He seems to be talking about him all the time. Very proud dad.

Is it just a nickname or does it has a signification in English ?
As far as I know it is just short for Christopher.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
That's exactly right, Susi.
My colleague is the Scottish Kirsteen and all her family call her Kitty.
So I suppose the English equivalent should be Christine, but I believe it's common for Katherine's to be called 'Kitty'...which is why I always smile at Katherine Parkinson as Kitty in Sherlock!

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Well my nickname is Kitty... most of my friends call me that, and my name isn't Katherine or anything close to that... I think I just started to like my nickname a lot more!

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
I figured it was short for Christopher, but I had never heard it before. I guess they like it better than Chris, at least for now.
Clueing for looks.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Kit is the very traditional, English abbreviation.
Chris would be the more modern, usual version.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
I like that he went for traditional in a way, it's refreshing!

Ah, ok. Thank you for that clarification. I guess that makes sense, and I like that he chose a less common one, too.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
So Kit Harrington's name is Christopher?
I thought it was awesome as I love the name Kit (since two characters from one of my favorite comics are named Kit).

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Wait a minute... I just realised. Isn't he supposed to be doing pick-ups for Dr. Strange these days? And he already cut his hair? *confused*

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
This should probably be filed under "Let's talk about all things lovely about Tilda Swinton". I know it got some people's knickers in a twist, but I found it hilarious. I, literally, laughed out loud when I saw this.
