Do I like the name Huck or is it hormones?

Live in the uk for context. I feel like if we lived in America it would be fine!
It's just such a sweet name, Huckleberry. But he'd definitely hate me right?

Spotted a couple of Hank suggestions. Defin don't go for Hank Huck (Thank Fuck) OR Huck Hank the Fuck Wank.

Waferbiscuit · 18/02/2024 23:57

How about Hal or Hank (short for Henry). Both have the same vibe but less 'out there.'

Aaaaaah ok I get it it's a no 🤣🤣
I think it must be hormones. I wish it wasn't all so juvenile though with fuck etc but I do know that that would 100.% be the reality.

Ig only I lived in the Deep South somewhere, although surely it still rhymes with fuck 🤷‍♀️

I like some of the other suggestions, Rhett, Hank/Henry, Huxley I'm not so sure, it's not really my style but then also I obviously can't be trusted 🤣

Sounds like the sound of someone coughing up a bit of phlegm.. lovely

EsmeShelby · 18/02/2024 21:45

It's hormones. don't do it.

greendaisie · 18/02/2024 21:44

Doesn't Bear Gryllis have a Huckleberry?

Pickledperr · 18/02/2024 20:26

You could do worse. Why is Peregrine acceptable but Huckleberry isn't? We knew several in London born to left leaning outdoorsy no-screen types.

Have you been watching Scandal that's where I've heard Huck I mean he dissects people so it's not something I'd want to call a baby ! and it sounds a bit silly.

TheBeautifulCorrs · 18/02/2024 19:28

I know a Huckleberry.

It was a surprise to hear when the birth was announced but I got used to it very quickly. It suits him, his family and their lifestyle.

But I can't deny it is on the more unusual side.

pizzaHeart · 18/02/2024 19:24

Hormones and tiredness.
You need relaxing walk and early bedtime.

TheHorneSection · 17/02/2024 22:43

Hormones.

About the same stage I fancied calling DS “Jed” after President Bartlett.

Wait it out.

I know a Jed. It suits him!

@putonaredlamp It’s the rhyme with fuck that makes it dodgy territory for me.
I know a female Berry though and whilst it was weird at first it grew on me.
Finn might be better however

Sneez · 18/02/2024 19:21

Hormones!

Firstclassfart · 18/02/2024 19:20

I've never heard of Huck. First word that came to mind was fuck. Then muck then pluck and phonetically...hook.
Hormones are utter bastards.
I'm applauding satine, from upthread.
Nobody is quite as crackers as my dad though for naming kids. All my half sister's names have the same ending. It's like the Walton's gone wrong.

DillDanding · 18/02/2024 19:02

Ok for a Labrador, wanky for a child.

FormerlyPathologicallyHappy · 18/02/2024 18:58

I honestly think parents should have to register the birth and then at 6 months you go back and name them.

Stressybetty · 18/02/2024 18:57

Huxley reminds me of the cartoon Huxley Pig back in the 80's. "A new dream every day Huxley Pig (oink oink) who you gonna be today Huxley Pig? (oink oink) Sam is here to play, food is never far away, a new dream every day Huxley Pig (oink oink)"

alteredimage · 18/02/2024 18:56

Rhett?

LittleBoPeepHasLostHerShit · 18/02/2024 18:54

He'll be nicknamed 'Dingleberry'. 🤮

DontWasteMyTime · 18/02/2024 18:47

It's ridiculous to even think of naming a baby Huckleberry 😂

PossumintheHouse · 18/02/2024 18:46

Topseyt123 · 18/02/2024 18:44

No! He'll get called Fuck all the way through school and beyond.

Don't do it! Imagine your poor child's embarrassment. He won't thank you.

Yup. And God help him if he ever crosses a partner.

He’ll forever be known as Huck the Fuck.

No hucking way!

Lol

For huck’s sake, no.

Charlieradioalphapapa · 18/02/2024 18:41

Definitely hormones

HauntedPencil · 18/02/2024 18:40

Gosh 😅
