Kit for a girl?

[skybluedaze]

We both love it but should it be for boys only ?

I think it's fine. Kitty is a girls name after all and a diminutive of Catherine.

Would it appeal as a nickname? That way if your DD decides it is a boys name and doesn't like it she has choice?

I think it'd be nice, but possibly better if you can find a lengthened name that would work, but then always call her Kit (to avoid the likely assumption that she's male, which would probably get tiring).

I really like it.

I'd definitely expect a Kit to be a boy.

Kitty is lovely for a girl, but I'd have it as a nn for Catherine.

We've just binned Christopher/Kit because we thought people would (esp the DC who like Kit and Kaboodle on Kerwhizz, where Kit is a girl).

If DC3 does turn out to be a girl - bearing in mind the sonographer was so sure about the penis he said he'd resign if it turned out to be a shadow - she'll be Catherine/Kitty.

My dd is often kit for Katherine. I wouldn't do it as the whole name for boy or girl though.

I'd assume boy. I agree with suggestions using it as a nn for Katherine, Carina, Catriona, Kathleen etc then if DD isn't a tom boy type she has an option...

I like it but think it's a boy's name, sorry!

I like it. I'd definitely go for some version of Catherine on the birth certificate, but Kit and Kitty are both nice.

I think it's great
Go for it

One of my female friends at high school was a Kit, not short for anything. It's a great name.

I think Kit (nickname Kitty) is very feminine.

I think its a gorgeous name but I would think it was a NN TBH.

My dd2 is Kirsten nn Kitty, DH has an aunt also called Kirsten but we have always known her as Kit. Lovely name IMO!

I'm not keen on Kit but love Kitty. I expect a Kit would often get Kitty anyway. Kit seems a bit unfinished and peculiar for a girl.

I like it, a fantastic female character in the L word was called that - she was so cool!

I love Kitty as nn for Katherine or Kathleen

Kit to me is only for a boy

In America, if you told someone that your son was named Kit, they'd think you were a little crazy! Kit definitely could go for either a girl or a boy.

Wasn't done typing! It could go for a boy or a girl, in America more for a girl and the uk more for a boy. I love it for a girl!

I love Kit/Kitty for a girl

I like Kitty for a girl it's lovely.
