Tristan, Kit and Lawrence...?? Brave or just plain silly...!!

[Highlandgirl]

Hi,

I've been banging on to DH about calling DC is DS..Hamish. DH isn't keen He wants James...! Go figure it's the same name..just Scottish vs England...
Anyway...on my brave list I had Tristan, Kit and Lawrence...DH has returned to me suggesting Tristan...Hurrah we are making headway..

What do you think?

Three syllable surname, starting with 'M'

Still pushing for Kit (for me this is super brave) and Lawrence.

Thanks,

I've already got a thread running ' DH's Boys Name's'. So sorry to trouble you all again...DC due in 6 weeks so you'll get rid of me then!!!

[Highlandgirl]

Hamish and James are the same name...Hamish is Scottish for James...!!! Very annoying!

Not keen on Laurie, Larry etc etc, however my friend BF is called Lawrence and he's never had a nn. So I live in hope

Kit with our surname is just so flaming cool if only I could find a 'proper' name that i liked that isn't Christoper....

[Highlandgirl]

Don't think Kit is than bad Allnight I grew up with a boy called Kim who had red hair!!

Better than (IMO) the likes of Kai!

[allnightlong]

LOL I have a young cousin called Kai and I quite agree esp since he was named after his fathers old dog!

Kit is a cute boys name but not sure it works for a man imo hence why I'd go saftey option of full first name with Kit as NN. But if you love Kit and only Kit then go for it, as long as you and your DH like it then thats what matters for now.

[allnightlong]

There are loads of James in scotland of all generations, I've always viewed it far more as a Scottish name.

[Rhubarbgarden]

Love Tristan. Kit makes me think of the car in Knightrider. How about Keir?

[streptococcus]

I know a kit. not a silly name at all.

look on wikipedia... plenty of interesting grown ups have it as their name. good name for a laywer or doctor!

but then I went for very dull boys names so what do i know!!!

[pink4ever]

I really wanted Tristan for our ds but dh said no way! Also like Laurence but would not call a baby Kit(even though I like that too) because I dont think kids should have nicknames instead of proper names. Why not just put christopher on birth certificate but insist everyone calls him kit?(best of both worlds).

[Highlandgirl]

OMG allnightlong what are the chances of me picking a family name....!!!!!! HAHAHA

I blame the WAGS! [grins]

[MrsRhettButler]

kit = car

tristan = brad pitt

laurie = little women

no contest really

(its gotta be brad )

[MrsRhettButler]

oooh, how about christian? sounds a bit like tristan and you could shorten it to kit!

[Highlandgirl]

MrsRhettButler you are funny...!!

Not sure about Christian..will need to think it over.

streptococcus been on Wiki and whist lots of people are called Kit...most of them are called Christopher..which I HATE.

Maybe we should have a girl and call her Katherine nn Kit...!!

[AutumnWitch]

ds2 is a Christopher, but is always shortened to Kit which is why I chose it, love the name and it seems to suit him. If he grows up to hate Kit he can always go back.

I think Kit is actually the original short form of Christopher, long before there was Chris (Christopher/Kit Marlowe).

I like Lawrence too, undecided on Tristan.

[Komondor]

all super names.

Love the name Kit, went to school with a Kit and he was v good looking.

Tristan - great name

Lawrence (Laurie) - another great name.

[allnightlong]

the chances of choosing a family name...well fairly high when it bloody Kai!
I blame wags too can't believe it's becoming popular.

[Highlandgirl]

allnightlong I feel really bad..foot in mouth....! I think WAG and Popstars etc etc have a lot to answer for when it comes to baby names..!

Autumn you are right, DH checked last night, Kit come before Chris...!

[ComeAlongPond]

Tristan strikes me as a bit 'trendy' at the moment. I like the name though.

Lawrence is my favourite, though probably would be called "Loz" quite a lot ime (happens to both the Laura and the Laurence I know).

Kit is fab. I do prefer it as a nickname, but tricky if you don't like Christopher...

[allnightlong]

haha Don't feel bad I laughed when I read it.

[neolara]

I know a Kit and Lawrence. Both lovely and IMO you don't need to be brave to use them.

[ragged]

I have a Tristan and he is a hyper-everything cry-baby thug. So... er, not frilly at any rate. He gets mistakenly called Justin, Dustin, Christian, all sorts but his proper name (sigh).

"Kit" with a long surname doesn't work well for me. I guess I feel that surnames and forenames ought to match up a bit.

[allnightlong]

Kit imo goes better with a long surname than a short one, to short and snappy it comes across a bit Kit Kat.

[AutumnWitch]

ds2 gets called Kit K/Cat at home, but then he hasn't quite perfected pronouncing the K and goes up to strangers and announces "hello, I'm Tit"

[Highlandgirl]

Autumn ....Hello I'm Tit...BRILLIANT!

The Adventures of Kit (Surname) sounds like a book...he may write!

If DC is a DG we like to call her Honor..but i'm not sure which DS name works best.

Honor and Hamish (bit of month full)
Honor and James (Nice but err dull?)
Honor and Lawrence ??
Honor and Tristan ??
Honor and Kit ??

Oh bloody hell next time i'm finding out the sodding sex..no doubt this is all pointless and i'll end up with 2 girls or 2 boys..!!

[JojoMags]

Love Hamish and like Kit. Lawrence would be in danger of being shortened to Laurie so if you hate it I'd steer clear. Agree that Tristan is a bit frilly.

[Highlandgirl]

I've met several guys called Lawrence who have never been called anything other than their full name...!
