Christian is my last name. People pronounce it different all the time. It's really (chrish-chen) like in the bible, but there's some people who pronounce it as (christy-anne). It's been happening for so many years that I don't even bother correcting people anymore. Say it how they want.

The German pronunciation of the name Christian is KRIS-tyahn.
The only person I've known named Christian was a girl from Germany, but she pronounces it "KRIS-tee-ahn". To me, that's a better pronouciation than "KRIS-chen".
