Kit as a Girls name?

[mondayGinaB]

how do you feel about Kit as a first name for a girl? I know it’s considered unisex but i’d love to know y’all’s thoughts on it!

As a nn for Kitty?

Not keen.

You could use it as a shortening of Catherine/Katherine I suppose, as some people use Kitty.

I'm not a fan of it as a stand alone name for either sex to be honest.

I know 2 Catharines who are called Kit as a nickname. Definitely good for girls. Actually I haven’t heard it for any boys.

Love the name Kit which is a nickname for Catherine.

I love it

I know a Kit but it’s short for Christopher, I’ve not heard it as a girl’s name.

Are you in the US? I don’t think Kit is considered unisex. I prefer Kitty for a girl. And only as a nickname for Catherine. I don’t like Kit as a given name for a boy or a girl.

I've never known Kit as a girls name. If short for Katherine, I prefer Kate/Katy.

I know only one and she works for the trade union 🙂

I had a great aunt Kit whom would have been born at the end of the 1890s so it definitely works as a girls name. I'm pretty sure it was a nickname/shortening rather than her actual name though.

My dd's best friend was called Kit. The nicest girl you could ever meet. Great name

I like it

Kitty in pride and prejudice

Always liked it since then cute girly name

I had an Auntie Kit and tbh I never knew what her 'real name' was, she was just Auntie Kit, think I should do some family research now to find out what it was short for. Also had an Auntie Lou, guess there's a few names that was short for. I did have an Auntie Rose, her name was Rosina. Sorry OP rambling a bit but Kit bought back memories 😁

When I was little my friend's mum was called Kitty Fitten - just thought her name was great. (But I used to think Kitty was short for kitten.) 😬

I like it. You could say she's named after the badass character in A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Love it!

Boys name - sorry

Kit is the name of David Hasselhoffs nightrider car from the 1980's- which was presumably male! Not a little girls name and never heard is as unisex. Are you in the US, hence using the term y'alls???

Kit is the name of Julia Robert's best friend in Pretty Woman.

I love it

Not keen

And Kit was the name of the sister of geena davis' character in A League of Their Own. From 1992 if you remember that one

I’d use Katherine or Kristine or Krista with a K and call her Kit at home.
I’m sure she would prefer the options of Kathy, Katy , Kit/Kitty as an adult.
I’ve never known it as a girls full name. The only Kit I know personally is a boy named Christopher.

Is it unisex? I think of it as a boy's name. Diminutive of Christopher.
