Is this a weird name for a baby? I really like it, with the nickname Kit. A lot of the other baby names I like sound cute for a baby/small child but I struggle to imagine a teenage boy with those names!

I know an adult with that name and he hates it. Teased at school and work. Call your boy Christopher or simply Kit if you like it.

I have a Joseph too, and an Imogen, does it go OK with them? I also really like Elliot....but not sure it goes

I know adults with the name and they like it........I have one, he's not been teased over it yet. We don't shorten it, but I too like Kit. It's not that unusual, we once went to a party and there were three of them! However, it is a bit different. I still love it.

I love Christian and think better with a C.

The K spelling only works if you are Scandinavian otherwise it cheapens the name a bit imo.

Kit is a great nickname too.

I really like it, & I especially love Kit.

I like both Christian & Kristian.

I think Elliot goes fine with your other names too, btw.

I like the name, but would never use it because I'm not religious. It's one of those names that only works if you are religious. No different than naming your child, Muhammad, Jesus, Moses, or any other heavily religious names, IMO.

I always thought Kit was short for Christopher. It could work for Christian, but I would assume upon hearing it that his full name was Christopher.

I'd choose Elliot and think it goes well with your other DCs names.

Kristian/Kit.

are you a Christian? I think it is odd to name a child after a religion. Even if you are a Christian, he might not be
