see nothing wrong with Harry Smile. Logan feels trendy.

ashleyandely · April 2016

I like them all. Harrison is my favorite then Nathan. Last is Logan only because it's so popular. Like, I have two cousins under the age of 3 named Logan. (On the same side!)

PhoebeJune1984 · April 2016

I like Harrison out of the three. I know three Harrison's...and none of them go by Harry. One occasionally gets called Harris by his parents, but that is pretty rare that it actually happens.

peps815 · April 2016

I like Logan, but they are all nice names. If you don't like Harry don't go with Harrison because it is a nickname.

PJpeppercorn · April 2016

I think Harry Smile is cute! But I get it-- we didn't name our daughter Elizabeth because I didn't like the NN Liz. I didn't want to have to say, "no, it's Elizabeth!!" for years. Lol.

ErbGarden · April 2016

Personally I like Logan and don't see it as super trendy. I know one baby name Harrison. His parents insist on no nicknames but I have a feeling it will still get shortened by classmates/teammates as he grows up. I like the suggestion of Harris.

So many of my siblings will correct people if they try to give their kids nicknames. I promised myself I never would.

Harry is short for Henry. Harrison means "Harry's son."

It's not a stretch at all that Harrison could get shortened to Harry and what if your son prefers it as a nn?

PJpeppercorn · April 2016

I know two adult Harrison's and both were/are called Harry sometimes. I'm not sure if they wanted the NN or not but I think it's somewhat natural the Harrison would/could be shortened to Harry. I prefer it a ton to Harris.
