Kit

[samanthajonespr]

I love Christopher for my baby boy (my dad's name), but he would be known as Kit. He could choose the version of his name that he prefers when he's older.

Husband not sold on it but I honestly can't think of any other names that I want to use. 13 weeks to go but still no shortlist

We already have a Harry

I love Kit, I would have used it but it doesn't go with our surname.

I know a Kit. I thought it was a great nickname for Christopher. I’m so sad that DH has Veto christopher for us in the future

I wanted to call my last son Kit. (not christopher though just Kit)

Still one of my favourite names but we changed our mind as it didn't quite fit with the other DC names.

See my username, it's a fab name! Mine isn't a Christopher

DD would have been a Kit if she had turned out to be a DS. I'll be using it if we have a DS in the future. BIL is a Christopher but I like Kit as it is so will probably just register with that.

I love Kit but was vetoed by DH. I wasn't going to use Christopher as a full name, just Kit ☺

It is fine. Probably very popular, but as you have a Harry ...
Go for it.
Christopher is a classic and gives the option of Chris too.

Love it.

I like it but I know loads born in the last 2-3 years!

I'm glad people like it, it really is my favourite boys name. We named our Harry and then realised just how popular it is afterwards!

I'm not sure what middle name would go with it either, which is why husband is unsure. I think he doesn't want to set it in stone yet.

I have a Kit (short for Christopher). People always say they like it. I love it. DH wasn't keen and preferred Dylan. After the birth he said I could have whatever name I wanted! Go for it.

His middle name is Albert (family name). I would have chosen Ewan but was overruled as I'd had my first name choice.

I have heard of lots of little Kits recently.

As long as your surname isn't Carr...

Great choice if Christopher is on BC just so he has more choice if he wishes...

Kit as in sports kit?

It's ok but I prefer Chris as nickname for Christopher or Christoph.

Love it

Would never have linked Kit to Christopher.
It’s a bit of a stretch imo

Whoops74 it's a very old, well-established nickname for Christopher. Kit Marlowe was doing it in the 16th century.

I actually like it but had to put in a message cos we have a family friend Kit age 12 who has refused to answer to Kit for the past two years, he now wants to be Christopher which is fortunately on his birth certificate. He says it’s a baby nn and I guess I see his point. I think it’s always safer to put the full name on just in case...

I’d also say just be aware it’s an on-trend name atm, if you don’t like Harry for that reason don’t go for Kit

My DD is Kit - Katherine nn Kit by her school friends!

Cute as a button

I've always liked it, even before Kit Harrington😀
