Thoughts on the name on its own? Or better shortened from Christopher / Christian?

Not really keen on Christopher as know quite a few people named Chris

Kit as in kitten 🐈‍⬛
Kit bag 💼
Kitty cat 🐈
Kit Kat

I'm not keen on Kit as a name for either gender.

My late DM was universally known as Kit - it really suited her as she was a very glamorous and fashionable 50s/60s lady who wore Audrey Hepburn type scarves and sunglasses, capri pants or chic frocks. And smoked looong cigarettes.

As a nn great - but definitely not as a full name - it’s too nick namey, and also quite unisex.

Kester - a Scottish version of Christopher - is an alternative version. Very underused I think.

I know a Killian Thomas shortened to Kit. Very cool I think.

Don't put Christopher or Christian on the BC unless you like the name.

Kit is the name of one of the Rooney children.

@MonaLisaPiles aww glad to hear that! I was worried about it being abit too out there but it grows on me the more and more I say it!

Our last name is Spurr so just need to find a nice flowing middle name also now

I like it! I’d go for Christopher on his birth certificate and Kit as a NN 👌
