Huck as a nn for Henry

Too out there? What say ye?

I'm kind of in love with it. I love Henry but dislike Hank and Harry. I feel like Huck is unconventional and fun, but he also has the full name of Henry to use if he prefers.

Thoughts?

Love Henry, hate the NNs. Sorry.

I like it. It's fun and unique, and considerate of you to give him a more formal legal name.

I like Henry! Also, Huck lends itself to some unfortunate middle school rhyming.

I love Henry, but not the nn Huck.

I think Huck is pretty damn fabulous. And Henry is my 2nd favorite boy name (next to Charles... of which I see you are also a fan.)

The responses here are pretty indicative of what I figure the general public would feel too (kind of split down the middle.) We still have some time to figure it out. I don't know why I'm such a fan of it... it just struck me!

Thanks for the feedback.

I think I like it too.

I think it's really cute. I'm not a fan of Harry either.

Henry is my son's name so obviously I love it! Why do you need a nickname? I would just call him Henry.

I don't think Henry needs a nn. Plus, your boys could be Chuck and Huck. (even though he doesn't go by Chuck, people could still say it).

Thank you everyone! I passed it by my husband and he's a big fan too. I did think about the unfortunate words that rhyme with Huck but I figure that most names can be teased for something. I don't want to rule it out just because of that.

Oh and Henry on it's own is great, of course. We're just a family of nicknames (my husband and i included). We're nickname-y people!

I thought about the chuck and Huck thing too. That's definitely something to consider. So far we haven't had anyone even try calling Charlie Chuck, so hopefully it'll stay that way.

love Huck for a nn

I hate it. Huck rhymes w/ Fluck.

My nephews name is Huck and it is an adorable name on a 2.5 yo. I like the idea of Henry as a more formal name for an adult. I'm a nickname person myself though.

I kind of like it.

Henry is our choice if we have a boy. We will not be using nicknames as I am not a fan of any of them including Huck (which I've never heard before but it works if you really want a nn).
