Help[Opinions] Re: Harris
in reply to a message by Murasaki
Harris has been very popular in Scotland in recent years. There's a tiny island of the name, so it fits in with others such as Skye, Iona, Islay. The island also means I see it less as a surname - my father goes hill-walking round these regions so to me it's very place-namey.
I do quite like the name as an alternative to Harry / Henry, and to Harrison which I find trendier.

Oh, the family didn't really have a Scottish accent that I could tell, but the kid and his siblings were all very pale and red-haired, so I wouldn't be entirely surprised if they were Scots, they had a bit of "that look".
