Boys name similar to Kit?

62 replies

Namehelpplease1985 · 14/01/2019 21:02

Baby boy is due is a week and still has no name.

I love Kit, but I don't want Christopher or Christian and not sure that it works as a standalone name? I also like Gus, but having similar issues with not liking long versions so much

We both wanted Ezra the whole pregnancy but we've gone off it now.

We've got 2 girls already with 'old style' names so don't want anything too out there.

Any ideas?

Have your girls got shortened names.

Someone I know of wanted kit but it was too popular now so went for Kipling (they're literarily minded so that worked well!)

I like Jed! We're West Wing fans so would work work well.

Kipling is lovely, but I don't think I could sell it to Dh.

Both DDs have 2 syllable names. DD1 could be shortened but we don't tend to.

sorry if this isn't the line of thought you were aiming for but kit is a very common indie name (hippy earthy etc.)

You can definitely use Kit and Gus as stand alone names. Really like both.
