Huck
I'm still in love with Huck. I absolutely adore Huckleberry, but I don't want to bestow that on a real child. There's also Huxley, of course, but I don't really like it.
So, could Huck work as a full first name? What do you think?

No
It rhymes with a swear word. I don't think it's a good idea.

I like it... somehow. I wouldn't use it though, because there is a certain teasing potential. It sounds cute though, and the Huckleberry stories are great. It wouldn't be usable though where I live, because we it's rather a last name.
I like Huxley, too, though I am not the biggest fan of the "x".

Sorry, but no. It sounds like coughing.
Sorry, I can't get behind any name (Huckleberry, Tucker) that could be shortened (Huck, Tuck) to something that rhymes with the f word. That's just way too tempting for the child's peers to resist, lol.
No, no and no again. Sorry!
No problem
I asked for opinions, so I won't be complaining if that's what I get ;-)

I do understand the appeal. The idea is similar to Jack, and its woodsy and pleasant. Huckleberry is just too much, and I don't think Huck needs a full name if you'd like to use it.
I really like the idea of Henry "Huck" and think it goes well with Myrtle and Vance, but here are some other ideas (stretches?) for first names:
Hector
Howard
Harris / Harrison
Habacuc
Hammond
Harold
Harvey
Hubrecht
Humphrey
Horatio

Huck, huck, bo buck, banana fanna fo-
No, I don't.
No, I don't.
I'd go with Huckleberry as a middle name. Huck as a first name is just too close to a four letter word for my comfort.
I don't think Huck or Huckleberry or any Huck name should go on a birth certificate. I'm also wary of using Huck as a nn because of what it rhymes with.
I like Huck, but only as a nickname. It shouldn't be on a birth certificate. I'd pick my favorite boys' name that begins with an H and then call him Huck. Who says you can't? There's no law against it.
Huck is just awful. I don't know how people ever got to thinking it, and Huckleberry, was a good name for a real person, but it seems to be a hipster-Hollywood favorite just now.
It sounds like some poor person coughing on a piece of food in their throat.

Agreed. Huck is awful. It also rhymes with f*ck.
If you must call your child Huck, give him a nice normal name on his birth certificate. Hector, maybe?

I love Huckleberry nn Huck too. It might also work as a nn for Harvey or Harold, or you could put Huckleberry in the mn slot.
I almost named a dog Huck. Then i thought about what it was like to yell it. I decided it was to much like F*ck to use. If it was short for something, you could yell the full name instead. If not yelled, I like it as a full name.
Other full name suggestions:
Herman
Harley
Harper
Hubert
Humbert

I think Huck works by itself as a full name. I wouldn't complicate it by making it into a nickname. You could MAYBE use it as a full name for Henry, since it's similar to Hank.

I really don't like the name Huck since it brings the word Hunk into my head and that just sounds like I big old hairy man (or the Hulk).
However... I think Huckle is a really cute name and Huck is not as bad if its just a nickname for Huckle.
Also, this is just my opinion, if you love it then go for it! Do what makes you happy!!

Huckle Cat ...
Is a character in a series of kids' books by Richard Scarry, and on the spin-off cartoon show Busytown Mysteries.
His friend is Lowly Worm.
That's why I say Huckle is no better than Huckleberry.

This is how I picture a Huck or a Huckle...
That's the first thing I think of too.
Nope. Rhymes with F***. Puts a name automatically out for me. Huckleberry makes me think of dingleberry. Not a great image. Huckle is a little better, but it just makes me think of chuckle and I can't get that out of my head.
I think Huck as a nickname is the best option if you feel you must use it, for what, I am not sure. Huxley sounds like the best option but doesn't go well with your other kids and appears trendy.

I have never seen the appeal of Huck. It seems so hillbilly to me. I does not pair well with Myrtle and Vance.
Henry "Huck" is much more interesting. I think Henry, Myrtle and Vance sound nice together. I don't find Henry any more boring than Vance (Vance has become quite popular here)

Maybe that's true for you, but our Vance is the only boy with that name in my region (you could compare it to a small state in the US), so it's definitely not popular here.
I love Huck as well and I think it works well as a name. :)
Not in my book. What about Henry? Even if you always call him Huck, at least he has a more adult fallback option if he wants it (he may or may not, I just think it should be an option)
Henry seems so boring next to Vance and Myrtle. I've got nothing against classic names, but Henry isn't one of my favourites.
