I met a Huckleberry once. Lovely guy! I love the name 😊

Brave
Wolf

Huckleberry is ridiculous. So clunky. But shorten it to Huck and it risks being misheard as something else entirely.

Elvis, for a girl

CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces · 25/01/2019 22:16

Yep mossy, the family is Spanish, not sure if that makes a difference though?

Twins called Daphne and Atticus.

Fanta???? Fanta is called Fanta in Spanish, so this is odd.
Huckleberry is unkind but not terrible.

March for a boy.

My niece has a Buffy in her class. Apparently her name isn't actually Buffy but she's known as Buffy and Buffy is short for something else.

LittleMissCantbebothered · 25/01/2019 22:20

There is a child called Fortune at my daughters nursery!

These are hilarious.

I like Wild, I thought Kim and Kanye missed a trick by not naming their son that.
