When I hear Heath all by itself, I think of him. When I hear Heathcliff, I think of three things:
1. "Wuthering Heights"
2. Cliff Huxtable from "The Cosby Show"
3. A fat orange cat that looks like Garfield, but isn't Garfield (I'm really dating myself, here.)
As to why people name their sons after WH Heathcliff: well, they like the book, and Heathcliff is a passionate, dark character. That's what they're drawn to. And honestly, I don't really think it matters that he wasn't a good person if people like the name enough. Heathcliff was never meant to be a role model.
