It’s a 4 word explanation, so I wouldn’t sweat it. But yes, whenever you do something unusual, whether it be pronunciation, spelling, or using a common nickname as a full name, it may require explanation. Choose your name accordingly.

It’s fine. I know a Bob and a Joe who are not Robert or Joseph.

If you limit yourself to names that don't involve some kind of explanation you are really limiting yourself.

Yeah, I had the same issue with the girl’s name Dennie. I love the name - it was my grandmother’s nickname - but hate Denise.

I had to let it go. Maybe if #2 is a girl I will reconsider.

Should I just give up on the name? I don’t want him spending his life saying, “No, it’s just Chris”.
