I once knew a little boy called Brock - Named so because his mother loved badgers! Smile There were 5 little Brocks born in the UK last year, according to ONS.

Kit - I've seen this mentioned on mn as a variant of Christopher, but it's also the name of a baby fox.

There's Brooke, Sky and Summer for girls as well.
