Leo, Seth or Kit?

Which on is best? I love them all but have small reservation about all three

Leo - really popular. Is this an issue? Can't decide. My name is very common in my age group and I find it boring.
Seth - he will have a sister with a name that starts with S too. Will it be a mouthful? Also is it geeky?
Kit - had a previous thread on this. My name is Cat. I love Kit but there was mixed opinion on whether this is advisable!

What do you think out of the 3? Or if you like them too can you suggest an even better 4th name?

Leo, then Seth.

Not a fan of Kit.

Seth is my fave boys name ever. I have 2 x dd's so won't ever use it but always recommend it on baby names thread.
Haven't met one since I was at school with one either

Love Kit! I once new a man named Kit and he was one of the nicest men I'd ever met, a true gent

KNEW**
Oops

Kit is, as others have said, short for a Christopher, so if you love it why not use Christopher as the actual name, and then the child can choose which of the different variants they want to use as they get older?

I also always think Leo is short for something (Leonard? Leopold?). Again, I would actually use one of the longer versions, to give more options.

All three names are nice.

Yes, they might prefer to be a Chris.

Leo!

Kit is probably my fave but if your name is Cat, is advise against it.

So in that case I'd go for Leo

Seth or kit both will be a cool kid :)

DramaAlpaca · 07/11/2016 23:40

My favourite is Leo.

Kit is fine as a nickname for Christopher.

I don't like Seth, I find it lispy and slithery for some reason Confused

Seth

petitdonkey · 08/11/2016 09:16

Love Seth but, in the area I live, it would be pronounced Seff by so many people that I thought it would drive me nuts!

Kit is lovely but very 'now'.
Leo is classic and timeless so would get my vote.

Onenerfwarfrombreakdown · 08/11/2016 09:24

Leo definitely!

Kit is ok but very "trendy" due to GoT, I would say round here anyway more likely to have other Kits in his class than Leo's!

Seth, don't like. Makes me think of serial killers. Don't know why. Must google that, find out if there's an actual link I've read at some point for that association to always pop up in my mind!

Don't like Kit at all but love both Seth and Leo. Probably Seth if I had to pick - don't think it's nerdy at all

Nospringflower · 08/11/2016 17:09

Leo.

Like Kit as a nickname but not as real name.
