Keith?

[MimiSunshine]

Is there an alternative/ shortening for Keith?

My DP is keen to use it to honour a family member of his but I really don’t like it. He’s happy to go with a variation i.e. Jonnie instead of Jonathan or Cate instead of Catherine but that just doesn’t seem to exist for Keith.

At a push he might go for a different name but same meaning.

I can’t have a baby Keith (just FYI he’s not insisting on it)

he'd probably be the only one in his class.
Every name thread I go on, I look out for reactions from @MikeUniformMike...and I'm never disappointed 😂😂😂 love it

Please not keith. Or graham or malcolm

Is your baby going to try and sell me meat out the back of a van? If so he could be a Keith.

Heath is a good shout. I know a Keith who goes by Kai (because he hates Keith so much).

I got chatting to a guy on a night out once - Very friendly, attractive, great bod and a fireman 😍 I thought my dreams had come true... Then he said his name was Keith. I laughed in his face, because I thought he was joking. Was nice knowing him for that short time 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

My dad is called Keith and there is no finer man on earth than my lovely Dad

I like it!
A few years ago no one would have dared called their kids Albert or Edith, now you can’t move for them. I much prefer Keith to those and it is probably due a comeback.

I've had such a shit day and this just made me laugh out loud so thank you; a baby called Keith....haha. As funny as it is please do not :)

he'd probably be the only one in his class.

Me too

Middle name (if that)

I really like it and I also love Laith.

Keith is just not as bad as Barry, Trevor, Malcolm - all awful

There is a Malcolm and also a Travis in my DC’s school. I couldn’t believe it when their names were read out in assembly, I internally sniggered a bit.

Christopher Keith is actually OK, to be known as Kit?

This thread was 4 years ago. I'm sure she made a decision by now!

I like Keith. Go for it.

That's because Keith is timeless...!

No, it really does not!!

@MimiSunshine

middle name at a real push!

I understand wanting to honour someone, but it's not fair on the child, when the name is dreadful. And Keith is dreadful.

I've never understood the hate for Keith - it doesn't sound like a Brian, Nigel or Derek name to me. As well as the negative connotations, they sound horrible but Keith sounds quite gentle.

Argh.

I would love to know if she went with baby Keith. He’d definitely be the only one starting reception in September. 😁

I actually quite like Keith use it as a middle name? Another one would be Ki or Ky?

Ffs I’ve just read all the way through it.
Why/how do posters keep resurrecting old threads?

ZOMBIE THREAD

🧟‍♂️🧟🧟‍♀️

It’s a really lovely sounding name, just very dated in terms of fashionability
