Which do you like best, why not the other three if any reason? Struggling so much, took a long time to get the list this short!

Kit
Ace
Jet
Leo

Thank you x

Favourite is Leo, I wish I'd thought of it at the time.

I also like Kit - it's usually a diminutive of Christopher, but that's too long a name for me.

I don't like Ace. An alternative might be Abe?

Jett needs to be spelled like that, Jet looks unfinished.

I sympathise, I also like (and chose) short boys' names - but a bit longer than those. My absolute limit was five letters and two syllables Grin

sorry i dont like any of them.
they dont sound like proper names to me, more like brands of products, or names of dogs.
why must they be so short.
do you do cake decorating ?

  1. Kit
  2. Jet
  3. Leo - would be higher but I've heard it so much (not in uk)
  4. Ace - just think of tennis - but could be cool as a nn

Leo is perfect! Strong and traditional, but cool. Travels really well too.

The others feel really trendy to me, and I’d worry they’d date like Tracy or Kevin have.

LOVE both Kit and Leo 🥰

Aquamarine1029 · 21/03/2020 18:07

Prefer Asa over Ace as a given name, and Asa can have Ace as a nn. I know a Jett and he's lovely, so love the name, but 2 t's, definitely.

Leo is ok, quite common, and I really dislike Kit.

Leo because I think the others will sound dated in the future. Leo will never date and will always be a good name. An alternative is Leon

Emelene · 21/03/2020 20:01

Kit or Leo, but I prefer Kit. Gorgeous name.

MikeUniformMike · 21/03/2020 20:55

Kit - a Rooney name, very popular
Ace
Jet
Leo - my favourite other than it is very popular

I would use Asa on bc and nn Ace in daily life.

Try the names with the surname.

Staffori · 21/03/2020 21:24

Kit by a mile. Leo is OK but very common nowadays. Ace and Jet are for dogs or cats.

Jossina · 21/03/2020 22:19

Kit as a nn for something else is nice. Leo same. Ace is the name of a dog or a nn, as is Jet.

  1. Leo
  2. Kit
