We can't forget Katherine 'Miss Kitty' Russell from the old TV western 'Gunsmoke'. I think they might also call her Kit for short every once in a while, but I can't remember if I've seen those episodes if they did. I could be wrong.

It's fine, though I personally don't love it. It just feels a little plain and juvenile, though I can tolerate it as a nickname.

My name is Christina and, while growing up, my mom called me Chrissy, which I hated. Now that I'm an adult, I go by Kit. It's much less dated than Chris/Christy/Tina, etc. And I figure if Christopher can be shortened to Kit, why can't Christina? It's a great name for either gender. Just lovely all around!

I love it - as a nickname for Christopher, but especially as a stand-alone name meaning “fox cub” - how cute is that? Short, sweet and spunky. I fell in love with it when I read Frost Hallow Hall by Emma Carrol, in which a main character (a very attractive ghost) is called Kit. A great name for a boy, and I am also partial to it for a girl.

As a nickname Kit is nice and cute on both genders. As a first name it's a bit too simple for me, though.

I actually took this name as my preferred name after I came out as nonbinary! I love it - I picked Kit because my username since I was 8 has been Kit_nine, based on my cat, who was the cat we fostered, and the Warriors series, which called kittens kits! Everyone online calls me Kit because of my username, and I liked that better than my birthname, so I went with Kit!

Kit is a very cute name but I like it more for a girl! It’s very soft and feminine! Reminds me of kittens. I can vaguely picture Kit on a boy, but I still like it better for a girl.

Kit works as a male name though I think most people think of a female when they hear it. I've known a couple of Kit's and they've both been fun loving, if a bit sophisticated people. I have a very close male friend named Kit, I would call him childlike and sweet, yet still in a masculine way.

Not really a good nickname for boys. Even though Chris is way too common, it sounds better than Kit. I'd still much prefer Topher for any boy named Christopher.

Kit is a nickname for Kathrine or Christopher. It was also popular in the late 1800's and again in the 1940's as a name in it's own right. (The popularity of western themed radio and television programs led to this)
My son's name is Kit. A few people dislike it but mostly I get wonderful feedback. It is an old fashioned yet oft unused name. Too me, it evokes a feeling of youth and adventure.

This always makes me think of the "Dragonlance Chronicles" character, Kitiara, who was often refered to as Kit. Kitiara Uth Matar was interesting character, but she was the character you loved to hate because of her betrayal to her friends.
