Mr
Kipling is the most recognised brand of supermarket cake slices and the like here in the UK, so that's what I think of first. After that I'd think of
Rudyard Kipling, so colonialism and the
Raj and cultural appropriation (along with some good stories, of course).
I couldn't really see it as a given name these days. If I did - and I know this is a departure from my usual tastes - I'd love to see it on a girl.
