Girl's Family Name
| Thu, 10-11-2007 - 2:35pm |
I'm not pregnant and not trying (yet) but was wondering if anyone had any name suggestions for a girl starting with CHRIS. . .
My family has a tradition of naming the 1st born girls with CHRIS. . we have had Christabelle, Chistianna, Christine, & Christa. I love Christana but am unsure if people would pronounce it Chris-tee-ahhna or Chris-tee-annah.
Anyway any creative Chris names?

Does it have to have the Chris spelling?
Christa, Christy, Christen
Sorry I got ahead of myself with the spelling of Christiana (I forgot the second
I like the name Christiana a lot, although I'm sure it'll often get mistaken for Christina.
I would say Kris-chee-yahna or Kris-chee-yanna when talking about Christiana Campbell's, which is one of the historic taverns in Colonial Williamsburg. When reading it as a first name, I might also say Kris-tee-yahna, or Kris-tee-yanna. I think I might use those when talking about the tavern, too; I'm not sure! But I'm much more likely to say yahna (but not yonna) than yanna.
I think if I were presented with the name, I'd do my best to say somewhere in the middle of all of them, and then wait to hear how they intended it.
My sister votes for Kris-tee-yahna, by the way, with Kris-tee-yanna as a second.
Yikes, that's more confusing than I thought!
Hope this helps!

I've always liked Christina though.
What do you think of Christalyn? I went to school with a girl named that and while its not my style its not a bad name and it honors your tradtion.

I like Chrissa or Christobel.
I acutally like it best the way you inadvertantly spelled it on your first post. I went to school with a Kristana pronounced krist-on-uh and always liked her name. Christana, though, would probably be mistaken for Christina for those who just look quickly...
I like Christiana, very pretty.
The only other option I can think of is Christian, which I know is traditionally a boy's name, but I grew up with a female Christian and it suited her very well.
Thanks belle_petite for the siggy!
