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??

I love Rucksack, it's a really strong and masculine name - and the traditional nn is Bumbag which is cute for a baby.

Has no one said it yet?

OK, Tom. As in Sawyer.

Hunter - although quite popular

If you like the Z in Zephaniah but the religious thing is a no-no (also athiest so understand!) how about Zephyr?

Huckleberry is awesome! Huxley is very nice too.
