This weekend I got to thinking that I would like to name my next daughter Christy. I have never liked this name but for some reason it resonated with me. I would like a full name for Christy, but I don't want Christine or Christina. I have a friend Christine and people would ask if I named my daughter after her. Then I would have to say no I just like the name, and they would say why not? and Christine might feel bad. As for Christina there are too many negative associations. I know many of you will say this is a dated name (I agree. Part of me thinks "How '80s can you get?") or that you don't like it. What I am asking is do you have an alternative full name for Christina/Christine that could get to the nn Christy? If you post an Irish, Gaelic or Scottish name could you also provide the pronunciation?
