kit?

[newby2]

Just putting it out there?

I'm not that keen on it, prefer Rex as a short name.

Love it. I would put Christopher on the bc but use this as a nn. So much more funky than Chris, IMO. Also like the short form Kester. Off to scribble that down, I'm struggling for boys names lol!

As in the car from Knightrider? x

I prefer kit as girls name. I have a female friend called kit and she's lovely

Love it, and I would just go for Kit on the birth cert!

As short for Christopher, lovely.

I do know an incredibly posh Topher, though. I do have trouble not giggling!

sounds like that car.... but as a nickname and Christopher on birth certificate, very nice.

Love love love love it!!!

If you are just going for Kit without the Christopher etc would you go for double TT? Kitt?

I had a major crush on a Kit at Uni he was seriously cool. But I think it could be a tough one in Primary, accusations of it being a girl's name? Personally I love it.

Ha:-) SOme very funny comments. I know- I loved Kit too it's funny though, the more you say it and get used to it the more it becomes a name in it's own right. Who on earth names a child Topher!!!!!

We think Kit's cool as a name itself and pretty rock and roll. We have an interesing surname beginning with Z which goes well with Kit. We probably have a couple of days to go so I'll keep looking for inspiration on here!

Kit is a great name. I'm a little biased though, as its my sons middle name. The only reason I didn't consider as a first name is because I like names where you can choose to shorten/lengthen if you want to later in life, (and I'm not a fan of Christopher). I really like the Cornish name Kitto, which you can shorten to Kit but, even though I think it's cool, it sounds a little feminine to my ears, (even though i had a great, great uncle called that). Kit for me is entirely a boys name though. Some people have said "what? Like the car?! Ha, ha, ha!". I try to smile sweetly rather than point out that actually, the car was K.I.T.T. Sorry to be an 80's tv pedant. I say "no, as in Marlowe" which they either get or they don't. Oops! I've gone on a bit but, in a nutshell, go for it if you love it!!!

I love Kit and would have it on the certificate. I also like Ned, Ted and Rex.

I love Kit, it was on our list. We went with Ted.

yes, we have a Ted in our family. Just Ted. Love it although his mum may change her mind when she gets the Ted DVD in her Xmas box

Love it. It's our front runner at the moment!

LightHousekeeping I'm purposely avoiding watching Ted!

Well, I prefer Father Ted to that potty mouthed bear!

Lovely name for a girl!

Kit and Kitty sound so feminine to my ears!

Love it but not keen on Christopher

Jamie Theakston has one, I believe.

I quite like it.

Love it too, dp not keen so sadly not made our boy shortlist

Love it, for a boy or girl. Christopher, nn Kit for a boy, and Caitríona, nn Kit for a girl, but I think its one of the few nn's that can stand on their own as a BC name.
