[Opinions] WDYTO Harrison?
I've really been liking this name lately. So, was wondering what you all think of it? Like or dislike it? First impressions? Know any? Is it too trendy?Thanks!

Would it be for George Harrison, the Beatle? Or William Henry Harrison or Benjamin Harrison, the U.S. Presidents? If not I would not name him Harrison. I could understand if it was honoring someone but if it's for no reason then it does come across as trendy. There is a trend towards president names as first names (but mostly for girls, like Madison and Reagan).

Very, very popular where I live. I think the first three babies (all boys) born in 2000 (even though it's 2005 now) were called Harrison and it's still cropping up, I think again the first few baby born this year was also a Harrison.Never mind Jack being number one, this part of England I should think Harrison wins hands down.

Why not Henry or Harry?Why use a surname as first name? Yes, I find this trendy and boring. It is also very American. I would not dream of naming a son Anderson or Ericson.The first I think of is Harrison Ford.

I don't mind Harrison - it's one of only a few -son names I can tolerate, and it easily lends itself to the nickname Harry._____________________________________________________________________He looks like he's had a lot of plastic surgery done, but not by a plastic surgeon." - The "Have I Got News For You" panel on David Gest ;-)Elinor! and !: Dallán and Aubrianna

I think of Harrison Ford (which I'm not a fan of). It sounds to much like a surname to me, It's nms, sorry :(It's a GIRL! Our Princess is due July 27, 2005!

I like it. It's very masculine, and it has a classic, yet modern feel to it.

I like it a lot, it's a very handsome name!
I know one Harrison who is 17 or 18. He goes by Harry.

I love it & plan on using it (along with Kiefer). However, it is slightly trendy in that it is a surname but that doesn't bother me and I've never met a Harrison or heard of one beside Mr. Ford.
