Re: Names that are easy to cause a person to be misgendered
Female Chrises' real names tend to be short for either Christine or Christina. Female Alexes are born Alexandra.

I've seen more variety with Alex than with Chris-- Alexandria, Alexa, Alexia, Alexis, etc. as well as Alexandra. (I'm sure some of the ones I've met have just been named Alex too, but maybe I assumed it was short for something and never asked.)With Christina, Christine, etc. I think Christy and Chrissy have become a lot more popular nicknames than Chris. When I was younger I met a lot of girls called Chris short for one of those names, but now I feel like I only meet Christy's, Christie's, Chrissy's, etc.
