Kermit was a Top 500 name until the 1960s, not coincidentally the decade in which Kermit the Frog made it a one-person (well, one-frog) name.
 
Derived from the Irish surname Mac Diamada, itself from the given name Diarmaid or Dermot, Kermit is a Manx form, meaning "without injunction" or "without envy".
 
 Historically, Kermit is known via Kermit Roosevelt, soldier and explorer son of President Theodore Roosevelt, while more recent bearers have been pilot and aviation enthusiast Kermit Weeks, basketball player Kermit Washington, and soccer player Kermit Erasmus.
 
Still, in the US, is it very much the frog's name and only used on a tiny handful of boys each year. But could it be revived? Fellow Sesame Street name Grover has seen a increased use in the US, while over in the UK, other once children's TV character names Ernie and Barney are being reconsidered.
 
Could Kermit 'Kit' sell the name? Time will tell, but for now, there is similar Kurtis and Irish Dermot.
