    They had Harrison listed as a Bogan name...... I thought that was a traditional English name?!!!!
    It was... until the bogans got hold of it! It's like all those sorts of names - Spencer, Cooper, Bailey, Archer, Dakota, Madison, Indiana, Montana etc etc etc - 'traditional' names that just got *abused* by bogans a few years after the names first became popular with middle- and upper-class families... now these sorts of names are considered to be 'bogan'. Give it a few years, all the Amelias and Anguses will be the bogan names because they're currently popular with the 'toffs' - it's only a matter of time before they drift down into the bogan suburbs and get a bad rep!

    pmsl Isn't Angus already a bogan name? Or is that only because of Angus Young? ;p

    Harrison was a traditional surname, not a first name.

    I must be living in a cave... I don't think lots of those names on that website are bogan names When I think bogan I think flanno shirts, moccasin, mullets, thongs and stubby shorts while the shielas sit around the camp fire or bbq in their mini skirts and singlet tops with no bra on, frizzy hair which is oily and thick eyeliner with some cheap perfume. Honestly I can't see any of those blokes being called Spenser?
