As the title says...

Douglas (Dougie) or Kip

Surname 2 syllables and quite unusual.

Interested to know what others think of these names for baby. Due in a few weeks and don’t know whether boy or girl, but keep coming back to these two.

Grateful for opinions!

Douglas is OK, a fine strong name just not to my own taste.

A kip is what I call my DS's messy bedroom.

Dougie is cute!

Douglas def not Kip

Kip sounds like it's a nickname, or be miss heard as Skip as in big metal bin, or Kip as in short sleep.

Not Kip

I still shudder at the memory of the reading scheme
