I prefer this name as a nickname for Christopher. Therefore, I don’t personally like it as a feminine name.

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.

This is a girl's name in my book. It's a nice, sweet, short, spunky name but I don't have the courage to ever use it. Kit: Kit-kat. Kitty. Kitten. Kitchen.
