HelpRe: it's football season again ...
in reply to a message by Ottilie
I was thinking about this, and I could kinda see Christen as a male name. Like Christie. Christine looks very female, but Christen has a sort of Euro Metrosexual vibe to it.

I was thinking it might be pronounced like Christen :) But, really, what about Christine is so feminine? There are a fair few -ine names that are used for males, so I don't really see it as an overly feminine suffix.
I'm sure this guy doesn't mind his name, and he almost likely didn't choose his career based on it as a way of compensating, like Rox suggested. What's there to compensate, anyway?

I guess no name is really inherently overtly feminine or masculine - it's society and current culture that puts that label on. Like Susan - that name doesn't even have any of the distinctive "this is for girls" elements in it: no elle, ella, ette, ina, etc. But you'd never see the name "Susan" and think "I wonder if that person is a boy or a girl". Christine is the same sort of name. At least, in my experience.
