Due DS3 in a few weeks and can't decide on his name!

Please could I have opinions/favourites from the list below?

Kit (has been the front runner for the last 4 months but now I'm wavering)
Brodie
Bodhi
Art
Reid

Suggestions also welcome!

Reid is my favourite but if Kit is your favourite go with your gut :)

TheReigningLorelai · 07/04/2022 20:12

Thanks - I think it's still my favourite but I seem to have entered the indecisive period of pregnancy!

Ignore spelling error it's been a long day.x

You have a forerunner and a relatively short list..

You’re so close now, I think best thing to do is wait til you meet him. One name will just jump out to you I’m sure.

WalkingOnSonshine · 07/04/2022 20:25

Really like Kit, what are your other boys’ names?

AhhWoof · 07/04/2022 20:27

Love Kit. Not fond of the others.

Kanaloa · 07/04/2022 20:28

I like Kit although I prefer it to be Christopher called Kit for short. Brodie is ok. I really don’t like Art, Bodhi, or Reid.

IggyAce · 07/04/2022 20:31

My DS is Chase, and if I’d had another DS I’d be torn by Kit or Reid from your list.

TheReigningLorelai · 07/04/2022 20:34

Thanks all!

It'll definitely not be Christopher, I prefer Kit as a stand-alone name and it 'fits' better with DS1 and DS2.

Will likely change my mind 30 times in the next few weeks and make a decision when he arrives.

I actually like Kit the best out of these names! Don't waver!

Howmanydaysuntilfriday · 07/04/2022 20:36

Would children calling him 'football kit' or 'P.E kit' or 'Kit Kat'? Just putting this out there

darlingdodo · 07/04/2022 20:37

Kit by a long way.

saritapdot · 07/04/2022 20:38

Brodie to me sounds like broody, Bodhi sounds Indian (nothing wrong with that obv), Art is okay I guess but a bit weird as a standalone name (and lots and lots of Arthur's around these days), Reid everyone would constantly misspell.

Lemonlemon88 · 07/04/2022 20:39

Kit or Reid are both great names!

I mean there's always going to be a nickname isn't there...🤷🏼‍♀️

Bodhi

blitzen · 07/04/2022 20:56

Kit

Mumofgirls2017 · 07/04/2022 21:46

DEFINITELY Kit!

AuntieStella · 07/04/2022 21:48

I think Kit is by far and away nicest of your shortlist

Rainbowbaby13 · 07/04/2022 21:50

I've always loved Brodie but Kit is a very close second

RiverRats · 07/04/2022 21:52

Reid is my favourite, I’ve never really liked the name Kit

peaceinourtime · 08/04/2022 00:16

Kit is nice. Brodie- Brady is nicer i think of the two. Bodhi is dreadful I don't get its appeal also there are lots of body and well being centres with Bodhi in their name

Knightbuss · 08/04/2022 10:09

Art is great! Kit is definitely having a moment but it is a nice name. Reid is also nice and I’ve never met one but it feels traditional.

KirstenBlest · 08/04/2022 15:10

Kit (has been the front runner for the last 4 months but now I'm wavering) - was ok until the Rooneys used it
Brodie - the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Ghastly book
Bodhi - just no
Art - rhymes with...
Reid - Reedy. No
