Anything but Christopher Robin...

Hey Ladies,
I need a bit of help. My DH is determined to name his future son Christopher Robin, but I can't do that to my child, so I'm wondering if you might know of any variations of this name? I'm more of

I always though Christopher Robin was a cute name (now if he wanted to name your son Winnie the Pooh I could see the objection LMAO!)
My DS' middle names are Christopher William and DH mentioned we should have used Christopher Robin after the birth certificate was already filled out (boy was I annoyed LOL cause I would totally have loved that!)

Rhys, Niamh, Isla and Deirdre!Please don't bastardize the spelling of Christopher to try to be different. I did like the suggestion of Christopher Robert. Or you could go with Christopher Roger, Christopher Richard, or a myriad of other choices. I think you have a winner in Christopher!
Interesting.
Here's how the name, as my husband would like it, would sound:
Christopher Robin Maudsley-King
Honestly, I was looking for alternatives to Christopher--actual names, not something made up. I do think that Christopher already has several well-known variations that are not just misspellings of Christopher.
I prefer more contemporary names as in names that people are using to name their kids today versus names that were popularly used back in the 80s and perhaps before that--traditional names.
That and the fact I used to have a classroom with three Christophers who kept getting called "Toe Fur", not something I want to think about every time I call my child's name.
I think I have more of an issue with the name itself than its traditionalism.
smaudking :o)
I really like Christopher Maudsley-King but I don't like it with the Robin. I do like Robin for a first name but we all know he would be teased mercilessly by his peers for having a "girls" name--even though the girls stole this name from the boys.
Try this website www.notwithoutmyhandbag.com and go to the right hand side to bad baby names. They have a great forum with excellent suggestions and no "tryndee" names allowed!!!
smaudking.. i love the name Christopher, but for me, wayyyy to poluar. there are many official variations of Christopher. i havent looked yet at the 'K' variations yet for you but i will. of course, as mn would work if your DH really likes it. another option is going with variations of Chris for a girl, even more options with a girl's name.
HTH & GL2U
Karsten, Carsten, -Greek/Germanic origin, means: Blessed; anointed one.
Cedar
Keaton
Kershawn
Kiefer, Arabic/Irish origin, means: Peaceful one. (this could be great, unique, distinctive NN option for Kristopher / Kristofer / Kristoffer -Greek/Danish origin)
Kincaid, Kinkade
Kinnard, Gaelic origin, means: Dweller of the high hill.
Kirkpatrick, Latin/Norse origin, means: Noble one who dwells near the church.
..would imagine, Chrispatrick would work just as well...numerous names could be matched and be true names.. has that similar feel Christopher does.
Chrispatrick Robin sounds great!
hey, another idea, i posted on the Kai thread, Kioni Hawaiian name for John, they would have name for Christopher, how about considering that option? or another language?
