Getting to Chris...

[name_m]How[/name_m] would you go about honoring a [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] in your family without using a [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] or [name_m]Christian[/name_m]? What names could you squeeze out the nn [name_u]Chris[/name_u]/[name_u]Kris[/name_u]?

[name_m]Crispin[/name_m] comes to mind!

[name_m]Kester[/name_m] is an old English nickname for [name_m]Christopher[/name_m], so it could serve as a way to honor a [name_m]Christopher[/name_m], though I don’t think it would be easy to get the nickname [name_u]Chris[/name_u] out of it.

[name_m]Christos[/name_m]
[name_u]Kristan[/name_u]
[name_m]Crispian[/name_m]
?

I can’t help because [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] and [name_m]Christian[/name_m] seem to be the only alternatives, I think [name_m]Christian[/name_m] is a handsome name so I would choose that name.
