Huckleberry

[boodleboot]

Now you see i like this name.....before it gets suggested instead let me say i do not like Finn as just too popular round these parts......is it just totally ridiculous? My sister likes it too and she is way more sensible than me usually.....

[midnightexpress]

Oh give over.

[CurwySwide]

Bear Grylls has a son called Huckleberry. Just saying

[SoupDragon]

Why the hell would you do that to a child?

[Greythorne]

Love it, was on my shortlist but had two girls.
Fab. Shortened to Huck.
Do it.

[Scarletbanner]

I like Huck but not a fan of Huckleberry.

[stripeybump]

Imagine shouting 'Huck' in a strop in Waitrose though. Sounds like fuck a bit too much.

[boodleboot]

i hear all of you and my split personality is saying 'oh give over' too.... :)

but i can't help wishing i was brave enough to use it as i love it....it just sounds so adventurous and romantic....

[mayanna123]

I love Huckleberry. Huck is a cool nickname.

[happyhorse]

Why would you do that to a child? I bet you have a nice, boring name that's never caused you any trouble. Kids don't want romantic and adventerous - they want to blend in. And a name that rhymes with fuck is asking for trouble in the school corridors.

[mayanna123]

Is Huck any more teaseworthy than Will(y) or Ga(y)briel for example? Kids will tease any name if they want to.

Cruel

[Collision]

Life is tricky enough without a daft name!

Tis cool for a cat!

[LetThereBeRock]

It's dreadful.It's beyond ridiculous.

[tummytickler]

I love it, but don't think I could ever use it. Very, very cool nn though

[tummytickler]

Nope - I didn't mean nn, I meant very, very cool middle name!

[meditrina]

Finn, Hound or (slightly bizarrely) the Rockabilly Rebels single (OK, that was 'Do the Hucklebuck' but it still came to mind).

Ooh id forgotten how peed off some mners get when u suggest faintly ridiculous names....great to be back!!! My name is uncommon and often pronounced wrong but to be honest anybody who is anybody worthwhile in ur life only gets it wrong once so its never bothered me. I would of hated a common safe dare i say it 'boring' name......but then im romantic and adventurous ;)

All that said my 3 dcs have classic tasteful names as no matter how gorge i think huckleberry is i generally see sense when presented with squishy newborns....and fuckleberry shouted down a menacing school corridor is pretty horrendous i must admit!!!!

[MelinaM]

I rather like it ..but then I am absolutely barking

[meditrina]

Barking? Back to Huckleberry Hound, then!

[NorkyPies]

No, but Berry is nice.

[SoupDragon]

If you love it so much, change your name by deed poll. You may be brave enough but why should your child have to live with the fallout from your bravery?

[boodleboot]

Yes ok soupdragon i'll change my name to huckleberry then. What a good idea.....thanks for the suggestion.

[Toobluntforboss]

I love it but wouldn't be brave enough- wish I were though!
