You guys were so helpful before when I was weighing the option between our 1st and 2nd place boy name combinations (either [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m] or [name_m]Fox[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m]) but I decided, since we have a long time between now and the due date in early Dec, I would open up my list for one or two more names. We added a family name, [name_m]Charles[/name_m] (nickname [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]) since both of our great grandfathers were named [name_m]Charles[/name_m], and then I found myself thinking about [name_u]Kit[/name_u]. One of our top girl name choices would have been [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] with the nickname of [name_u]Kit[/name_u], and I just can’t let go of how much I love [name_u]Kit[/name_u]. It seems refreshing and bright and adventurous. I know it’s a boy nickname as well, short for [name_m]Christopher[/name_m], but I’m not a huge fan of [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]. What would you think of [name_u]Kit[/name_u] as a standalone name?
Also, would you mind ranking my current top four boy names list?
Oh, and our daughter’s name is [name_f]Rose[/name_f], so the sibset would be:
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_m]Fox[/name_m]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_m]Charles[/name_m]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_u]Kit[/name_u]
Nickname version:
[name_f]Rosie[/name_f] and [name_u]Billy[/name_u]
[name_f]Rosie[/name_f] and [name_m]Fox[/name_m]
[name_f]Rosie[/name_f] and [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
[name_f]Rosie[/name_f] and [name_u]Kit[/name_u]
I just asked the same question a few days ago! and had quite a few helpful responses. We ended up using [name_u]Kit[/name_u] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] because of the meaning. I quite like [name_m]Fox[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] and [name_u]Kit[/name_u] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] as brothers!
@emersonwildwood Awesome, I’ll check out your thread! Thank you for the link and thanks for your input! Oh, and [name_u]Kit[/name_u] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] is a wonderful name - excellent choice!
My top choice is [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] with the nickname [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]. I like that both names have meaning because they’re family names, and I think [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] and [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] are so cute together.
I really like [name_u]Kit[/name_u] as a standalone name! Like you said, it’s a fun and adventurous-sounding name that would be adorable on a little boy and still very usable on an adult.
This is how I’d rate them:
I love [name_u]Kit[/name_u] as a full name, and think it works 100%. My favourite of your combos is [name_u]Kit[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m] followed by:
I love [name_u]Kit[/name_u] as a standalone name, and [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m] or [name_u]Kit[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m] is amazing.
Why not [name_m]Charles[/name_m] nn [name_u]Kit[/name_u]? One of my relatives was [name_m]Carlton[/name_m] nn [name_u]Kit[/name_u], so I think it could work for [name_m]Charles[/name_m] or really any C/K name.
[name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m] and [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m] are my favorites on your list.
Since a baby fox is called a kit, I think you could use [name_u]Kit[/name_u] as a nickname for both [name_m]Fox[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] and [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m]. I also agree that [name_u]Kit[/name_u] would work as a nickname for [name_m]Charles[/name_m]. Other options are any of the [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] variants, such as [name_m]Kristof[/name_m], [name_m]Christian[/name_m], etc.
Oh, and [name_u]Kit[/name_u] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] is a wonderful name - excellent choice!
