Personal experiences with the name Heath

This is a family name on my husband's side, and several of the men have this name is a middle name, including my son. I also have a nephew whose first name is Heath. For some reason, it sounds like a strong, stubborn name to me, with a dash of silly throw in.

My older brother is named Heath for Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights and I really like the name, I think it suits well with the rest of our siblings’ names.
