Does a pun-based name count as The Artifact if the original context is gone?

So, I was considering adding The Artifact for Huckleberry Pie in the Strawberry Shortcake character pages, as his name was originally a pun on "Huckleberry Finn", as the original incarnation of Huck was an Expy of him. Future series don't follow suit and reimagine him as a regular boy, so the pun from his name is kinda lost. I'm kinda hesitating on adding it, since huckleberry pies are still a real thing and one could argue his name is just drawing from that.

And if it does count for The Artifact, I have a followup question regarding Reimagining the Artifact, as Huck's 2021 incarnation reimagined him as a street musician, and I wanted to know if street musicians counted as "hucksters", as that would mean his name was now a pun on "huckster" and "huckleberry pie"
