Re: Huckleberry?
Why not, it's your right and privilege to name this child, so if you like it, great. However, I have to agree with another poster that Gavin Huckleberry does not flow that well in terms of trendiness/uniqueness. Also... you stated you like Holden William. If I remember correctly, was there an actor a long time ago by the name of William Holden?Huckleberry, to me, is more of a memorable character than a weird name... so I think it works. Then again, I am in love with the name Atticus and would use it in a heartbeat if my husband allowed it. I don't think there is anything in this world that can stir up great emotion than a really good character novel... and a classic one at that. If it really means that much to you, go for it!

There was a William Holden...Holden Caulfield's name supposedly comes from a movie poster which had William Holden and Joan Caulfield's names on it.

oh i never knew that. That's cool though. But I didn't pick it because of William Holden. I do like the name Holden because of Catcher In The Rye, but William is for my grandfather and I think it flows nicely together.
And I know Gavin is trendy but that's not why I like it. Gavin is for Gavin DeGraw who is pretty much the biggest musical influence in my life and he's the one who kind of inspired me to write my own music. So I'd like to honor him in that way. Plus I do like the name its self. And Huckleberry, as you know, is for Huck Finn.
So yea...that's were my picks came from lol. ~Laura
