One of my best friends in high school was Chris, whose real name was Christian. Unless her very feminine middle name was also made known in whatever someone was reading (like a class roster), people always assumed she was a boy, which annoyed her even though she played it off. She hated her name. Apparently, her parents didn't actually come up with her first name, but rather her godmother did; so Chris considered that extra ammo in hating her name.

In all honesty I wouldn't consider any Chris- name for my child, as "Chris" truly must me the most common name I've ever encountered in my life (even more than "Alex," which really says something); but if we're talking feminine names then I think my stepsister's name, Christiana, takes the cake. (She dislikes her name, though, and goes by Christi.)
