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).

Kit makes me think of sports kit or some other kit, not a name.

And yes, post addressed to Mr K Rooney....

I really love Kit as a nickname for Christopher. Less so on its own, but it's miles better than the ridiculousness that is Klay.

I love Kit, but really dislike Christopher and for me, Kit just seems incomplete as a full name. Much preferred as a nickname. I do love it so though.

Why are people saying it's not a name. Historically, Kit was the nn for Christopher.

I just tried to say Kai Klay & Kit and ended up with Klit 😮

I really like Kit as a nickname for Christopher. Like Kit Marlowe. But not keen on it on its own. Much better than Klay, though, which is just dreadful (tho it does remind me of Clay Davis in The Wire - sheeeeeeeit).

Talking of nicknames, Simon Gregson, who is in Corrie, has three boys too - the third was born in December. The middle one is Harry and the new baby is Henry. That's the same name!

Oh no! I was just saying the three names to my DH and tripped over them and came out with Kai, Klay and Klit... Maybe not the best combination because I can't be the only one who will stumble over them!

Kathy, I once posted that I taught a child called James whose brother was Hamish. Apparently mum only found out when James was 2 that Hsmish is James.
Another poster then said, yep, she taught a Lism whose brother was William.

But then along comes another poster to beat us all by telling us about the 2 sisters called Margaret. Apparently the parents thought it ok as they were both called after different people!

Kit is the best of the three (first) names they have chosen.
It will be tagged with footy/football kit though without a doubt.
Don't get why same-initial themes are popular with parents but each to their own and all that
