Thoughts on the name on its own? Or better shortened from Christopher / Christian?

Not really keen on Christopher as know quite a few people named Chris

Kit as in kitten 🐈‍⬛
Kit bag 💼
Kitty cat 🐈
Kit Kat

I'm not keen on Kit as a name for either gender.

My late DM was universally known as Kit - it really suited her as she was a very glamorous and fashionable 50s/60s lady who wore Audrey Hepburn type scarves and sunglasses, capri pants or chic frocks. And smoked looong cigarettes.

As a nn great - but definitely not as a full name - it’s too nick namey, and also quite unisex.

Kester - a Scottish version of Christopher - is an alternative version. Very underused I think.

👍🏻

I know a Killian Thomas shortened to Kit. Very cool I think.

Larryslockdownlunch · 27/03/2021 15:21

I have a Kit. She loves her name 😂

Blacktothepink · 27/03/2021 14:43

Love it!

Kit Bag

Sports kit, rugby kit, kitty cat etc I'm not keen as a name.

I do like Christopher!

KirstenBlest · 27/03/2021 11:44

Don't put Christopher or Christian on the BC unless you like the name.

Kit is the name of one of the Rooney children.

sarah13xx · 27/03/2021 11:04

Did you use it? What’s the middle name? Love it! It’s in my top 3 now

thegreylady · 21/11/2020 21:24

Kester is an old form of Christopher

LemonBar · 21/11/2020 20:46

I love Kit.

Pipandmum · 21/11/2020 20:45

A relative has this as his name. Like it.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 21/11/2020 20:42

Love it.

@MonaLisaPiles aww glad to hear that! I was worried about it being abit too out there but it grows on me the more and more I say it!

Our last name is Spurr so just need to find a nice flowing middle name also now

Love the name Kit

CosyQueen · 21/11/2020 12:57

Love it and think there is no need to use a longer version if you don’t want to!

MonaLisaPiles · 21/11/2020 12:55

My eldest son is called Kit
Not short for Christopher just Kit

It really suits him and he loves it Grin

Great name and works for a child or an adult

Bbq1 · 21/11/2020 12:50

Lovely name

justanotherneighinparadise · 21/11/2020 12:45

Actually I’m really annoyed I didn’t do that!!! 🤬🤣

justanotherneighinparadise · 21/11/2020 12:44

I like it! I’d go for Christopher on his birth certificate and Kit as a NN 👌
