Personal experiences with the name Harrison

My son's name is Harrison, we loved it, but worried that people would call him Harry, he is four and so far, we have gone with Harrison and sometimes Harris! We love that it is different.

We named our son Harrison for George Harrison, and planned to call him 'Sonny' for short because we didn't like the nickname 'Harry'. Well, that didn't stick at all, and we always call him Harrison or Harry. Harry has definitely grown on me a lot, and I now think it's cute and down to earth. We get a lot of compliments on his name.
