Kit or Freddie?

[schplappo]

My shortlist for DS, (hopefully agreed to by DH) is now down to two names. What do people prefer out of Kit or Freddie?

He would have a full name on birth certificate but we'd always be calling him by the diminutive.

Trouble I'm having is that I'm finding it hard to imagine a baby Kit - only one aged about 7 and over - whereas I find it hard to imagine an adult Freddie.

Thank you!

I like both, but I teach 27 Freddies a week and have never taught a Kit. So it depends if you want something to blend in or to stand out.

freddie definately IMO!

Oh thank you - hadn't realised Freddie was quite so popular...

My friend is known by the nn of his middle name and it's great - everyone at school, work etc. calls him his nn, but he always knows if he's getting spam email or a cold call because they call him by his first name!

i do prefer Christian to Christopher though.

I don't teach any Freddies at all and I teach 280+ children a week (secondary).

1200 students in the school and I don't believe any of them are Fred. No Kits either tho but we do have Davids, Richards and lots of Harrys!!

I think it must depend on the demographic.

Actually Lizzie 27 anything a week is pretty impressive (tots up Joes and Jordans) nope, can't beat that!

Adore Kit but could never get it past OH. I see Kit as good for all ages.
