Kris is an absolutely gorgeous name that only the most elegant, poised people are worthy of. When I hear the name, all that I picture is a jovial woman dancing to her favorite music whilst wearing a dress coated in aquamarine sequins and a charming bow tie. It’s a very comforting image to me, and Kris possesses that same warm demeanor. If you are considering the name Kris for your child, prepare for them to become a very successful businessperson. They will likely have six children that all have custody of names beginning with the letter K. Those six mini-Krises will also be world-renowned for their endearing qualities. I recommend that if you have a child named Kris, you give them a signature haircut that they maintain for at least the first 18 years of their life. I additionally suggest that you refrain from naming your child Kris if your last name is Jenner. This is because you may receive a copyright strike from Kris Jenner herself. I, being the helpful human that I am, have an amazing tip for if your child gets made fun of for being named Kris: simply go into the perpetrator’s face and scream, “Gitchie gitchie ya ya, ta ta!” This tactic will intimidate any opponents into submission. It’s crucial to set your child up for multi-million-dollar success starting from the ripe age of 0 years old. Kris is not a name meant for just anyone; Kris is meant for only people of the highest caliber. Be careful when naming your child Kris, because you might just be harnessing a true force of nature. Kris is not for the faint of heart. It’s a name with true power behind it that is only meant to be utilized when absolutely necessary. Thank you for your time.

As you all must know, Kris Jenner is a very well-known carrier of this name. I love it. I find it to be short and sweet, and it can be the slightest bit sassy! If you name your child Kris, I highly recommend you give them the classic Kris Jenner haircut for their entire childhood. This is just a suggestion, but I think that they would get a multitude of compliments. Kris is the perfect name for any little one or senior citizen. For all humans on Earth (and the ISS), Kris is a wonderful name.
