Close but not quite, Prince Harry's name is really -

Henry Charles Albert David Windsor

Amoung some parents, they prefer to give their kids a nickname
type name rather than a formal name. For example, I had a 
friend who was named 'Jimmy' rather than 'James'.  Jimmy is 
the name on his birth certificate. 

So, it is possible that Harry really is just Harry. At his
hearing, he is referred to as 'Harry James Potter', so that
seems very likely.

As far as just-Harry becoming a more popular name, I think
that is likely both because of Prince Harry and because of
/our/ Harry. What I'm waiting for is the first kid named 
'Draco'.
