Kit

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.

My name is Kit, short for Kristen.

I have a good friend named Kit but his real name is Christian.
