[Opinions] Harrison Joy
For a girl? I have just read that the actress Helene Joy (Murdoch Mysteries) gave birth to a baby girl in December that she named Harrison Joy. WDYT?

I don't care for Harrison for a boy, and I think it seems completely misplaced on a girl. Joy is a fine nickname.

Harrison is 100% masculine to me. I would never use it for a girl. I do like it for a boy and I like Joseph as a middle name.
Harriet Joy is pretty.

Not for a girl! But I agree with Anneza, Harriet Joy would be beautiful!

I wouldn't use Harrison for any gender or a neutered puppy. Harriet Joy would be delightful!ETA I can sort-of see the point of the Sussexes using Harrison as a mn; but only sort-of.

I'm really sick of -son names on girls. Harrison definitely doesn't work. I'd rather see Joy as a MN for a boy than Harrison for a girl.

Harrison is 100% male to me, so I’m not a fan of it on a girl. Even Harry would’ve been better. You have Henrietta (With the cute nickname Etta!) but whatever I guess.I enjoy Joy as a first and middle name so I think it’s cute and pretty. Harrison Joy? Too try-hard in a weird way. Technically Joy can be a unisex name because it’s just a word, so Harrison with it is kinda funny looking. But it’s not awful I guess. Could’ve been worse.

Harrison is absolutely not a girls name. It’s like naming a boy Isabella. It just doesn’t work.
On a boy? Ugly, but fine. On a girl? Downright bad

I agree 100% with you.
