Comments for the name Chris

You can never figure out a Chris.

Chris Kirkpatrick, your voice is so beautiful!

My dad's middle name is Cris pronounced the same as Chris. I really like the spellings Cris and Kris better because they are more unique.

Chris Carraba from Dashboard Confessional.

Chris Pratt is an actor on the show Everwood.

Chris Carmack is an actor on the OC.

Chris Klein is Katie Holmes' ex, and he's in American Pie (the swing chior jock).

Blech! Terribly overused. Please, if you MUST have a Chris, have a Cris or Kris! Or maybe Christopher itself; it's a beautiful name. OR maybe Topher.

Chris Martin, the frontman of the Brit band Coldplay, is a famous bearer of this name.

Actor Chris Evans (Christopher Robert Evans) is amongst the hottest men in the world. But, as a guy, I think he's just a cool funny actor. He rocks!

Former United state champion Chris Benoit is Friday night smackdown!

It's the name of Piper Haliwell's second son on the TV show Charmed and in my opinion it's a little overused. But hey if it suits a child it's lovely but in my class of 22 there were 6 boys called chris and 4 girls also so like I say it can be overused.

Chris Rice and Chris Tomlin are Christian music artists.

Two famous bearers are R&B singer Chris Brown and rapper Chris Bridges a.k.a. Ludacris.

I know 4 Chris's, all in my grade! It's too overused!

I absolutely love the name Chris, only because Chris Brown.

Rosalia, I'm with you. I love the name Chris - but mainly because of that cutie named Chris Brown!

I personally love the name Chris, though lots of people use it. I think that when people try to change its spelling it makes it less nice. After all, there has to be at least one name that tons of people have, right?

Not a fan of the name, but I like that everone does not feel that they need to name their child it.

It's a grand name, but a bit too overused. Someone yells out "Chirs!" and 15 people look around. Even girls are called this. I like it. Just too many!

Chris Masters of WWE bears this name.

One famous bearer of this name is Chris Barnes, the former vocalist of Cannibal Corpse, an American metal band. Right now, he is the vocalist for Six Feet Under.

Chris Warren plays Zeke in the High School Musical movies.

Gosh, there are no words to how utterly fed up I am with this nickname. It is SO common and it has been SO overused. It's almost tragically boring and unoriginal. Plus, it makes me think of rather unpleasant people.

I know someone named Chris, & my cousin Casey (and I) just love to nickname him. From Cris, Kris, Chrissy, Criss, Crissi, Krisey, they all spell in odd ways but read as Chris or Chrissy. But HE likes Crissi best.

Chris Lightfellow, a character from Suikoden III, is the official bearer of the True Water Rune and Captain of the Zexen Knights. Some of her other titles include: Silver Maiden, White Knight, Silver-haired Demon, and Goddess of Death.

A famous bearer is Chris (Christopher probably full name) Redfield from the Resident Evil games.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Chris Griffin in Family Guy.

Boring and unoriginal. Every Christopher I knew went by this. Please, no more.

There is also Chris Perez, Selena Quintanilla Perez's husband, who played the electric guitar in Selena's band "Selena y Los Dinos".

The name Chris is used as a male name in the Netherlands where it is a short form of Christiaan (Dutch form of Christian), Christoffel (Dutch form of Christopher) or Christophe (French form of Christopher). [noted -ed]

I think this an awesome nickname. :) It's classic and has this cool kind of feeling too it. I actually don't know very many guys named Chris, so I guess the reason why I like it so much is that it isn't so 'overused' where I live.

As a masculine name, Chris is also used in Limburgish as a short form for Christianus (Christian) and Christophorus (Christopher).

Although it's overused, boring, and dull, I can't help but smile every time I hear this name.

I have 4 famous people with the name Chris-

1) An awesome bass player from the band Yes named Chris Squire. I love the fish and I love what he does in Close to the Edge and Tempus Fugit.

2) A cool drummer who was with SRV and in Arc Angles Chris Layton. You have to love the hairdoo. LOL(^.^)

3) An actor Chris Kattan. Love him in the Saturday Night Live skit "A Night At the Roxbury". And Love the Movie too "A Night At The Roxbury" He played Doug Butabi in that one. The Brother of Steve Butabi (Will Ferle)

4) And Chris Tucker... All I have to Say is "DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH"

This name derives from Christ (Jesus}. Christ is Greek word meaning the person who takes the chrism, unction.
