If you like Henry, why not just name him Henry? I don't understand naming a child Harrison and insisting on a nickname that is an entirely different name. Both are great names.

Does this nickname make sense with Harrison as his formal name? I've only ever heard Harry for Henry not the other way around, and afraid this seems a bit of a stretch.
Not if you consider Eunice a nickname for Elizabeth?

It's terrifying how uptight some people are. What does it matter??

Why do your families get a say? Name him something and tell them to call him that. What's this "grow into a name" crap?
Sheesh. Will they also get a say in what he eats and when he poops?

Of course it can work. Lots of nicknames (especially in past generations) where not shortened forms of the long names but rather actual nicknames.

No. What is wrong with just calling him Harrison if that is what you name him? Harrison is cute. Henry is nice, too, but it is a different name altogether.

You could try, but it might not stick beyond your own family. (And why is anyone in your/DH's family deciding what they'll call your child, regardless of the name you give him?)

If you want a longer name, Henrique/Henrich/Henric, Henderson or Hendric/Hendryk are longer names that could shorten to Henry.
Otherwise Henry is a decent classic full name.
According to some name origin sources, Harrison is an alternate form of Henry.
