Kit for a girl

[tommyfools]

DH and I both Kit as a name for a girl

But (probably) people think of it as a boys name

So thinking we need a longer name that Kit could be a nn for.

Any ideas?

Katherine, obviously

[MummysLittleSunbeams]

Same as lockets but it's my dd2!

[tommyfools]

that is the problem - DD1 is a Rina (Catherine actually though)
So can't have Catherine

Well, for blokes Kit was traditionally short for Christopher, so how about a female Chris name?

Christy
Christine
Christabel
Christen
Kristen
Kirsten
Chrystal?

Or failing that

Kitten

I'm liking birdofthenorth's Kitten suggestion!

Christa
Christina
Christiana

Karissa
Kirstie
Kitara /Kithara ...may sound a little too much like cattarh?!

There's a book called The Lark in the Morn which has a heroine called Kit. I always loved it as a name. It's short for her surname but why does it need to be short for anything? Short names are good.

Kit was my grandmother-in-law's name.

It is short for Katherine (Kit is short for another diminutive of Katherine - Kitty).

Cricket. never will get past the MN censors or most DHs but I think it's very sweet.

I love that name! Kit is such a cool name

[Hulababy]

My auntie is called Kit. Her full name is Kathleen.

Kezia nn Kit would just about work.

[someRaaRaaplease]

I like it just as Kit.

But peoplemay think it is a nn for a Catherine like name - which would be odd. So actually having it just as Kit may be better.

Kitara, Kitra, Kitlyn

... but Katherine much nicer!

[anyagoogle]

It is a pity you already have a Catherine as that would be the best one.

But I like the idea of having Kristen or Kirsten or even just Kit as the name (plenty of names are only 3 letters long and lovely)

One of the loveliest old ladies I ever knew was Kit/Kitty, nn for Kirsten.
