Is the name 'Christopher' a bit too old-fashioned and Boomer-ish? Generally I like 'classic' names but I guess that some can be a bit much...

I love it. 🥰

Yes, it IS dated to the 1970s and there are a lot of Christophers/Chrises around, but a young Chris would be quite unusual.

I'm in my 60s and there was one in every class at school. I think it's fairly timeless.

Know some born in the 90s as well

I quite like it - I like Christy as a nn over Kit and Topher which are try hard (and Chris, who is a mechanic aged 55)

Isn't Christy a girls nickname?

Christy is a girls name to me. It’s short for Christine, Christina etc

As long as you accept they will be known as Chris with friends.
