When I first heard Topher (which was in the comments for Christopher) I'll admit I thought it sounded weird, and all I could think of was tofu, which somehow makes me think of tuna :-/ But then the other day, while we were waiting to go on a roller coaster, my sister said, "You know what name I really like? Topher. I think it's a cool name. I'm going to name my son Christopher and call him Topher for short. It's so cool, and it even sounds like gopher! I think I'll rename my hamster and call it Topher".

At this point I reminded her that her hamster is female, which apparently didn't matter to her.

Now I am rethinking this name a little. Maybe it's not so bad. I do think that I'd rather name my hamster Topher than my son. Topher does sound pretty cute for a hamster...

So WDYTO Topher? Is it an alright nickname for a child? Can it last a while, or should it only be used for kids?

That's all, thanks.
