I've always been a big supporter of classic names, but I also enjoy many names that are a bit more unique. The solution? Classic names, with quirky nicknames!
My own name is Caroline, but I go by Carly. I've never met another Carly whose full name is Caroline, but I still love that I have both a classy full name and a cute nickname.
- Kit
Origin:
English, diminutive of ChristopherMeaning:
"bearer of Christ"Description:
Actor Kit Harington, aka the dreamy Jon Snow on Game of Thrones, has given this nickname-name new style and appeal for boys. Actress Jodie Foster used it for her son.
- Kitty
Origin:
English, diminutive of KatherineMeaning:
"pure"Description:
This endearing nickname name is one Katherine pet form that predates all the Kathys and Katies, having been fairly common in the eighteenth century. With the current mini-craze for animal-related names, Kitty is sounding cute and cuddly again—she's already jumped back onto the U.K. list, at number 199.
