Torn between semi sensible (normal) and a bit out there

For our boys name we have always been set on Milo, however lately I've noticed a lot of Milos, I don't know if its just me picking up on it more or if its becoming more popular. Theres also a Milo in hollyoaks now.

Another name we like is Kip, its kinda earthy and unusual and perhaps a little bit out there.

Middle names will be rupert or forrest or both.

Either way our parents/families will probably hate both names but I am torn with what to go for. I'm only 30weeks so plenty of time to decide but some input would be useful!

Well, would you yourself want to be called Kip? That's a pretty good test. It's all well and good to saddle a kid with it, when you don't have to wear it yourself.

I'm not loving either name, but I'd rather be called Milo than Kip.

Don't tell your family before the baby is here! I'm the type of person who really could not care less what other people think of my son's name but whilst pregnant I told my mum we liked Campbell. She said she didn't like it and it really affected me. She didn't realise this and once he was born it took around a week to register him because we couldn't decide. My mum rang me and said are you doing this because I said I didn't like it before? I told her i wasn't sure and she told me that if I liked that name to go for it. She also added that when she picked my name no one liked it! I registered him that afternoon! He's now 3 months and she tells me she likes it and it suits him.
My Nan on the other hand hates it but there's not much she does like so I dont worry about that!

Milo Rupert Forrest “Jones”?
It’s a bit much to be honest.

Milo is a Tweenie and Kip is wide open for ridicule.
