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.

[FriggFRIGG]

I fricking love Kitto.
but I already have an Arlo...

[Nicknamegrief]

Just go and call him Kit.

I've taught a Kit and no one batted an eye.

[LuLuLovesYou]

I love Kit, I would just use that on the BC and spell it with one t.

[Longdistance]

My friends little boys name is Kitt.

[NightmareWalking]

How about Kest.er? I think it's the Scottish form of Christopher

[NightmareWalking]

Not sure where that full stop came from!

[ladymia]

if the middles names are "quite long and very boring traditional" then I don't see why his first name can't just be Kitt?

Also, I don't understand naming a child Christopher when he will NEVER be called that but that's a personal hang-up.

[lynniep]

I love Kit. I couldn't call mine that though because of our surname (sounds really stupid together) Just call him Kit and have done with it!

[TheOriginalSteamingNit]

Kitbert. Kitfred. Blankit. Glaikit.

To be honest, I'd just put Christopher and introduce as Kit from the start. There are lots of Kates and Lizzies for whom this has worked!

[Cwtchbach]

Lots of Scandinavian type names
Kiite
Kiitu
Kite
Kittel

[lucywiltshire]

if you like Cornish names what about Jago? Cornish for James or Jacob. It's our DS1's middle name - wanted it to be his first name but chickened out!

[SarahMumsnet]

I have a Kit too. Marvellous name. Just Kit on it's own; I will have no truck with Christopher. Fairly common abbreviation where I come from ..

[FriggFRIGG]

I'd love to use Jago,but,as I mentioned upthread,we already have a DS named Arlo.

cwtch those are rather lovely...I'll go and find out about them,thankyou.

Kit(t) is going on my list regardless now though

[HappyJoyful]

Kitto. It's cornish I believe..

[HappyJoyful]

duh sorry missed first post about Kitto. I personally think Kitto and Arlo are fine together??

[FriggFRIGG]

Oooh, MNHQ seal of approval.




By the by,what does "have no truck with" mean?

[FriggFRIGG]

Not too many Oooooooo's then?

DD doesn't have an O ending...

[Glaikit]

theOriginalSteamingNit good choice!! :o

[ivykaty44]

Put down whatever you like on his birth certificate and tell everyone his given name is Kit

Kristian
David
Derick

would all be fine and then know him as Kit

[LazyMachine]

Kit is a great name.

I second (or third?) the suggestion that you drop the superfluous 2nd 't'. It looks weird and unfinished, like it is just a shortened version of something else.

[LazyMachine]

(or Knight Rider's beloved car...)

[FriggFRIGG]

Nuff said.

[SarahMumsnet]

FriggFRIGG it just means you won't have any part of it, basically - here's a handy definition

[FriggFRIGG]

That is a very thorough definition
