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

[itsasecret1]

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!

I've taught a Kipling nn Kip. He didn't seem too damaged by it.

Probably because Kip is just a nickname Cake

All the boys in DS1's class call one of their classmates Beanie, which is a sort of derivative of part of his name. He's happy to respond to Beanie from his mates, but I doubt he'd want Beanie on his birth certificate! The boys give each other all sorts of nick names which they aren't "damaged" by, but it would be a whole other ball game if their parents had inflicted them permanently on their newborns as official full, given names!

MUCH prefer Kit
