[Opinions] Re: Rudyard (+)
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. :)

Ah, I see! I do generally attempt to balance out my combos, with both out-there names and more down-to-earth ones, so I'll definitely be looking to do that when I add a third name, and I'd use the more modest Cas as a nickname for Caspian :)

Would Cas be pronounced like Cass or Caz? :)

Cass :) It's one of my favourite nicknames for boys.
