Kit Pearson: Hello. My name is Kit Pearson. I was named Kathleen after my mother, but she was always called Kay, and I was always called Kit. I like having an unusual name. I've only met two other Kits in my whole life. In England, Kit is a boy's name, short for Christopher, and there have been a few times when I've had letters addressed to Mr. Kit Pearson. Some people in my family call me Kitten, which I don't mind. The only nickname I can't bear is Kitty.
