Due a little boy in 6 weeks. He will be brother to James and Lyra.

We love long names with nice nicknames, and so far have

Atticus - Kit for short
Zachary - Zac
Augustus - Gus

Does anyone have any other ideas along these lines?

Thanks!

How do you get Kit from Atticus??
Just choose a name you like. Your child will ultimately decide what shortened version (if any) they prefer.
