Huckleberry is a nickname. When we were researching potential names for our first kid, I came across "Hamish" in a baby name book. I jokingly suggested considering it because our last name begins with an H, too, so it would be alliterative and very catchy. Well, being pregnant and very hormonal she didn't take that suggestion well. In fact, she kinda went ballistic, eventually suggesting (translation:
screaming), "Why don't we just name the kid Huckleberry!". So guess who actually got stuck with it!
Hormones eventually settled down and the nickname settled in.
Now we've got a whole shelf in the kitchen with Huckleberry collectibles: syrup, jam, preserves - you name it. From Oregon, California, all over the place.
Long story, but I guess it bears explanation.
She owns that Dierks Bently CD, too, but plays that song while thinking about ME!
Later on we'll have to chat about Mississippi.
