Hard one...how to get Kitt without using Christopher...

[FriggFRIGG]

Or Christian etc...
There must be a long name with a 'kit' beginning middle or ending.
But I can't find one.
I like unusual names,Cornish,old English,old Norse,Celtic,or just underused Names. (I don't want an 1980's name though )

It may have to be a rather a tenuous connection.
If anyone can find one,it'll be you lot.

I too think of a 'kit' as in tool-kit, sports-kit etc when I see/hear kit.

[WormCanner]

Sorry, I dislike Kit. Far too much scope for teasing and puns. Tool kit, drum kit, first aid kit, etc. Mess kit. Kit bag. Kit-e-Kat. Fuc_kit.

PS with a double t I just think 'car from Knightrider'...

[olivertheoctopus]

I know of a Kit. That's his full name. Although I thought Kit was short for Christopher normally.

Kitchener, Keith, Birkitt, Hackitt, Carson, Kitaj

[IAmLouisWalsh]

It has already been said, but Kester? There was one at DS1's nursery and I love it.

[Christelle2207]

I have got the same dilemma because I also love kit (not sure about double t though).
The other one I like is Pip, as in great expectations. But not keen on Phillip and not sure you can be a grown up called Pip, I do however know two grown up Kits.

[narmada]

I really like Kit as is. Great name.

[FriggFRIGG]

Yes....much to kill-y

Anyhoo,I've decided it'd be Kit or Kitto,if it's going to be kit...IYSWIM.
I've given up trying to find a long name I like enough.

[narmada]

Killian? Possibly sounds too kill-y.

[FriggFRIGG]

That would be fun...

[SaggyOldClothCatpuss]

AHEM! DP is called Keith!
The kids call him Ken or Kenny!

[mewkins]

Ooh but yes, Keith is due a revival. Can you imagine what fun it would be to announce that you've called your baby Keith?!

[mewkins]

Kitson has a good ring to it.

[SaggyOldClothCatpuss]

I really like Beckett.

[MrsSchadenfreude]

Hello Kitto.



I used to have an Auntie Kit - it was short for Katharina.

[thegreylady]

Kitson
Kester

[FriggFRIGG]

I thought it was a bit matchy...

[lucywiltshire]

what's the problem with having an Arlo and a Jago?!

[Shr0edinger]

Nightrider, kit for short

[RobinSparkles]

I agree that Kit is fine just on it's own.

However, what about:

Keith



No, thought not.

[Amphitrite]

Kitchener?

My personal opinion is that if you want a child to be named a specific thing, then put that on the birth cert. Otherwise the shortening that ends up sticking may not be the name you wanted. Eg, your Christopher-called-Kit may end up by secondary school as Christopher-called-Christy leaving you gritting your teeth as that was the shortening you always hated kind-of-thing.

[FriggFRIGG]

[FriggFRIGG]

I have a name sorted for a girl,and I don't much care for Katherine anyhow...
I'm going with Just Kit,or Kitto...maybe.
