How popular is Kit? Is it rising? I love it but don’t want DS to be one of 10 in his class in a few years time.

DD has a unisex but more masculine one syllable first name so looking for some ideas aside from Kit.

We also like Joss but DH isn’t too keen on all the S’s and grammatical errors afoot, nor the similarity to Josh.

More ideas and thoughts would be great. Thanks

I love Kit, adore Joss but couldn't get DH on board. Our DS is Rafe and sometimes I think he should have been Rhys, so I think the above list from a PP is spot on. 😅 I'd add Jude too.

Kit is #157, so not that popular, but he could be one of two or three.
I don't particularly like it but I quite like Joss.

It's just outside the top 100 (as a stand alone name). Rising, but not exceptionally so.

I do really like it but personally I would put Christopher on the birth certificate, as Kit is quite limiting as a stand alone name.

Joss I would assume to be a girl.

Just reminds me of the ‘K’ clan belonging to the Rooneys.

There's a couple in my nursery, aged between 1 and 3.
