We've just found out we are having a boy Smile!

We have narrowed it down to one of these three names, (we have been through sooooo many names and these are the only three we can agree on, so it probably isn't worth asking for any more suggestions ATM);

Vincent
Christopher (Kit at home, until he's old enough to choose a nickname/ shortening)
Peter

Middle name will be Wilfred, Alfred or Albert. Surname is a common, two syllable name.

We already have a DD, named Emma.

Kit is a long-established, well known shortening for Christopher. Kitty is sometimes short for Catherine too. It might not seem natural, but it is a traditional shortening.

I love Vincent plus 'Vinnie' is such a cool NN! I think Christopher is OK but I love the NN Kit (like the actor Kit Harrington) and I just don't like Peter

Yes, Kit Harrington, (full name Christopher Catesby Harrington), is a cool namesake I think.

Love Kit but Christopher is a bit blah.
Vincent is a cool name & I love the shortening of Vinnie or Vin.
Peter? No.

Christopher

Peter makes me think of baby P Sad

Christopher (Kit) and Emma is lovely, as is Peter and Emma. Not keen on Vincent.

Peter is lovely for a little boy (Peter Rabbit etc.) also good on a grown man. Christopher is OK, but I'm not sure it's time for it to come back yet. Really, really don't see the appeal of Vincent. It was meh the first time round.

Peter!

Aww would be interested to know what you picked, I bet whatever suits him perfectly now he's here x

How about Kristopher and call him Kit or Kristian?

Winchester13 · 03/04/2018 01:25

O sorry ! This is very old! Hope you and your baby are doing well! :)

Peter is my favourite, I like Vincent, but dislike Christopher/Kit.
