Kit

[star1459]

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

Don't love it but don't hate it either. Its good to have different names though and I have never met a Kit!

I love it!

I know one who is just Kit. The Rooneys have on who AFAIK is just Kit.
I'm not keen on the name.

I like it. We had it on our list for DS, short for Christopher. But DH didn't like the Kit shortening and neither of us liked Chris, so we discounted it. I do like Christian too.

Kit on its own is a bit Rooney for some reason. I only like it short for something.

I like it as a name in itself, it doesn’t need to be short for anything.

Love Kit just on its own!

I like the name , it's unusual but don't use if your surname's Kat

I like it and wouldn’t use a longer name if there isn’t one you really like.

I’m generally opposed to diminutives used as a given name but I think this one works, and is it’s a lovely name - it manages to sound both modern and have a ‘Swallows and Amazons’ wholesome retro vibe to it as well.

If it were me my only reservation is I tend to riff on names to create nicknames (I have a Josh who I always call Joshy) so I would always be at risk of calling them Kitty

I LOVE Kit. One of my favourite names by a mile
I think Kit stands as a name in its own right and I'd put that on the birth certificate if thats what you're going to call him day to day anyway

Was just talking about this name.
Lovely name by itself. Also:
Keith
Keaton
Kittrick

Hth

I know a female Kit

Love the name Kit

It works well as a stand alone name. I'm not keen on Christopher at all it sounds very different if you put it on the BC he may well end up as Chris.

I love it too. I think as it's not the automatic shortening of Christopher/Christian you should just have Kit or one of the names suggested above on the birth certificate.

I really dislike it. It's twee and weak sounding. Bit like Tim of 2020

Yes, Kester - love that name.

I know a lovely midwife called Kit and a cute little boy too. Works for men and women old and young!

Has strong Elizabethan/Shakespearean vibe for me. Historic. Strong.

I know a Kit he's in his 20's, I think that's just his name as I asked him ages ago what it was short for and he said that's his name

Love it!

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

Actually I’m really annoyed I didn’t do that!!! 🤬🤣

Lovely name

My eldest son is called Kit
Not short for Christopher just Kit

It really suits him and he loves it

Great name and works for a child or an adult

Love it and think there is no need to use a longer version if you don’t want to!
