He thinks Harry is an adjective, not a name. Alternatively, he thinks
Harry is an old fuddy-duddy name. In any case, he doesn't like the
name Harry and would prefer any son not be named Harry. Since we've
always agreed to use only names in our family trees, he would have
liked to say, "Ooh, so sad. No Harrys in our family tree." But, it's
*his* family with the name Harry. <giggles>

If we have a boy, he's actually going to be David Harry, which makes
Bryce even more sad since he thinks it will remind people of the
Harry&David fruit basket catalogue order company. :--)
