I love Huckleberry as a nn! Of course, it can't be a nn derived from a first name, but...
Our first son will be
David Royce. Dh is
David Lynn. Since having two
David's would be oh so confusing, I've decided Huckleberry would be just fine as a nn!
Apparently this is somewhat of a family tradition.
My great-great-grandpa,
Arthur Courtney, went by
Joe.
My great-uncle,
Lawrie, went by
Pete.
My grandma,
Elsie, was called Tinker for a while. A cousin, I don't actually remember his real name, is known to the whole family as Boogerman.
So, wdyt? I'm sure it's not something he'd choose to go by at school, but when there are 2
David's present, why not Huckleberry?
ETA: I thought I rememberd said cousin's name, but I forgot when I clicked edit. I do know he's a Jr., though.
