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?

No, it's too awful.

Bad, bad, bad. You'll be setting your child up for a life of misery.

Best not for his sake. Immediate target for being the centre piece of f* rhymes at school, and when he's a young adult, and well, forever really

See, this is why I think the UK should have an approved list of names like some other countries do. Then children wouldn't be given ridiculous names like Huck.

It's hormones, you'll look back and laugh. I had a dreadful name lined up for DS, he and are so glad he's not actually called that.

I don’t mind it, and I do know one (posh outdoorsy parents).

It’s a strong flavour though. He’d need something like James as a middle name he could adopt if he didn’t share your taste.

Or how about call him Henry but use Hank as a nn?

It would raise many an eyebrow in America as well ! If you really want it how about Hank plus a sensible middle name, and use Huck as a nickname.

Awful! It sounds like someone clearing their throat.

Not good.
Do you like Hector or Finn?
Watch Hunt for the Wilderpeople.

I think it’s cute!

I LOVE IT!!!!

Are you a MAGA redneck? If not steer clear.

Imagine calling his name out loud at the park or in the schoolyard. Actually do it. Now what do you think?

It's hormones.I wanted Romeo at one point

Gosh 😅

Definitely hormones

Lol

For huck’s sake, no.

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.

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

He'll be nicknamed 'Dingleberry'. 🤮

Rhett?

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)"

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

Ok for a Labrador, wanky for a child.

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.
