I'm genuinely surprised no one has mentioned Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut. I love Kurt Vonnegut (he wrote Slaughter House Five if you recognize his name) and Harrison Bergeron is one of my favorite stories ever. It's told through the eyes of a father of a teenage boy (Harrison Bergeron) who lives in a society which attempts to be completely perfect and equal. It ends terribly after Harrison rebels against said government. A very good, short read. I would consider using this for my son because I love the story so much.

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.

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.

I am very proud of my birth name Harrison. We have two son's, and they will carry on the Edmondson name. I wish we could have passed down the Harrison name, but that is the way it is. My great grandfather's name was Benjamin William Harrison, my grandfather's name was William Henry Harrison, and my Dad's name was William Henry Harrison Jr. My older brother was William Phillip Harrison. Our youngest son is William Michael Edmondson. I have always been proud of my name. I can't wait to learn more about my ancestors.

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.

My brother's name is Harrison, because he's 15 almost 16 he's kind of out grown the 'Hazzy', 'Harro' kind of names he still gets it but not as much, now he mainly gets 'H' and 'Harry'.

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.

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!
