HelpRe: How did Chris/Kris become strictly a boy's name in recent years?
in reply to a message by CodyRhodesDiva
My mom's name is Christine (born 1950) and some people call her Chris, but usually Christine. I think she went by Chris a lot more in high school. I had a great aunt Christina (born 1924) who went by Teenie.
I currently have three friends named Christine. One (34) goes by Chris, one (52) goes by Chrisie (not a typo, just a dumb spelling that her mother gave her when she was a baby), and one (30ish) goes by Chrissy. I work with a Christina (25-35 years old, not sure) who goes by Christina or Tina.
I do assume "male" when I just hear the name Chris or read it spelled that way, though. If I saw Kris written, I would be more likely to assume female, I think.
