Baby names

Leo, Seth or Kit?

Which on is best? I love them all but have small reservation about all three

Leo - really popular. Is this an issue? Can't decide. My name is very common in my age group and I find it boring.
Seth - he will have a sister with a name that starts with S too. Will it be a mouthful? Also is it geeky?
Kit - had a previous thread on this. My name is Cat. I love Kit but there was mixed opinion on whether this is advisable!

What do you think out of the 3? Or if you like them too can you suggest an even better 4th name?

Prefer Leo. Out of 100 baby boys, there will statistically be 1 Leo. Not that bad. It'll be fine. Leo is a great name.

Leo is the nicest followed by Seth!

What Sorena said.

Leo is just an awesome name! It's popular but it's not top 10.

1 in 100 is fine in my book.

Kit is too prevalent - I think it's a character in Game of Thrones and it seems every other baby I see is named Kit.

Plus Cat and Kit - that's terrible!

Leo is a good name.

Not keen on Kit at all. Kit Harrington gets away with it because he looks like Kit Harrington.

Like Seth the best. Don't think it's nerdy?

Another vote for Leo!
It's not THAT popular.

I like Kit best (although with your name, hmmm, not so sure it'll work). Seth is next nicest.

I like them all. Kit is my favourite but not if you're a Cat, sorry. Love Seth and Leo is really cool without being too cool iykwim.

Love Kit, then Leo, Seth would be third choice for me, I do like it but I've always worried about people saying Seff...

Love Kit. I've never heard of any babies being called it, but my kids are older and it's obviously related to GoT. I think it's short for Christopher or at a push Christian.

I think it's short for Christopher. Daphne DM's son was called it iirc.

is Kit Harrington in game of thrones? is he handsome? obviously my son will be extraordinarily good looking too Wink
Looks like people like Leo best with some love for Kit...which I also love, but kind of agree it sounds stupid given my name. Thanks for replying!!

I like Kit, but would snickering about Kit & Cat get wearing?

Leo is a great name, but yes very popular. How do you feel about Leon?

I like Seth. Makes me think of Seth Rogan who seems a decent person (if naff sense of humour). My DS has a friend named Seth who seems a great kid.

I actually love Seth!
Kit is an awesome name but I remember your other thread and I just can't advise you to be Kit-cat together.

Kit! Kit! Kit!
I love kit. This bump will be kit if a boy. I'm a Kate and don't care if it sounds weird to some people. He'll be an independent person lots longer than you're going round with him to baby sensory etc.

I have a three yr old Seth, he's not at all nerdy but a very cool laid back little boy - I know what you mean though! I love Leo too!

hello Kit Harrington is indeed in GoT. Pretty rather than handsome, I would say. I preferred Robb Stark myself.

I don't like Seth. Seth Rogan comes to mind. Also, it'd be a nightmare for anyone with a lisp.

Kit is fine if you have a last name like Harrington, because it flows. But I don't think it works with most last names. Short for Christopher, it's fine.

Love Leo.

Kit: great - but not with Cat
Leo - lovely, but I would have slight reservations over putting that with Cat, too.
Seth: v cool (Seth Lakeman), less good with a sister with an S name, perhaps.

The answer is for you to change your name Wink
