Opinions on the name Christopher

[lilballofanxiety]

I'm currently thinking about baby names and I was wondering what your honest opinions about the name Christopher are. Thanks

I used to babysit for a Christopher who was nicknamed Tiffa/Tiff

I worked with an old guy called Tiff. I could not think for the life of me what it was short for. And nobody else seemed to know either!!!

I hear Christie used in Ireland but maybe would seem too feminine? Although Kit seems more feminine to me.

I love it.

Love it. Classic but not over used like Henry for example.

Tiff can be short for Timothy.

I quite like Christopher, love
Kit. Prefer Christian though.

That was actually going to be what I called my son but then I met and married a christopher and he would defo hate topher

Not keen. It’s a bit wet. I like Christian though.

I like it

I love it, I have a two year old Christopher and I've not met another.

Great name. Easy to say and to shorten.

I like it too and am married to one. Love Kit as a nickname.

I love it.

Christopher Matthew is one of my all- time favourite names.

@ARandomPoster Those are DS1 and 2’s names - you have great taste.😄

I like it. I'm not one for yoo-neek or overly trendy, American-sounding names so things like Christopher are right up my street.

I often call him KIssifur after the bear cartoon.

I don’t like it sorry. It gets shortened to Chris which is too girly. It’s in the same league as Lesley.
I just don’t like unisex names.

The Christopher I knew best was a shining example of the name, and I wept buckets when he left us.

A classic. Never met a bad Christoper.

I love Christopher but don’t like Chris or Kit.

Despite loving most 'classic' boys names, Christopher is a bit of a boring, 'wet' name. Most of the people I know called 'Chris' are just that, a bit boring and wet.

Sorry

It’s my fathers name. I love it. But no one but his mother has ever called him by it. To everyone it is Chris. And she is sadly now very long gone so it’s been years since I heard him called that.

And oh...my dad is a brilliant Christopher. The best of men.

My boy is Christopher. Also known as chriffer after his sisters attempts to say his name 😁

@BabiaMajora we both have great taste
I also love the name Thomas Alexander.
