Would this come across as a bit narcissistic?

First DC due at the beginning of December and we know he's a boy. We're pretty much set on Christopher Hugh, using Kit as an everyday/nickname.

However, it's just occurred to me (duh!) that my name is Kate, and it might sound a bit odd/egotistical that his name is so similar to mine. DH thinks it's a non-issue and it hadn't occurred to him either, but now I've started thinking about it I'm starting to wonder if people will think it's odd...

So I'm putting it to the MN jury - thanks!

Lovely-go for it.

I think they're rather too similar, sorry.

Not too close at all.

I do wonder of the mums who say 'baby will be XX, nickname YY' how many of the babies end up actually being called by their nickname. Most people I know have odd nicknames which bear no resemblance to their actual name.

I like the idea of Kit and Kat though.

Some wit might make reference to those chocolate covered biscuits though.

Nope, kit and Kate are totally different

Go for it

It would not occur to me at all! Good luck for December!
