Pip, Bruno, Caspian or Zebedee

[AlexH13]

Which do you prefer? (Spoiler alert: we LOVE unusual names.) Any nicknames for Bruno or Caspian that spring to mind? Or any other similar names you think we might like? Thanks!

Zebedee . You can't be serious?

Zebedee . You can't be serious?

Sadly I think she is

I know a little Nexus.

I can’t pick one sorry op

Frank as a nickname for Bruno?

Love Bruno and Caspian!

Caspian, or Bruno at a push.
It wouldn’t be fair to name a child Pip or Zebedee.

Caspian nn Cas. Love it.

Love Bruno and Caspian or Cassius nick name would obv be Cass or Cassy. (Have met lots of make cassys) don't like zebedee but what about zebediah? Hate pip.

I am genuinely and honestly contemplating naming my second born Zebedee nn Zeb if I am ever lucky enough to get pregnant again.

My firstborn has an unusual name and I love Z names.

Mind you, I’d rather stick pins in my eyes than give a baby a top ten name so I’m probably not the person to ask.

Caspian is nice and Bruno is at least a name. Pip - no. Zebedee - double no. Your kids' names aren't the place to show off how 'quirky' you are.

I would always feel like I'd named my child French or English (or Narnian?) with a name like Caspian. It feels like it should be the root (Casper?).

Unless you're incredibly privileged and sending your son to the male equivalent of Hanford, I feel Pip is a lovely nursery name rather than a handle for life.

Perhaps you like Indigo, Gabriel or Kit (for Kristopher).

Bruno. Zebedee is cruel and I don’t like geography names or nicknames as names.

Zebedee - have a word

I knew a couple of brothers called Zebedee and Zeth back in school.
They didn't have it easy.

Caspian or Casper maybe?

Zebedee hmm. You can't be serious?

Boinggg

Time for bed.

Any except Zebedee.

I would use a ‘proper’ name for Pip, though - Philip, or Peter - rather than use a nickname as a given name.

I do also prefer Caspar or Cassius to Caspian

I like Caspian. Cass would be the obvious nickname, but I’m sure others would evolve naturally. Bruno is ok; not a favourite but not terrible. Pip is more of a nickname to me. Philip is actually around as popular as Bruno for a longer name. Not a fan of Zebedee.

What sort of dog is it?

Zebedee is probably a bit much. Though shortened to Zeb it's pretty nice.

I love Pip - and I know a couple of adult Pips - but they're all Philip as a full name. Loathe Bruno. Caspian is nice, and Cass is a sweet nickname.

As others have said. Pip is a Nick name .

You're inviting a life of ridicule and bullying by choosing any of these names. Give your head a wobble.

Know someone who named her child Zebedee, cos she was so cool. Kid known a Zebby. The most anxious, wet kid you could ever meet.
