A long time i didnt liked the name Christopher at all, but the last few weeks the name is growing on me and now im looking for Chrisopher-Combinations, with Chritopher as an fN and as the MN.
The only one i can think about are:

Dorian Christopher
Johann Christopher
Julius Christopher
Leopold Christopher
Malik Christopher
Tarik Christopher
Mathis Christopher
Joris Christopher
Max Christopher
Tom Christopher

What do you think? Better ideas?

I really like Dorian Christopher, Johann Christopher, Julius Christopher, and Max Christopher. The others are ok. Thomas would sound better than Tom I think.

Thomas Christopher

I just like the ring of that better.

Usually when a traditional name becomes so common I try to experiment with other variations:

Christoph
Chistophe
Cristobal
Kester

But I think Christopher is actually lovely as a middle name seeing it now. Of these I love...

Dorian Christopher
Julius Christopher
Leopold Christopher
Mathis Christopher

And I'd much prefer...

Maxwell Christopher nn Max
Thomas Christopher nn Tom

I personally don't think the other four work at all, with the exception of maybe Joris Christopher which I'm still unsure about.

I wouldn't use it as a moment. It needs a break. It reminds me of Jennifer. I've met so many Christophers I'm sick of it. But Christopher Robin is a really nice combo I like it. hmmmm but there's the Winnie the Pooh connection.

Christopher isn't so bad as a middle name. As a first name it is over-used to the point of being nauseating. But Christopher itself isn't as boring has Chris. Chris = yawn.

Of your choices I like:

Julius Christopher
Malik Christopher
Mathis Christopher

I also like Milo Christopher.

Johann Christopher is the best of those you've listed.
Joris would get my next vote (I'm guessing from context the J is pronounced more like an En. y?)

Some more to put with Christopher

Zachary
William
Vincent (sounds quite dignified with Christopher)
Wesley
Travis
Toby
Timothy
Sven
Stewart
Stephen
Terrence
Simon
Sheldon
Shane
Seth
Sean
Samuel
Ryan
Roy
Ronald
Rodney
Robin (though that could have its own set of Pooh issues)

Richard
Reynold
Reuben
Renny
Regis
Raymond
Ray (a friend of mine's sone is Rei Christopher... husband's Jpns)
Phillip

I dislike it because it lacks originality. I am SICK of Christophers.
