Really set on the name Huxley for our baby boy due November,
only association my husband & I connected was Aldous Huxley

However, did a quick search on these forums & see lots of people mentioning they wouldn't choose the name because 'Huxley Pig'. I googled & can see this is a kids cartoon that had 2 series 1989-1990 in the UK

My husband and I (born 1991) have never heard of this - can someone explain how popular this was & what age people recognise this association - I'm worried if its a household name, my husband less so

thanks so much - any info appreciated!

At junior school in 1990, several of us were sent to use the guillotine which was in the corridor. In the absence of the teacher’s supervision, Mark W began singing the theme tune to Huxley Pig, but I was left aghast when he replaced the Huxley with Fucksley. I couldn’t believe my ears. This is bizarrely one of my clearest childhood memories.

I've never heard of Huxley Pig neither has my DH. But we're older.
