Sawyer or Finn

I have to agree w/ Jacks and Array. This would inevitably be linked to both Twain's Huckleberry and, as Array put it, the F-bomb. Kids around him would not be able to resist. Sawyer and Finn are good alternatives. But if you really love it, go for it. Raise him to be himself. Tons of people tried to warn me off of Scarlett for my daughter, saying, among other things, that she would always be compared to the O'Hara, and that kids would call her Scarlett the Harlot in high school. Ridiculous fearmongering. I love her name, SHE loves her name, and no one ever calls her either O'Hara or Harlot.

Huck would be a brave choice, and Huck would have to be a bold kid.
