A boys' name to rival Huckleberry

A friend at work has a little boy called Huckleberry (known as Huck).

I LOVE it but obviously can't copy it, as it's SO unique.

Can anyone think of any 'similarly' out-there but cute/cool names for boys?? Ds2 is due in the summer and I am struggling with an awesome, strong, interesting, unique name for him.

Interested in names from nature, literature, don't mind surnames-as-forenames in some cases...just something that stands out a bit from the kings and saints...

I DONT like: the trend for old-man names, or boys' names that sound too soft/feminine (I would put things like Robin, Caspar into this camp).

Help! Any ideas! What's the most awesome boys name you've ever heard??

Zephaniah - Zeph for short. He is absolutely gorgeous. Not really 'out there' like Huckleberry, but not very common.

What is with this sudden trend of the name Huckleberry? Is someone called it in a popular TV show or something? I know three people who have had it on thier shortlist in the past year. It'll be top 10 next year
