Kit Joseph...

[Ham69]

is the name of Coleen and Wayne Rooney's new DS. I must admit I wasn't expecting that and really like their choice (though was, of course, expecting another "K* name).

It's nice. Good luck to them!

It's a lovely name. I'm not keen on the k theme but I suppose they'd already gone down that road with ds2.

I'm just imagining the scores of middle class MNers sadly crossing it off their list now it has been "ruined" :o :o :o

DH's first reaction was "football kit?!"

My friend had twins last week and called them Kit and Siena.

Bet she is gutted now.

Nice. B t Joseph Kit would have been better

Yep magnum. I've just struck kit off the list!

That was my first thought onemagnum I think Coleen comes across really well.

I'm not really a media watcher to be fair but they seem like a nice enough couple. I've no idea why people get so po-faced. They seem to be bringing up a nice family, the children seem well cared for and they've made the most of Wayne's windfall due to his football talent rather than blowing it on drugs, drink and fast living.

Congratulations to the family. Not a Wayne fan but Colleen seems like a lovely mother and I really like the name. Baby Kit is very cute.

I mentioned this to my husband earlier and he said looked puzzled and said, "Kit...as in bag?"

It's nice. Definitely prefer it to Klay!

Nice enough name, not my choice but its my favourite of all 3 of their chosen names. Mind I wouldn't want to say all three names quickly

Isn't Kit the traditional diminutive for Christopher?
I like it.

I really dislike Kai though and dislike Klay even more.

Kit is a fab name. I still don't understand Klay though. And why all K's anyway?

Kit, not sure on the name tbh.

Agree with the fact that it'll be crossed off a lot of lists now as the popularity will increase, especially around the Northwest.

Also agree that it's rather a mouthful to say all three together, Kai Klay & Kit especially with a scouse drawl.

Don't really understand the K theme but each to their own.

Kit is a nice shortening for Christopher. I don't like it as a stand alone name and I do think it's a bit of a surprising name for a sporty family as 'kit' is so commonly used as slang for sports equipment.

I really dislike the trend of calling all your children the same initial, and think that Klay is just awful. I'd be a bit uncomfortable about children with the initials KKK, so I hope they plan to have at least one more child.

Plus if you say the names together they seem to either turn into Kai, Kay, Kit or Kai, Klay, Klit. Which is a bit unfortunate

Kit isnt a proper name I've no idea why its so popular on here.

Joseph's a lovely name.

KKK!!! Holy shit. Surely someone would have pointed out the inappropriateness of that to them...

Kit Joseph is lovely. Much better than his brothers names.

According to the news, they are being trolled for having KKK......

Nickname at school: Kit Kat
