Emma and James Kennedy of West Bromwich, England, welcomed a baby boy about six weeks ago. They’d “been toying with a couple of names including Fraser and Harrison,” said Emma, but didn’t have a name chosen on the day she went into labor.
So it was fortuitous that her contractions began inside a Harry Ramsden’s fish and chip restaurant. They took that as a sign and named their son Harrison, nickname Harry.
This is the second fish and chip baby I’ve come across. The first one, Taylor, was named for Taylor’s Fish and Chip Shop in Stockport — just 90 miles south of of the Harry Ramsden’s in Brierley Hill.
