HelpRe: Rudyard (+)
in reply to a message by Ottilie
A friend of a friend recently had a Kipling nn Kip! I do think Rudyard is usable, but maybe better as a middle name. Caspian Rudyard feels a bit over the top though.

Ooh, Kipling is interesting! I don't know if I could ever get behind it, though, as there's a cake/pastry company with the name.
Does Caspian Rudyard feel over the top because it's too much name, or because there are two literary references? With the latter, I do have Bram Nathaniel Wilde as my #2, so that doesn't matter much to me personally.

It reminded me of the cake company too when I heard it!
I think it's because both names are quite unusual. Usually if one name in the combo is uncommon then I like to have another more classic name with it to balance it out, so something like James Rudyard or Caspian David. I also can't really imagine Caspian being used in real life, although I see there were 30 born in the UK last year so there are several of them out there! I can only imagine a Caspian to be a prince in a fairytale or children's story - but that is probably just because of the literary character. :)
