The name Kit

[Fedupofitnow123]

Or Kytt? Or Kitt

What are your thoughts?

I know its usually an abbreviation but I hate the longer names

I know there’s Kat / Cat for girls but at least that’s short for Catherine.

Kit is short for Christopher @77seven.

Kit :)

Sorry, I had no idea it was a diminutive if Christopher.

DD’s friends brothers are called Kit and Cosmo, so I just thought it was that type of thing. Nothing wrong with being a bit different though.

Cosmo is a real name, too!
Nothing like Biff and Chip.

@Prawnofthepatriarchy You rang?

I am only Kit's codpiece, but I can vouch for the excellence of the name.

Kit is nice, but it is short for Christopher, and I would go with this as the full name, with an intention to nn Kit.

Love it but only spelt Kit.

Never call your child a name that will need to be spelt out every time it’s used. Your child will not thank you for it.

I once taught the most wonderful little boy called Kit so I feel fond towards the name! It’s a nice name imo

Lush? It's a perfectly OK name, but lush?

@Fedupofitnow123 how are you doing?
I’ve got a Kit. He’s almost six and loves his name

But not Kytt !

I presume the poster who used "lush" is Welsh. People say it a lot around here to mean "very nice indeed" !

“Kytt” sounds like an Ikea product.

@Nearlife
And in the north east !

Kit. Don't muck around with it!

Kit is my husband’s name. I love it.

His full name is Christopher but his mum said if she could go back in time she just would have put Kit on the birth certificate as no-one calls him Christopher!

Reminds me of knight rider but I like the name

Love Kit. Hate Christopher, which is why it was vetoed as I didn’t think it worked as a given name by itself, and I couldn’t work out any other names it could be short for at the time.

I love ds name, but my imaginary 3rd child is called Kit still 😁

“Kytt” sounds like an Ikea product Entertainingly enough if you pronounce Kytt like a norwegian would, it sounds just like the word for 'shit' :o :o

@Fedupofitnow123

Kit is OK as a nickname/shortened name for Christopher (like with Kit Harrington,) but it's a bit daft for a stand-alone name/given name on birth certificate.

Also, calling your kids middle class names doesn't make them - or you - middle class. Be careful. Your son may get laughed at and mocked (and you may do too.)

'Kytt' is just beyond ludicrous and laughable. Just don't.

Kit is a nice name What did your friend say about it?

Also, calling your kids middle class names doesn't make them - or you - middle class

Who on earth has said anything about doing this? 🤔
I never realised that Kit was a middle class name or aspirational; the one I knew wasnt.

And why are you presuming that OP is not middle class?

My DS is Kitt and yes be prepared for all the nicknames and references to Knight Rider. My DH is Christopher, and was against the full name going on his birth certificate. I wanted Crispian or Kester on the BC but in the end we stuck with Kitt.

I think it’s lovely for either sex. I have a friend called Kitty and she is mostly called Kit, that’s how she introduces herself

Nice name, very cool. Literary connections and sounds old and modern at the same time.

Do spell it properly, though.
