Pretty usual where I live, though not used by English speakers. Can be Christoph, can be Christoff, or either can have a K instead of the Ch. An Afrikaans-speaking Chris would be Christoph or Christiaan, never Christopher, so it's a group marker, and since it's not my group, I just accept it without much thought.

It looks like Christopher has been chopped off. Christophe would be better as it is a legit variant.

Hi !!!!

I have no particular ties with Christoph. I think it is quite boring.

When I was a child I was sure that the French form of Cristoforo were Christophère (it was Christophe actually). After I found the form Kristoff (Frozen) but also this one is quite weak.

---

My favourite form of this name is Cristóbal.

I think it's nice but seems very German. About like if someone was a Fritz instead of a Fred.

Its okay. I prefer Christopher. Christoph looks incomplete to me.

I like it better than I do Christopher, but I'm tired of all "Chris" names.

It also makes me think of when my daughter, as a teenager, had a relationship with a guy named Kristoff. He didn't always treat her well, and one time when she was angry with him, I asked, "What's wrong? Pissed off at Kristoff?" and only realized it rhymed after I'd said it.

It is a common name in german speaking areas and I know at least three Christophs and one Christophe (french variant). Personally, I prefer Christopher. I do not like the ending with the -ph sound.

It looks incomplete to me. Christophe would be the spelling I'd expect.

It's not bad, but would be better as Christophe I think.
