Help[Opinions] Re: Christian
in reply to a message by Ismene
Er ... last time I looked, Catholics were the original Christians!
That said, I shouldn't think it matters.
That said, people may well jump to conclusions, but they can be told to conclude otherwise if they persist! I know a Jewish guy who married a Christine - they're both atheists, but it still causes some surprise. And people get used to it very quickly.
And won't it be likely to shorten to Chris?
I've got - or I had - two great-grandmothers named Christiana, which I like but it is rather a mouthful and though I haven't got a religious bone in my body I would have used it gladly as a mn, given enough daughters. I would also have considered Christian as a mn for a son, given enough sons!
ETA: forgot about combos!
