Re: How did Chris/Kris become strictly a boy's name in recent years?
Christopher and Christian are still popular names for boys (both are still in the top 100) while Christina / Kristina are out of date. Girls named Christina may still go by Chris, I wouldn't call it "strictly" a boy's name. But there are significantly less of them than there were in the 70s and 80s.
Christina + it's various spellings were a trend and Christopher/Christian could be argued as classics, so "Chris" becomes a classic nickname for boys.
