Some may think Harrison is trendy. But I prefer it to Harold.

I definitely like Harrison the best. The rest are too dated. I know a little boy named Henry James nn Hank, and I really hate it. He is about six, and I have known him his whole life and I still haven't gotten used his name. I disliked it when I first heard it, and it has not grown on me at all in the past 6 years.

I like Harrison with nn Harry.

I LOVE IT!

I like Harry on its own much better than Harold, Harris, or Harrison. I love Henry the best, though, but without a nn (Harry, Hank).

Like Harris the most

I love Harrison! And Henry! And Harry as a nickname for either. Not really a fan of Harris, Harold, or Hank though.

Henry-So very handsome.
Harry-This is more of a nn to me.
Harold-I consider this to be, an old man's name. I can't see it on a baby/child.
Harrison-Very rugged and handsome.
Harris-Surname only.

I've never known a Harold called Hank

---

but a few Henry's I've known were called Hank. I don't associate Hank with Harold at all.

---

Harold is fine, it's a royal name, albeit one with an unfortunate association. It's my husband's mn, and he doesn't care for it.

---

Of all the names you listed I like Henry (nn Hank) best and Harris least. I don't find Harrison an improvement on Harris, either, despite the fact that I really like Harrison Ford, and a positive association would usually bring me around.

I don't like Harold but it could work with the nn Hal
I'd only use Harrison if it was a family surname of if the baby was Harris's son!

I like Harold and Henry.

Harrison is too surnamey for my tastes.

I've never been a fan of Harry, Henry or Hank.
