Movies made in the 30's seemed to use cross-gender names often...women were called "Sidonie" - probably posher than "Sydney" or "Sidney" but pronounced the same - men tended to be called "Kit". Now I don't know about you, girls, but when my knight on a white charger comes to carry me away from my humdrum life I don't want him to be called "Kit"! But I used to have an Aunt Kitty.
My mother's maiden name was Mavis Davis........
Cheers
JennieG who was named for a movie star (Jennifer) and my mother's cousin (Grace)
