It sounds incredibly unintelligent.

Not on anyone but especially not a girl.

I've heard it on a dog (boy) but it wouldn't work on a human or a girl of any species.

I've heard of two children here named this, a boy and a girl. I'm not a fan.

No way

No, it doesn't work for me. It's better for your fairy-tale masculine elf character. It sounds a bit silly.

stupid ...
Stupid on a boy too. Even on a dog it's silly. It's far too close to a not very nice word that rhymes with it, for one thing. And it's trying so damn hard to be elfin and zany it's embarrassing.
And it's what hockey players try to get into the net.

Think what it rhymes with, and reconsider.

I think it's fascinating that it's the #70 girl's name in the Netherlands. That's wild. Does it correlate to a Dutch word or nickname? Is it for the Shakespeare character? I'm guessing it doesn't have anything to do with hockey over there....or maybe the Dutch REALLY like hockey? I feel like there's a cultural thing happening that I just can't grasp because I'm an outsider. I can't imagine how I'd feel if I met a Puck. I'd love to see someone pull off this name, male or female, because I cannot imagine it on a real person at all and the fact that there are LOTS of real life Pucks somewhere out there blows my tiny mind.

I was surprised by that too but many cutesy nickname names and short forms (Kiki, Liz, Evi, Bo) seem to be common there. I guess it must come from the Shakespeare character because I couldn't find another etymology. But in Dutch it should sound more like "pook" but with a short "oo" sound (unless they pronounce it the English way); at least it would sound like that in German. Not that it really makes it better because then it sounds like "fook" or "puke".

It's a thing people hit in hockey, like naming a kid Ball. Or it's like Pooka. Weird.
Rhymes with yuck, muck, duck, and luck...I'd rather meet someone named Luck.
If I heard it used, it'd mainly come across as a surname to me, like Puckerman "Puck" in Glee.

Gosh, no...
Not for either gender.

But why? Personally, I see no reason in using it, it reminds me of Pixie and Nixie, and no wonder: these are the names of mischievous mythological creatures. Plus, Puck sounds masculine to me.
P.S. puck is a hard rubber disk used in ice hockey. (c)
In this case it looks like Puck's parents are hockey players or fans.

It’s a little bit immature but it’s cute.
