When pregnant with my son I flirted with the idea of calling him Kerouac after the writer Jack Kerouac. We didn't go with Jack as he has a cousin very close in age with that name.
I stopped myself from calling him Kerouac and stuck with a sensible name which I also love.
I'm pregnant again and still considering Kerouac if it's another boy! My sensible side will win through. Especially as the name would sound daft next to his brother's traditional name.

Reminds me of when my mum phoned to suggest we use Jacques for our firstborn. "It's just like Jack, but fancier" she said, whilst I pissed myself laughing.
