Skip or Skipp?

[crumblebug]

Expecting a boy in Jan!

Really liking Skip, I think that spelling is preferableto Skipp, any opinions?

Older brother is Jem

Kit is a nickname version of Christopher. If you watch Game of Thrones then Jon Snow is played by an actor called Kit Harrington

No, these are all daft Teen Mom names.

Try to picture a fully grown adult with these names.

Fine for a puppy or a teddy bear, but your child will one day be a grown up.

Sorry, but I have to agree with this, please don't burden a child with the name Skip or Crew. Kai is OK but still not great tbh.

@Spedder

It’s a ridiculous name. I’d assume Skipp was a typo for either Skip or Skippy.

The bush Kangaroo.

Slightly comical the you've questioned Kit, which is a nn for Christopher, when you're other suggestions are Crew & Kai

Crew?!!!! That’s not a name.

Think if the poor guy all grown up and going for a job interview. Give him a proper name.

I really like Skip, and know an adult one. Kit is also good NN for Christopher.
Jem and Ash
Jem and Gabe
Jem and sonny
Jem and Lyle.
Jem and Skip
Jem and Chad.

Are you overseas by any chance?

Skip is probably fine if you're in the US but to a British ears it's like Chuck or Randy and doesn't sound "right"

So funny that you baulked at the name Kit, which is an actual name albeit a shortened version of Christoper, and then followed up with the suggestion of Kip. As in, a nap?

@17caterpillars1mouse

Skipper is Barbie's sister. The dolls are very popular amongst primary age girls so I wouldn't name a boy Skipper

Just what I was going to say.

Jem and

Gus (Angus)
Pip (Philip)
Kit (Christopher)
Rory
Zac
Fin
Beau

Or skipper makes me think of:

Hunter
Carter
Taylor
Riley

Thank you to those of you have been kind and respectful and suggested nice alternatives if my choices aren't to your taste

Kip as in sleep - no

Imagine being called Kip and having to read Biff, Chip and Kipper at school

Kip? Kip or Skip?
What about...
Finn
Noah
Cal
Lee
Luke?

Oceanic / seafaring type names -
Oshie
Endeavour
Nautilus
Triton
Nereus
Pontus
Horatio or Nelson
Chay
Columbus
Ferdinand
Francis or Drake
Poseidon
Neppo after Neptune 😊

I'm just mentally calling out my class register now...

James...yes Miss Dots
Elizabeth...morning Miss Dots
Ethan...yes Miss D
Jacob...here Miss
Amy...yes Miss Dots...can I go to the toilet?
Sarah...here Miss
Ted...yup!
Skip/Crew...🤦‍♀️

Please, new parents, just think about what you are gifting to your children when you name them!!

Skippy Bush kangaroo- really showing my age

Seaman?

If you do go for Skip or Skipper, please give him a conventional middle name he can choose to use when he's older.

Aye aye captain

No one can seriously think of calling a boy Seaman? Tell me it ain't so.

Phinn is a great option short for Phinneas

Ooh Kit yes. Kit's lovely 😍
And is derived from a proper name as PP mentioned.
Also like Nate.
Jem is a great name BTW.

Kip

‘Look a’ the kip o’ you!’

No.

Well it's bloody awful and honestly my first reaction is to think there really ought to be some kind of law against having children if you are going to call them ridiculous names like "Skip"

Bob - it has the marine theme going for it

Sorry OP, if you're serious that it, it's terrible, as are Kai and Crew. There are very many perfectly nice names to choose from.
