Christy/Christie for a boy?

This could be hormones talking as I'm only a few days from giving birth with no agreed boys names... Will everyone think it's a girl? I like something about it but I don't know what.

As short for Christopher or Christian it’s lovely- as for just Christy on its own as the registered name- no!

Yes I would assume a girl

It's Christy Moore that gave me the inspiration! Grin

Ok so not overly popular on here. I'll see what DH thinks.

A cousin of mine is Christopher but known to many as Christy. I wouldn’t use Christy as a full name.

I know a Christy, his full name is Christian. I wouldn’t choose the short version as a name personally.

I taught a boy called Christy, he was lovely.
You could always name him Christopher and use Christy as a short version.

I like it short for Christopher. I also think of Christie Moore!

DobieGrayshark · 22/09/2021 16:49

Although Christy Moore is cool. And he’s a man. It might work ok if you’re in Ireland maybe.

People will definitely assume its a girl.

LonelySock · 22/09/2021 16:41

Short for Christopher? Definitely. Christopher is a lovely name and if he doesn't like the nickname Christie, he can be Chris or Christopher.

MajorCarolDanvers · 22/09/2021 16:40

I think its a girls name.

Chris is nice.
