Kit's name was always gonna be Kit, though at the start of the comic Brian suggested I change it to Penny to go with the title "Penny Dreadful". I didn't want to, because I liked Kit a LOT more than Penny...

However, as the comic went along I thought it would be funny if she had a really normal sounding name, or a name that didn't suit her, and she called herself "Kit" instead. Up until recently her name was going to be "Mary" but I remembered Brian suggesting Penny/Penelope so that's what I went with.

Having her be named "Mary Kit" reminded me too much "Mary Kate" and I didn't want anyone to think she was a reference to one of the Olsen Twins...

Also I liked that both her and Poe's named started with a P.
