I love Hawthorn (this spelling only), but don't like Heathcliff.

---

I would use Hawthorn Elric.

I didn't like Wuthering Heights, and I can't separate Heathcliff from that. It doesn't really appeal, and mostly feels rough and violent. I think Heath and Cliff are slightly better separate, if anything.

---

Hawthorn on the other hand, feels softer, more magical, and whimsical. Probably because I have a positive association with it. I'd happily use it in the middle. As a first, I'd go for Hawthorn Atticus, Hawthorn Marlowe, Hawthorn Cedric, or Hawthorn Lorenzo maybe.

I don’t know why, but Hawthorn Glenn just popped in my head.

Not huge of Heathcliff, but Hawthorn is a huge GP for me. I prefer Hawthorne though.

Well, I like neither the syllable Heath nor Cliff, and I really dislike that book, and I don't even like the song that everyone likes that is apparently about the book.

---

I like Hawthorn all right, it's quite romantic. Indulgent. Hawthorne is how I would spell it. I'd prefer it as a middle name but let's try it as a first name

---

Hawthorne Jacoby haha
Hawthorne Francis
Hawthorne Peter
Hawthorne John David
Hawthorne Gavin
Hawthorne Barnaby
Hawthorne James

I adore Hawthorn, although I like the slightly more dramatic Hawthorne. It makes me think of a spooky old forest with dark and twisted trees.

---

Heathcliff does nothing for me. Well, the Cliff part is ok, I do like Cliff. Wuthering Heights is just not my favourite Bronte novel.

---

Oh, I forgot the middle name part! I'd use Hawthorn Jeffrey, perhaps. Jeffrey is an honouring name and I think it would be a cute combo.

Well, Heathcliff is a worthless person, which makes Hawthorn clearly preferable give that the association with the character is unavoidable
