how do you feel about Kit as a first name for a girl? I know it’s considered unisex but i’d love to know y’all’s thoughts on it!

Are you in the US? I don’t think Kit is considered unisex. I prefer Kitty for a girl. And only as a nickname for Catherine. I don’t like Kit as a given name for a boy or a girl.

I know a Kit but it’s short for Christopher, I’ve not heard it as a girl’s name.

I love it

Love the name Kit which is a nickname for Catherine.

I know 2 Catharines who are called Kit as a nickname. Definitely good for girls. Actually I haven’t heard it for any boys.

You could use it as a shortening of Catherine/Katherine I suppose, as some people use Kitty.

I'm not a fan of it as a stand alone name for either sex to be honest.

Not keen.
