As the title asks really, are there any alternative full names to Christopher?

Kitson?

I know a Christian who gets Kit.

Christopher.

I do know a Kit whose name is Kit on his birth certificate, so not short for anything.

Kester

Love love love Kit and if it was me it would be Kit on the birth cert! Smile

We pondered it as short for Christian but decided it was a step too far.

In a Dick Francis book he has the hero who is Kit short for Christmas!

Oh sorry, misread the question.

Kit's been short for Christopher for quite some time - see Kit Marlowe, mates with Shakespere.

Never heard it with any other names.
