I really like the name Harry for a little boy.. but not fond of Harold at all. I can think of Harrington as alternative. Are there any other possibilities I am missing?

I have a friend who named her son Harrison, and sometimes she calls him Harry. I like Harrison better than Harold. Harold is too outdated and it sounds old.

Harry can be short (or could possibly be a nickname) for:
Harold
Harrington
Harrison
Harris
Heinrich (original source for the name Harry)
Hendrick
Henry
Henderson
Horace
Harvard
That's all I can think of.
Or you could always, just name him Harry. Harry is a popular name all by itself, it doesn't need to be short for anything.
Good Luck!

If you just like Harry you should name him just Harry. It's your child to name you may as well really like the name!

Harry is usually short for Henry.
