ArchivesRe: Popularity for Christopher
in reply to a message by Agata
Based on other answers, I'd guess that the apparent outbreak of female Christophers is actually caused by forms that were misread or just completed incorrectly and never checked.
The 1950s had a good many new or newish popular names: Barbara, Deborah, Linda ... and Christine too, for girls, so people clearly liked the Chris element. And might also have felt the need of a change from the old names to fresh, modern ones. No more Great Depression, no more war. Must have been good!
