Pick one - Kit* or Reuben?

*Christopher would go on the birth certificate but he would be called Kit.

Kit. But be prepared for him to have his own ideas about shortenings.

Kit - love Kit! Plus don't like the shortenings for Reuben.

Definitely Kit, what good taste you have Grin. Why not just Kit though, then you won't have any chance of him being called Chris or Christopher. My Kit loves his name and it's not a kids name that will be silly when he's older

Reuben.

But bear in mind he will spend a lot of his life being spelt as Rueben.

I like Kit too though

Kit!!!! (if you call him this from babyhood, Chris is unlikely to take a hold)

Either! Reuben has the edge IMO.

I like Kit... but as a girl's name! All the Kits I know are short for Catherine, Kitty, etc.

Not keen on either but much prefer Kit.

Reuben is much nicer.

Not keen on Kit (twee, and reminds me of cat food)

Wait til he arrives and choose then. we had 2 names for my son and he ended up with neither because they didnt look right on him and we called him something we didnt even have on our list because thats what he looked like! Reuben sounds like puffy faced child and Kit like the car off night rider or maybe thats my age!

Kit. You can't move for Reubens these days but I've never met a Kit.
