Nicknames for Christian - any ideas?

I love this name, but I have troubles with the nickname. "Chris" doesn't seem like a sweet enough name to be used by his Mother... My hubby obviously doesn't have this problem - Chris is just fine, in his opinion... I just wanted to pick you brains and see if there are any other nicknames, which wouldn't be too feminine, but still loving.


Full name is "Christian Alexander"...


Thanks, Ladies!!!

I have a friend named Christian and he hates being called Chris. Some of the younger girls call him Chrissy when they really want to drive him nuts!! He goes by strictly Christian.

I think nn can evolve from anything... not just names. We have a Bean (Hannah), we have an Emmy Lou(from Emma Elizabeth) and we have a Chubba (from Benjamin)... we also have a Gabe (from Gabriel).

I've always thought Chip was sweet, obviously a nn for Christopher but it could work for Christian too.
