It's very early in my pregnancy and I'm trying not to think too hard about names yet, but for whatever reason the name Kip keeps popping up in my mind if I have a boy. Part of me thinks it would be better to use that as a nickname instead- but the full names that I've seen (Kipton, Kipling, Kristopher) I don't like. Anyway, I'm not completely sold on the name and I do have plenty of time to consider others, but would love some of your thoughts on the name? Maybe other suggestions?
I immediately thought of Kip Thorne, the physicist.
Theere re are worse names, but there's many better ones too. I would probably use it as a nickname only. I met someone who used Kip as a nickname for Christopher and I thought that was rather interesting.

I know a Kipp and a Kip (both adults). Neither have "full" names. I actually like Kip/Kipp, and think that names like Kipling and Kipton sound like something made up to try and make a full name for a Kip/Kipp.
OP, Kip seems like a nn of the guy at the country club with two Lacoste polos on (popped collars, of course) and a sweater wrapped around his neck. Now...I guess that's fine if that's what you're into but I feel like it's something that should be come to organically and not forced onto a child.

To me it's similar to using Harry as a nickname for Henry or Jack as a nn for Johnathan
I can't love tit that enough

Side note: Don't go with it if you plan on moving to the Netherlands, though. Kip is the Dutch word for chicken.
