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?

Yeah you can’t do this.

TheChosenTwo · 17/02/2024 22:08

Sorry but it’s a no from me 😂😂

Nudgethatjudge · 17/02/2024 22:09

It sounds like a noise before you projectile vomit.

Sorry, I think it’s hormones. I’m pretty open to different sorts of names but I think this is a good name for a dog, not for a man.

maras2 · 17/02/2024 22:11

Hormones or not.
Don't be so silly.

Sonora25 · 17/02/2024 22:11

Strong dislike 👎

Zephyry · 17/02/2024 22:12

Huck, fuck! Fuck no! Hormones 100%

Onelife2024 · 17/02/2024 22:12

Sorry, I really don’t like this!

Saisong · 17/02/2024 22:13

Jeez is not that bad - I've heard worse.

FasterthanaButteredOtter · 17/02/2024 22:13

It's really pretty bad Grin

I came out with some absolute tinpot crackers of suggestions around the 7 month mark, DH just said let's wait until baby is here and luckily sanity returned after birth.

Nicebloomers · 17/02/2024 22:18

I’ve heard worse but it’s a hard pass from me. What other names are you thinking about? You could maybe go for Finn if you have a particular attachment to the book?

aperolspritzbasicbitch · 17/02/2024 22:25

I went through a stage of wanting to call my daughter Satine.

It's hormones, and it'll pass.

MississippiAF · 17/02/2024 22:25

You’ll laugh at the thought of Hormonal Huck in times to come

handfulofsugar · 17/02/2024 22:26

Yuk for huck . Hormones are the best

EmpressaurusOfTheScathingTinsel · 17/02/2024 22:28

It’s hormones. Sweet is a bad thing when it comes to names & Huck rhymes with fuck.

noodlesfortea · 17/02/2024 22:30

The I see where you're coming from, but no, hormones have definitely got the better of you.

TheHorneSection · 17/02/2024 22:43

Hormones.

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

Wait it out.

barelyfunctional · 17/02/2024 22:45

I think it’s cute! I know a little Huxley who gets called Hux which I think is really sweet too.

DancefloorAcrobatics · 17/02/2024 22:51

Reminds me of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.

Please don't do it!

Sellingbedtime · 17/02/2024 22:52

I knew if someone who used this as their sons middle name...

Bigearringsbigsmile · 17/02/2024 22:53

Yes
Please don't

ShareTheDuvet · 17/02/2024 22:55

@TheHorneSection I wanted Jed too! Or Keir after Keir Hardie - that would have been awkward now 😬😳😄

WallaceinAnderland · 17/02/2024 22:55

No hucking way!

He might wish he had an actual first name not a surname when he's older.

Write it down and revisit once the baby is born and you’ve regained the run of yourself
