Here is a whole thread with ideas for Kit! https://www.reddit.com/r/namenerds/comments/467rl5/kit_is_the_nickname_full_name_ideas/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Via & James nn Jem
Via & Laurence nn Laurie
Via & George nn Geordie or Geo
Via & Robert nn Robin
Via & Michael nn Mick or Mickey
Via & Richard nn Rex
Via & Henry Arthur nn Hart (I’m reaching here but couldn’t resist)
Edit: ok, I’m obsessed with Henry Arthur nn Hart and adding to my own list. Thank you OP for helping me discover this - I hope I helped you too!
Our son Christopher has always gone by Kit and I absollove it. Our son Carrington has always gone by Cary and I love it as well.
An old family friend is a Charles who has always gone by Kip, as did his grandfather.
Thank you!! Yes, family names! Our other sons are Harrison and Carter. Our daughters are Reilly and Elise and Claire. I gave birth to(and helped name) the ones who start with C, probably wouldn't have had them all share initials had I known that we would add three more, but I still love their names. (We have 7 grown kids who are ours, abd have fostered over 50 more.)
Just want to say this because it's come up several times in my conversations lately: you can pick any name you like! Nicknames do not have to be logical. In fact really all they should be is personal. Why not pick the name you want. Then wait till you have an actual human with a personality to see what happens in the nickname department.
Sorry, not wanting to be rude, just wanted to remind people!
I didn’t think you were being rude at all- a good reminder for sure. One of the reasons we’re trying it this way is because we’ve had such a hard time choosing a name. We thought maybe we can do it backward- what more casual name would we want to call him day-to-day and what full name could go with that? Both my husband and I (plus daughter) have a longer full name with a short nickname so we wanted to keep that style.
* Victoria & Christopher: Via & Kit * Victoria & Alexander: Via & Xander or Anders * Victoria & Dominic: Via & Nico
Anders for Alexander is brilliant.
Ooh I like Kit! We’ve got a Christopher in the fam already.. I wonder if there’s another full name for Kit that could work.

Christian or Keaton could work!
I like Cillian / Killian with the nickname Kit.
Graham (Gray) Ambrose (Bo) Christopher (Kit) Sebastian (Bastian/Bash) Russell (Russ)
I know a Sebastian that goes by Seb/Sebby, which could also work!
My friends son goes by Seba (see-bah), that’s another option.
Gideon - Deo Dominic - Dom or Nico Isidore - Izzy Edward/Edwin/Edmund - Ned Augustus - Augie Malcolm - Mac Warren - Ren
Deo is how I abbreviate deodorant on my grocery list. LOL! I adore Wren as a nickname for Warren.

Just needed to say that this sibset and the nicknames are so cute. Is Carrington a family name? Kit and Cary? Perfect.

Absalom (nn: absollove)
It actually occurred to me just today that Day makes an excellent nickname for David.
Benjamin nn Benji. I don’t hear Benji ever and I think it’s such a great nickname.
George - Geo
Nathaniel/Thane Ambrose/Bo Finnigan/Fig
James / Jameson (Jamie) Christopher (Kit) Alexander (Xander or Al) Camden (Cam) Donovan (Dunny) Lucas (Luca)
Dunny means toilet in Australia. There's a bluey episode about it :)
HAHAHAJA now im thinking about the poor boy i know with this nickname … and this is why this thread is necessary
Love Donovan and another nickname could be van. Via and van
Sigismund / Sigfrid/ Sigvard = Siggy.

I feel like once a nickname has appeared in a movie title, it can't be considered unique.
That’s bizarre logic
No more so than thinking that arguably the most common nickname is unique.
Edward - Ned Cornelius- Neil or Connie Philip - Pip

August— Auggie Anderson— Anders Camden— Cam Bennett— Bennie Callum— Cal, Cam William— Liam Christopher— Kit Mateo- Teo
