I love this name. Harris it's just simple, strong, solid (and everything else I agree with robisonga). I have a son Harris Christopher and expecting 2 more twins boy & girl (Christian Anthony and Antonia middle name?)

It sounds a little like someone mispronouncing "heiress" when said aloud, but I still love this name
