Nicknames for Christopher?

Boy Names

I love the name [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] but can’t find any great nicknames to go with it

[name_m]Chris[/name_m]- I like this one, but it feels so common and not perfectly right on a child
Christy/Chrissy- too feminine
Topher/Toph- I hate these nicknames; they remind me of old tortoises!
[name_m]Kit[/name_m]: too simple and feminine
I also don’t like Christo/Christ as nicknames (or something like Kat/Cat)
Any suggestions? Nothing too out there, but can be a bit stretchy, as long as it makes sense!

[name_m]Kitto[/name_m], maybe?

[name_m]Cap[/name_m]? [name_m]Cap[/name_m] makes sense because of the ‘p’. [name_m]Kip[/name_m]? I also really like [name_m]Cab[/name_m] & [name_m]Cal[/name_m] if those aren’t too stretchy. [name_m]Cas[/name_m] or [name_m]Cash[/name_m] maybe?

Risto is a Finnish diminutive of Christopher that I’ve been liking lately!

[name_m]Kester[/name_m] is an [name_f]English[/name_f] nickname for [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] :slight_smile:

I like the suggestions of [name_m]Kitto[/name_m], [name_m]Cap[/name_m] and [name_m]Kip[/name_m] suggestions by others.

A few more ideas:

[name_m]Captain[/name_m]
[name_m]Crosby[/name_m] / Crosbi / [name_m]Crosbie[/name_m]
[name_m]Richie[/name_m]
[name_m]Ricky[/name_m]
[name_m]Tor[/name_m] / [name_m]Thor[/name_m]

[name_m]Chris[/name_m] is the most intuitive and I know a baby [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] that goes by [name_m]Chris[/name_m] and it’s super cute on him. Anything could work though really.

What’s the middle? CJ, CK, CT, etc are all also cute nicknames
