Heard it recently and really like it but worried it might suddenly get too 20 popular?

Huxley

I want something different and cool but keep seeing it suggested or people using it so am not sure?

Those who hate it, what names are similar? I like the X and potential nicknames - Hux, Huck etc

It's a surname and a place. And a children's TV pig in the 90s.

It sounds more like a name for a dog to be honest - I can see a lovely golden retriever being called Huxley.
But this is why I'd never ask anyone's opinions on baby names as everyone will think something different and it might put you off. If you like it, go for it! Smile

I have never met any children called this but it did bring the Huxley Pig character to mind.

Ps, What were that Youtuber's other children called? I've a feeling that Huxley fits in with American trends (which come this direction to a degree) so it won't be 'rare'.

Sadly Aldous sounds terrible with our surname!!

It's the name of that little boy that the youtuber ''re homed'' so that's why it's being talk about now,

I prefer Aldous!

I don’t think the name will always be associated with that you tuber! If you like it go for it. I personally don’t know anyone called Huxley.

Yes it's the name of the boy, such an awful horrible story that makes me furious and heartbroken at the same time. I'm hoping it wouldn't always be associated with that though?

Isn’t Huxley the name of the little boy that a you tuber just “rehomed” after adopting him from China?

It’s a lovely name OP, but what a sad story as above

NuffSaidSam · 01/06/2020 13:31

I think it will depend a lot on area as well. I think like a lot of 'cool' names Huxley's popularity will be area based.

NuffSaidSam · 01/06/2020 13:29

I can't see it getting massively popular, but agree it is on an upward trend.
