About Christop:
In 1989, the state of New York truncated all names over 8 characters because of a glitch. These include Alexander, Elizabeth or Katherine, among others.
In this case, Christop should be Christopher.

Wait, so, if the name shows up in any year besides 1989, it's still a legitimate name, right?

No, this is not enough. You should provide evidence that it is really used as a name.
Databases contain errors of all kind: Spelling errors, wrong gender marks, confusion of given names and surnames, confusion of titles and given names, confusion of abbreviations and given names, to name a few. Compilations from different databases tend to amplify these errors. So databases have to be used with care.
EDIT: Specific care has to be taken about US census data: Traditional censuses were taken by people writing down name they understood (listening comprehension and spelling error are possible) by hand and the names have to be transcribed from handwriting (more errors possible). A name only attested in US census data and nowhere else is probably an error.

Do criminal records count, in place of birth certificates?

I don't know why you submitted and resubmitted Unnamed six times over the past week but it was deleted because it is not a name; it's a placeholder.
The same is true for Unknown, Babyboy and Infant.

One more thing:
Since this is an ongoing issue with some of your submissions: when you submit rare names, please provide sources.
As per the guidelines, "the burden of proof for rare names rests upon the person who submitted it. The editor should err on the side of deletion if he or she cannot find acceptable proof that the name is valid." (https://www.behindthename.com/submit/help.php#rare)
Even though you'd preferably add sources for every submission. Thank you.

When you can be sufficiently sure that just one of those is real, this is sufficient to add the name. Note that, e.g., #26 Christop Johan-Freidrich con Gedichte Schiller is containing a whole bunch of transcription and spelling errors: Gedichte isn't part of the name, and the full name of Friedrich Schiller is correctly Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (note the two n in Johann and the ie in Friedrich and the von).
