Some pointed out the unfortunate acronym made by the Rooney children’s names…
Just saw that Wayne and Coleen Rooney had another baby and called him Kit. So that's Kai, Klay and Kit….KKK

While others made the obligatory connection between Kit’s name and his father’s profession…

Wayne Rooney's baby is obviously named after the first thing he saw in the changing room when someone asked him on the spot #kit
