I think the name itself is quite nice, and I, too, love Kipling's books. But upon a rather in-depth study of imperialism, I discovered that Rudyard Kipling was a straight up racist. Like, a really bad one. He essentially thought that the white guys should just go ahead and kill all the Africans and Indians. Sometimes I think that I know TOO much about history, because it makes me feel unable to use a lot of names that I generally like. But as long as that association isn't a big deal for you (most people aren't as history obsessed as me, so that's totally understandable), then go ahead and use it. It's a lovely name despite Kipling's lesser qualities.
