Kit but only as a nickname for Christopher

Rafferty - love the full name, but I would use full name occasionally, bc what's the point of full name if it's never used?
If you never want to use full name, don't bother with full name.

They are all good names!

I voted for Finn.

Moreteaandchocolate · 27/09/2025 19:24

Finn or Archie are my favourites 😊

Yup, me too. Its a great nn but its not a name.

Rafferty or Christopher (nn Kit).

Steph888 · 27/09/2025 20:58

I wouldn’t call a child Finn or Rafferty unless you’re Irish.

I don’t like Kit.

Archie is nice.

Kit as a nickname for Christopher. I also really like Raffy but personally prefer Raphael.

PurpleChrayn · 28/09/2025 07:11

They’re all a bit tryhard, to be honest.

Kit - Rooney
Raffi / Rafferty - awful
Archie - past its best
Finn - Finley far too popular

The only one I vaguely like is Finn.

BoleynMemories13 · 28/09/2025 19:14

Kit and Finn are lovely. The other two aren't for me at all.

Out of those two, I much prefer Finn as a stand alone name. Kit is great, but only as a nickname for Christopher. Whereas Finn works as a name in it's own right (and I prefer it to Finley).

Kit as in “take your kit off”? I dont like it

Rafferty is the best from your list

Silverbirchleaf · 01/10/2025 06:32

Kit, as nn for Christopher
Rafferty, with nn Raffi
Archie, as nn for Archibald
Finn, as nn for Finley. Also consider Flynn?
