[Opinions] Kit
Okay. A Katherine question. Usually, I prefer the nn Kate for Katherine names but lately I'm loving Kit. Only as a nn for Katherine, however.Wdyt of Kit? Your impressions of a girl named Kit? As a nn or full fn? Can it only be short for Katherine? I've heard of Katherines nn Kit, Katherins nn Kitty and a Catherine nn Kitty (Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice) Eh, I'm weird with Katherine and its varients. For now I like Kathleen nn Kate, or Katarina nn Kate. Catherine nn Cate or Katherine nn Kit...:P But back to the original question...wdyt Kit?Belle

I like Kit far better than Kate. Another similar nickname for Katherine is Ketty.I've always liked the nickname Kitty, probably because of the comic book character Katherine "Kitty" Pryde (who was named for a real person).

I like Kit (don't care for Kitty as much). I think it would suit any stage of life.

love Kit as a nn.Its a nice nn for Katherine and unlike Kitty can imagine it being used on an adult as well as a child. Like it a lot but only as a nn. and Kate is a great nn too.

My favourite nicknames for Katharine are Kitty, Kitsie, and Kathy, personally. I'd love to meet a Katharine nn Kit, though my favourite one-syllable Katharine nn is Kix. :DI really can't stand Kate. It's like, been there, done that, bored now. Same with Katie--it reminds me of my cousin, who is currently orange. (Despite the fact that getting there is utterly unsafe, she goes tanning one-plus times a week. She is gonna be so fried when she's 30.) ArrayETA: I, like Bear, also like Kit as a nn for Christopher--but I'm pretty sure he'd survive in my area. I also love Christopher nn Kip. :D

...And then he said, "You're independent, aren't you?"
"Yes," said Laura.A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

I think it's sweet. I also like Kat as a nn.I even like it as a (traditional) nn for Christopher, but I know a male Kit will never go over well in the US (where I live) anymore.

I honestly like the nn Kit. I think it could work as a full name, but if it were me, I'd want a full legit name to back it up. I love the nn Kitty, but I think I'm one of the only ones. If I ever name a daughter Katherine or Catherine, she'll definitely get the Kitty nn at least from me at home.

I love Kit. When people name their children they have to keep in mind that eventually they will grow up and a name may sound childish on an adult. Kit is absoloutley adorable and I can seean adult with that name. Love it!Please just don't name your child Kitty

Yeah, I agree with the adult name thing. There is an adult character on a show I watch, Home & Away (Aussie drama). She has spunk, real personality. Don't worry, I would NEVER name my child just Kitty. I probably wouldn't even use Kitty as a nn, unless she really wanted me too, lol.Thanks for your opinion.
