So DH and I have decided against Kit for our baby boy - mainly because of the downer feeling of using Christopher which we don't love and do not wish anyone to call him at any point in his life. It's a family name which we will joyfully use in the middle, but not as a first name, no matter how much we love the nickname Kit.
He will get people looking at his license and calling him Christopher, phone calls in official capacities where people will ask for Christopher and we just can't bear the thought of it - so Kit is out.
I'm a little upset actually, but we have a wonderful first name we're both happy with and has the cool vibe we're looking for.
I'm just wondering how many of you had a close call with using Kit, but backed out because you didn't want to use Kit as a full name, nor did you want to use Christopher. I always notice the extreme popularity of Kit here on the forums, but rarely hear of anyone actually using the name. Is this the reason?

Do we not have more baby boys called Kit because people don't like Christopher?
