Re: Huckleberry
in reply to a message by noisynora
Huck Finn is a cute and enduring character, but I'm torn on the sound of Huck. Is it too much like a hacking sound? It is sort of how I feel about Puck, which also has a fun folksy literary connection but sounds like something you'd throw.
Huckleberry in its entirety sounds silly, and, if I recall correctly, Huck Finn wasn't fond of his full name either.
There is also the famous scene from Tombstone.

I'm your Huckleberry
That's the first thing I think of. I guess the Tombstone association isn't entirely bad, since it's an expression meaning "I'm the guy you want".
I feel like we did actually have a member here who named her child Huckleberry. Or something. I remember her calling him "Huck".
