A brother for Kit

Boy Names
1

Posting for my sister. She is having a boy and is looking for a name to go with big brother [name_u]Kit[/name_u]. Here’s their current list. What other names do you think fit?

She and her husband both had very popular names growing up and prefer to stay as far outside the top 100 as possible. Their last name is @llison and unfortunately that eliminates a lot of names. Thanks for your help!

[name_u]Ira[/name_u]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_u]River[/name_u]
[name_u]Amos[/name_u]
[name_u]Forest[/name_u]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_m]Linus[/name_m]
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_u]Kit[/name_u] is adorable!

Here are my thoughts on the list-

Ira-I love it. I love how it sounds w/their ln. It’s kind of artsy & kind of quirky but simple & down to [name_f]Earth[/name_f] & not at all popular or in danger of becoming popular anytime soon. At least it doesn’t seem like it. [name_u]Kit[/name_u] & [name_u]Ira[/name_u] aren’t perfect, but they don’t not go.

Otto-I like this name in theory because it’s kind of spunky & unique. But I don’t like the way it looks or that it reminds me of autoimmune diseases! That may just be me…

Felix-This is cute w/Kit & goes okay w/the ln. It’s always sounded a little goofy to me though. It’s not popular, but I can see it rising the charts in the next few years.

River-Super handsome & chill sounding name. Nice w/Kit & the ln too. Getting more common though, for sure. I wouldn’t think it’s top ten bound, but top 100 likely.

Amos-I don’t love this w/the ln, but it’s a fun & interesting classic that sounds nice w/Kit.

Forest-I do like this spelling much more than [name_m]Forrest[/name_m]. Still too strongly associated w/Forrest Gump for me to get on board w/it, but it’s a nice enough name that fits okay w/Kit & the ln.

Simon-Cute & classic & great w/Kit. Not my favorite w/their ln, but not awful. I don’t see this getting terribly popular.

Wren-I don’t know. It’s kind of too feminine for boys & too masculine for girls in my opinion.

Linus-So cute! Maybe my favorite w/Kit & probably in general. Not my favorite w/the ln, but it’s not a deal breaker.

Dexter-That’s fun. I love the nn [name_m]Dex[/name_m]. This fits in well.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:
