Since before our son was conceived we were pretty set on naming him Harrison. Our family hates it, but we are over that hump and don't care now lol. A few days ago my husband brought up a name to me that I really like. Ephraim. We both like it but I feel kind of weird changing it. Plus I'm a little worried that it wont get pronounced correctly. We already have that problem with my youngest daughter whos name is Brynja (brin-ya). Everyone knows him as Harrison... so which name sounds better?

I love Ephraim!

I LOVE Harrison! It's used not nearly enough, timeless and classic IMO.
How do you pronounce Ephriam?

the name ephraim is beautiful

I like both but I'm going to go with Ephraim.

Tough. I like both. Ephraim is less common, I think. It's also the name of a character I like in Seven Brides For Seven Brothers... haha. So it wins.

I like both. Sorry that's not much help but don't worry about changing at the last second. It's not like it's on his birth certificate lol.

Ephraim. Harrison is more a last name than a first name.

Oh it's so hard to decide lol! Maybe we will have to wait and see him first.

That's a good idea.   Hard to put a name to a face you've never seen

I'm a planner so that's going to be hard, but it seems like the only option at this point lol!

We always have a list until we meet them then we decide. Right now our front runner for this new baby is Ephraim. I love it.
I like Harrison a lot too but Ephraim is my favorite boys' name.

I adore Harrison and think it really fits with all your girls' names too!

LOVE Harrison, and Harrison Ford is a good namesake.
