I know A LOT of Chris's and they all have different personalities. One of them is a HUGE player, one of them is super funny and sweet, another is just a popular jerk. The other is an immature kid. And another is a weird guy who thinks he's funny, but he is just annoying. I will say all of the Chris's I know have a sense of humor, not all funny but most are.

Okay, I usually hate over-used names, but Christopher/Chris is my top name for a guy, and I even love Christina/Chris/Christie it for a girl. My first child, whether boy or girl, is getting some form of this name. I do know a ton of people named Chris, but I still love the classic and somehow still fresh feel of this name. It's kind of inexplicable. I just love it.
