Harrison

I think Harrison is a nice, strong name that ages beautifully. It reminds me of Harrison Ford.

This is my last name and I LOVEEEEE IT! Reminds me of George Harrison. Not a great first name though.

One of the only surname-as-first-names that I actually like.

This trend of first names ending in -son needs to end. Harrison is a surname.

So adorable. It also gave a wonderful impression once... When I met a sweet and charming little boy called Harrison.

Not bad. Reminds me of George Harrison.

I named my son Harrison. People never called him Harry. Harrison is a good, strong name.

Retro old-school charm. I can appreciate it.

Reminds me of hairyson.

Ew, gross...

This is my boyfriend’s name and I think it suits him well. At first I didn’t know what to think of this name since I’ve never met a Harrison before, but I’ve learned to really like it. The only problem with this name is the nickname “Harry” which I’ll never call him, lol.

I knew someone named Harrison, so I picture this name more as a first one than a last one. With that having been said, I know that this impression isn't the same for everyone.

My name is also Harrison but I did not know it was so popular because I am the only Harrison at my school!

Harrison is a surname that literally means Son of Harry. So unless you or your spouse is named Harry I recommend passing on this name. Plus Harry is not a good name... I mean it's the same as calling your child HAIRY. Seriously people, not good. I don't see the attraction at all. Go with Henry... a good strong masculine name.

It's too bad this name will be shortened to Harry by friends and peers. My sister named her son Harrison with the intention of not calling him Harry and it did not work. Adults started shortening it and at school classmates teased him by calling him Hairyson.

I love this name. I first came across it when I was watching the tv show Dexter as he names his son Harrison. I plan to name my first son this or Lucifer, or Elijah.

Harrison is SUCH a handsome, classy, HOT name! :D I will always associate this name with actor Harrison Ford. ^w^

I love this name. It's so handsome and it sounds a lot better and less surname-y than other -son names like Addison or Anderson in my opinion. I don't think this one will go to the girls, but then again who knows... Anyway, Harrison is a nice, strong, noble name for a boy that can fit any age and will stand out from the crowd of Braydens and Brodys. Harry is a cute nickname too :)

This is a nice name, not too common (which is how it should stay! Hopefully it doesn't get too common like in the UK and Australia!) and it ages well. I find it interesting how its popularity skyrocketed in 1888 and 1889. Hopefully this name doesn't fall into the dreadful trend of giving names ending in -son to girls.

This is what my name was going to be if I was a boy, because my parents liked Harrison Ford! It's a cool name.

Very handsome!

I love this name. It sounds so masculine to me. I also love Harrison Ford.

Having Harrison as my last name, it means a lot to me. It's the name that links me to my Grandpa who taught me more than I will ever know. I plan on naming at least one child Harrison. Kind of a way to kill two birds with one stone since my other Grandpa is named Harold and called Harry the nickname works.

I'm expecting my second child in June (2006), it's a boy and we've settled on the name Harrison. I thought of it thinking of my favorite Beatle, George Harrison; however I just really LOVE the name. We will call him Harrison, but I also like the nickname Harry. I think it's cool!

My name is Harrison. I kinda like it, but I use Harri for short. I've always liked Harrison Ford.
