Is my name a 'brave choice'?

First time poster on this board!

Our first baby is due in the Autumn, we are not finding out the sex but if we have a boy we have decided to name him Milton.

I told my best friend and sister and they both said 'ooh thats very brave' but they were positive and seemed to like the name. I know you don't see many around but are we brave for choosing this name?

I didn't think it was too 'out there' maybe a bit uncommon?

John Whittaker had a beautiful famous grey horse named Milton which I adored but I don't recall ever making the connection with sterilising fluid - can't say I was the slightest bit interested in the latter as a child!

A family friend is called Milton, but we only recently found out it's short for Hamilton.
