Jago,kitto or something else?

[Kernowwench]

Afternoon
baby 5 is a boy
i already have two boys and two girls all with Cornish names and now need one for him.
Any suggestions welcome
we like Jago or Kitto so far.
Thankyou so much .

I love Jago. Not keen on Kitto.

Jago is a nice name for a boy.

Jago, not Kitto

Jory (Cornish George) has always been my favourite Cornish boy's name. My husband is half Cornish so we may well still use it :)

Cato? I'm not sure Kitto is even a name?! Could you do Kit instead?

What about Cormoran?

i like Jago, Kitto sounds unfortunately to my non Cornish ear like you’re trying to say kitten and failing or a pet name for a cat

I don’t think a boy or grown man would thank you for calling him Kitto. Jago is fine.

Jago is a great name!

You'd really name your child after one of Shakespeare's most despicable villains? Yes, I know it's a different spelling, but still...

I know a Cornish Christopher who was Kitto as a child and teen and then Kit after leaving Cornwall for university. He now uses Kitto, Kit, and Christopher depending on the context. Kitto alone does somehow feel a bit more young, informal, unfinished than Jago to me (non-Cornish). Jago may also be more familiar outside Cornwall and internationally as it's also used in Spanish and German.

Jago is pronounced JAY-go though, not like Iago.

Mate, I'm Cornish - you can't call your DC Kitto, it sounds like a cat.

Tregarran? (Trig)
Trystan/Tristan?
Ruan?
Enyon?
Cador?

Trust me kitto isn’t my idea haha. His other suggestion was Kenwyn which I also hate! I think this thread proves my point!

Thank god for that.

I'm not really familiar with Cornish names & obviously don't know your other kids names or your surname, but independently, from thise listed so far I like Ruan best.

is there a Cornish version of Ruary? I'd probably really like that

I already have a Ruan it is fab!

Lowen, Cornish & means Joy

Thank God its not your idea!

Umm. Kenver? I'm not particularly keen on it but if he wants a K name it's a bit better than Kenwyn.

Caradoc
Conan
Arthur
Petroc
Piran
Stefan
Mathi

How about some place or river names?

Carnon
Valency
Cober
Tresillian
Lynher
Percuil
Perran (if you haven't already got a piran!)
Maybe not Austell or Camborne though, hey? ;)

I’m tempted to add Bodmin Trago and pasty in the mix just to wind him up a bit!

I'd love to know your other children's names. How is Ruan pronounced?

I like Kenwyn that sounds cool, kitto is a nice nn as a baby but agree would need Christopher as a full name.

Sennen is the only remotely cornish name I have heard.

Jago Ross is an awful character in the Cormoran Strike novels so puts me off but without that, its a nice name! Cormoran is also Cornish I think?

Do you mean Iago?

How are they in any way the same, in spelling or pronunciation….?

Jowan
Piran or Perran
Pasco
Sennen
Jory
Yestin (Cornish form of Justin)
Austell
Corentyn
Petroc
Costentyn
Jacca
Talan
Mawgan
Ryol
