Kit for a boy? - 10 days old already!!

I put up a post recently about our Arlo / Eli dilemma. We now wonder if we should drop them both even though they are our favourite names because our other children are called Isla and Molly. Our latest thought as an alternative is Kit. We're feeling very stuck and a bit stressed as the days tick by and we still have no name!!!

kit is a brilliant name. (if it helps, ds2 didn't get named until the very last moment, we registered his birth on the final day possible, 7 weeks i think, and changed our minds several times in the car on the way there)

Kit is fab, go for it !

I love Kit.

My DH is a Kit, his birth name is Christopher, but it's rare to hear him called that.

I really like Kit too, it's unusual but not a 'silly' name, go for it Smile

Secretwishescometrue · 16/02/2011 10:55

I like Kit would give him Christopher on his birth cert just so he could have the option of a long version when he's older but its a great name :)

FoxyRevenger · 16/02/2011 11:12

love it x

BecauseItoldYouSo · 16/02/2011 11:17

Yep, great name. Go for it!

justmilkpleasenosugar · 16/02/2011 11:19

KIT......Be BRAVE and go for it...! Ohhhh so Envy

It's on my list too! So big thumbs up from here. Grin

I LOVE IT...can't stand Christopher! And much better than Arlo / Eli (IMO)

Best of Luck, and huge congrats on your DS.

Deciduousblonde · 16/02/2011 12:02

Love it!

Yes, it is short for Christopher..but I love it as an independent name too. Go for it Grin

Tillylove · 16/02/2011 13:25

Love love love Kit!!!

It's on our list too - just need to get brave!!!

Go for it and congratulations!!! x

deepdarkwood · 16/02/2011 13:27

Love Kit (would personallly put Christopher on birth cert, but that's me). Better than Arlo/Eli for me, and fits well with Isla & Molly. Congratulations Smile

PorkChopSter · 16/02/2011 13:28

Decision made then Smile
But Christopher on the bc, yes?

ZZZenAgain · 16/02/2011 13:28

For me it is a girl's name because of the Kit Kitredge (? something similar) film . I would take Christopher which is a lovely name IMO and use Kit if you like it. I see you like shorter names.

mamma2boyz · 16/02/2011 13:37

I Love it, also on our list for no 3 if its a boy...

Go for it, and yes much better than Arlo or Eli...

justmilkpleasenosugar · 16/02/2011 13:44

My goodness...can't believe so many people have Kit on their DS list...!!!

TaperJeanGirl · 16/02/2011 14:39

ll I think Ei is the best as I have one Grin but I also have a cousin named Kit, (23, male) he is just Kit not Christopher, so I love that too, and dont dislike Arlo, dd1 has a buddy named Arlo, whichever way you go your boy will have a brilliant name..imo

TaperJeanGirl · 16/02/2011 14:40

Clearly I mean Eli Blush
