The only one I've met was of Egyptian extraction, so I always thought it was an Egyptian thing.
Also thought Kit was either short for Christmas or given to a Xmas baby.
100% with @fatberg on shortened names. Although Mrs H said it was retarded if you're never going to use the full version, and just me being old fashioned... which is hard to argue against.
In fairness it was my word. I totally accept its not nice to call people retarded, but it seems a reasonable choice for the backwards and old fashioned notion of wanting to use a long version of a name when you'll never use it.
