I don't love Huckleberry. ( As a name. The berry is delicious!) Huck is cute.
Lila is an actual name. Not a nickname, but like a classic, been around for 100+ yrs name. I'm so confused about what it is supposed to be short for. Delilah? That would work, but good luck getting a job when you share your name with a biblical whore!*

Maybe I am bitter grapes because I have a Daisy, but I don't understand the notion that a name predicates success. I mean, we have a president named Obama. I am pretty sure a "Lila" can get a job.
ETA: I like the name. Kids are ruthless when they want to be. I knew a Brooke last-name-rhymed with-wall who kidssaid was " flat as a brick wall". I knew a Nick who had a last name that was three syllables and ended sounding like" not too". He was Dickless Can-not-screw. Kids are brutal if they want to be.

Do you mean "Barack?"
Good lord I must be tired! Yes, Barack. I was thinking of using Oprah, and decided to go with president Obama. I swear I am not that stupid, I just got stick on "o".
Dammit shamrockshake (best McDonald's shake since the eggnog...if you can call those chemical treats shakes.) I was going for this:
FWIW, my grandma's name was Lila. She would be pushing 100 now. My grandpa was Jack (well, John, but "Jack" to the world.) The daughter of my old boss named her son Jack. My other former boss named his daughter Lila. They'd be 12 and 13 now. So...
(and I'm pretty sure as cute and not-stupid kids of pretty decent looking, intelligent and educated parents, they'll be employable when they're cut off from the parental money fountains, despite the names.)
