I love it as a middle name (like the combo below of Roger Huckleberry Shaw? Swoon), but I'd never use it as a first name.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure myself where the appeal lies. I suppose I like it because it's a quirky name that's so admittedly ridiculous it somehow loops back around to being amazing. Huckleberry was once used as a term of endearment, and I think that's sweet, and not quite as obvious as naming a child, say, Pumpkin or Sugar Bear.

Honestly, Huckleberry seems like the kind of name I should harp against, but something about it keeps me from doing so. Maybe it is the literary connection or my old love of Huckleberry Hound, but I do love the name (as a middle name). It casts a strange spell, it seems. :P
