Totally hypothetical but would it be weird to call our child Charis (adore, adore, adore!) if my name is Harriet and DH's name is Chris?? Sounds a bit to similar to Chris right? :-/

Isn't it slang for cannabis? I'm sure I've heard it called that, might be worth checking although perhaps you won't be frequenting circles that discuss drugs!

Carys looks much prettier.

Yes it does sound like we've combined our names. But is that weird though?

It looks a bit unimaginitive maybe. Owh!! I also really like the name Kristen... Will have to find a new husband

I know someone with this name and it's pronounced Karis if that helps.

Sounds like you have combined your two names - sorry!

I know a Charis and it's a lovely name, personally prefer the Carys spelling though.

Carys as far as I know - I've been doing some research this morning and it seems most people called Charis pronounce it Carys, apparently it's Greek. Nameberry says it's pronounced Har-EES but I don't like that.
